A little about the bay

One of the oldest campgrounds on the big lake.

Sunset Bay sits right where the Keweenaw meets Lake Superior, on a wide stretch of pebble-and-sand beach. It's been welcoming campers since 1944, and it's still run by the family.

Nothing fancy — just clean sites, a quiet shore, and some of the best sunsets in the U.P. Spend the day on the water or the trails, then circle up around the fire. That's the whole idea.
