Park Here, Go There

Baraga State Park is your base camp for fun adventures

Baraga State Park is a perfect base camp to explore the wealth of scenic, historic, cultural and recreational opportunities, not only in Baraga County, but the surrounding areas in the Western Upper Peninsula. The popular park is located a quarter mile south of Baraga along US-41.

Situated along Lake Superior’s scenic Keweenaw Bay, this historic 101-year-old Michigan State Park has many modern amenities for campers. There are 95 campsites with electricity, some with gravel or paved pads, or long pull-through sites. Of those, 13 sites are full hookup (electric, water, sewer). And with free Wi-Fi in the campground, you can work from your camper, stay connected with family and friends, surf the web or stream your favorite shows. Additional campground amenities include two restroom buildings with showers, a sanitation station, a 3/4-mile hiking trail, and a pavilion for campers.

Want to go camping but don’t own a tent or camper? The “Antlers” mini-cabin sleeps four and is furnished with a bunkbed and cots. It has a kitchenette with a microwave, mini refrigerator and coffee pot. There’s also a picnic table, fire ring and outdoor grill.

Baraga State Park is ORV-friendly, so you can park your vehicle and trailer and head out to nearby ORV trails. The park connects to Twin Lakes and Bewabic state parks and the Bond Falls Scenic Site via several motorized routes.

A Recreation Passport is required for vehicle entry into Michigan state parks, recreation areas, state forest campgrounds, and most boating access sites and state trailheads. Visit Michigan.gov/RecreationPassport for more details and to purchase.
