N46° 54.597' W88° 02.287'

These coordinates are for the 'main' area to camp on the beach. Been there a few times. We call it Hell cuz of the horse flies. It was VERY crowded August 2020! So we went west, hugging the coast for about 1/2 mile and found a completely secluded spot. Right on the water, high clearance and 4x4 needed for the 1/8 mile 'entrance'. And no flies!

I'm in GR, and been exploring the UP every year for 7 years. 9 day trips. I've built quite a data base of trail/seasonal roads, waterfalls, ghost towns, and campsites. Been from Drummond to the tip of the peninsular numerous times. I'm willing to share intel...

Here's another spot to check out. N46° 49.949' W87° 58.765' It's next to the road , on a waterfall, and has pots and pans hanging from the trees. I think hikers also use it.

Here's a pic from Huron river camp looking at Lake Superior.
