Gitche Gumee RV Park and Campground

The place is great. I loved hiking right out my door and beach as well. Usually I had that whole beach to myself. Jeff is an eccentric character. At first I found him amusing, though near the end he became paranoid. I always paid everything on time or in advance. I prepaid for time next year.. then all of the sudden he started panicking about the electric. So I paid him extra to cover electric. Even after doing that he began harassing me.. harassing me while I was with clients, on the phone, hosting guests.. The final straw was this last day as I'm moving out he's threatened to call the police and have me towed.. I can find no rational reason for his behavior. I have receipts for all my payments and I have been very generous and accommodating when he's come up with whatever random electric bill he gives me (which by the way has always been conspicuously higher than ANYWHERE I've paid electric on this rig before.) I've also noticed him giving everyone a different price depending on how he sizes them up. So listen, it's a great spot. Though I would say Jeff is temperamental and unpredictable. Stay here at your own risk. I was warned. I didn't listen. And aside from his harassment being a pain in my butt, it's been fairly harmless.

Great time camping at Gitche Gumee! We camped in a tent, the campsite was large and Ranger Jeff placed us in an area not near other campers as we requested. We were able to purchase firewood directly from the campground which was cut right in front of us. The bathrooms were a little dirty but we can't complain because we were camping and the showers had warm water. We did not look into any of the buildings; theater, game room etc. There was a playground for children, but we didn't see it. The location was great, only about 25 minutes from Munising and 10 minutes from Marquette. It was great being across the street from Lake Superior. We will be camping again at this campground.

Pretty underwhelmed with my experience at this campground. We stayed for a week in a tent and had booked our stay a month in advance and was totally convinced and told that this place had the cleanest bathrooms around and great sites. I don't have any complaints about the site we set up our tent. On the contrary I was very disappointed with the bathrooms and showers. Bathrooms were dirty, dark and dingy. No soap, no paper towels, out of order toilets, and the toilets that do work had leaky fixtures. The showers are also very dark can't really tell how dirty they are because they are painted brown. Water pressure was a hit and miss. Showers would just stop mid shampoo. One day during our stay there was no water in the whole campground so we had to shower at the YMCA. The fudge shop and club house are non existent, the buildings a pad locked shut. For the amount of money we paid for this site I was really expecting better quality.

We were searching for a campground to stay at. Pulled off to Gitche and we were the last campsite he had available. The man checking us in was super nice, and helpful. We would defintely come back. It's a cool looking place! Wish we had more time to spend here.

Worst experience ever. I will never return. First the website shows it to be a nice kept up place with things to do inside the campsite.. WRONG... the place is rundown and has the look of being abandoned. Also it was $98 for a tent for only 2 nights.. also my last straw was that the guy stuck is in some random part of the park where there are people who LIVE on the campground in tents... just overall horrible..
