Nahma Peninsula Campgrounds

NO-NAH-MA RESORT
(906) 644-2728
This resort occupies the old Nahma mill building and the lumber port's lagoon-like slips. The former mill now houses 4 two-bedroom rental units with kitchens laid out like the cabins (below). There too are a guest laundry, a game room (ping-pong, air hockey, and such) and rentals — bicycles, sports equipment, and boats: canoes, paddleboats, fishing boats, and jet skis. Boats can be trailered anywhere, or launched on the resort's slips, which connect with Big Bay de Noc, just a short distance by boat or foot.
Six 2-bedroom cabins sleep up to six and rent for $675/week or $105/night. The living-kitchen area has a sofa-sleeper and gas fireplace. They face one of the slips; cedars block the view of Big Bay de Noc. All have limited cable TV with ESPN. All permit smoking. Not air-conditioned. The office phone is available from 9 to 6 daily except Wed. & Sun.
Hands-on resident manager Mary Levine, a year-round Nahma resident, has been around for years. The resort now operates a convenience store. Its private beach is around from the slips, by the Nahma River mouth at Lake Michigan. (Logging debris prevents boats from going up the river.)
50 campsites with optional 20 or 30 amp electricity are in a loop along a finger separating 2 slips. Mostly they aren't shady. Some cedars dot the area. Sites are $17 with electric, $15 without. Free cable TV access, first-come, first-served. A fire ring and picnic table comes with each site. The campground is served by three vault toilets, each with two holes. Five showers. There are 5 showers. Several dump stations are nearby.

All 6 of these rustic campsites (no electricity, no showers) are on the Sturgeon River, and are handicap-accessible. This small campground is used mostly by travelers on U.S. 2. See info about the adjacent picnic area (a separate point of interest) for more about this pretty place.
