Au Sable Point Campground
Reservations are accepted at Au Sable Point Campground, allowing visitors to secure their preferred campsite in advance. This is particularly beneficial during the peak camping season when the campground tends to be busy. Speaking of the best time to visit, the summer months from June to August are highly recommended. During this time, campers can enjoy pleasant weather, clear skies, and a variety of recreational activities like hiking, fishing, and swimming in the nearby Lake Superior.
Aside from its natural beauty, it is worth noting that the campground is located near the Au Sable Light Station. This historic lighthouse, built in 1874, is a popular attraction and offers guided tours for visitors.
