Happy Camping – Stay a While Camping offers a perfect blend of being shoulder-to-shoulder with nature and that of affordability. And what can beat being seated around a blazing campfire, swapping tales of the day’s adventures, watching the stars and later, lying in a tent listening to the loons serenading you to sleep? Baraga County offers a mixture of campgrounds to fit your style from primitive to those with electrical service, showers and even Wi-Fi! In addition to campgrounds and parks-with-campgrounds, there are parks where you can bring the family for a picnic or serious tanning time on the beach.
