My room was huge - basically an apartment - and it had an incredible view of the bay and downtown Munising. I could easily live there, right in that room, haha. Check in was easy, and the girl at the desk - Micky - was very friendly and helpful. She even came to my room to help me with the TV (user error - the TV was fine). The room was very clean and quiet, and the hotel is conveniently located to Pictured Rocks and Grand Marais. I'll definitely stay here again the next time I'm up that way. I would have stayed another night, but unfortunately they were completely booked (like everywhere else in the UP). I'll be back :)

Maybe the worst place I've ever stayed. Old, dreary, could use a zillion updates. The only…read morepositives to it are the lake view and the free ice. All night long there was a tapping in the bedroom. (I wish Yelp would let me post a video of it!!) It reminded me of the tactic they use to keep people awake and delusional in the military. A dog barking next door. A fly buzzing around the room. I would not recommend this place to even my worst enemy.

This was such a great place to stay!

The owners told us about 13 different waterfalls in the area, and Pictured Rocks coastline which is gorgeous! We had a blast fishing and hanging out at Kemosabe and will definitely go back! The cabins have full kitchens right down to spices and coffee! When we arrived, there was fresh-baked cookies waiting for us that were awesome! They offer dinner home-made and delivered to your cabin---we had lasagna and loved not having to worry about dinner one night. This was homey and so cool! You rock Kemosabe!

The hotel was dog friendly, clean, comfortable, and well-kept. The free breakfast was better than expected and gave us a good start each morning. Our room faced South Bay of Lake Superior, which made for a beautiful view -- especially at sunset (though you'll need a little patience, since the sun doesn't set until after 10 PM in the summer!). The location was convenient with lots of great activities nearby, making it easy to explore the area without driving too far. Overall, this hotel added comfort and relaxation to an adventurous trip. Would definitely stay again when passing through!

The price was high for a room with a lake view but their season is not very long so I understand. The location is good just a mile into town and a short drive to the western sights of Pictured Rocks National Lakeshore Park. The room was decent nothing fancy except for the nice balcony looking out to the lake. Unfortunately the strong north wind and cold front limited our ability to sit outside except for a short bit. Welcome to Lake Superior at the very end of May! The breakfast room was super tiny for such a big place and on a Sunday morning it was cramped and hard to move around. Overall it worked for us.

Good price, good place to stay. Loved the view from the kitchen window and deck, it's great. I've…read morestayed here several times both summer and winter, it's always a good time. Washer and dryer in the house is a luxury compared to other cottages I've stayed in. It isn't perfect but it really works well for group of friends or family. Love the sauna too. The casino is within walking distance, just look out for highway traffic. Grand Island is just across the water. It's a neat place to tour on bike, they also have bus tours and hiking. A lot of it is up hill (it felt like 90%) but, a beautiful ride. Watch out for bear scat in the road. Uncle Ducky's kayaks is across from the casino, we just walked down there to the Duck Pond Bar. Overall I definitely recommend this place.

Having said that, a quick tip is you will need to bring bar soap, shampoo and a hairdryer. Other than that, it's already there, including a coffee pot. We were there in April during the week. Only one restaurant only open until 6 pm, so bring food. There are a few grocery stores in town. A great, peaceful area. Great views. Very clean. Owners are very, very nice and accommodating. It was cold weather while we were there, but it looks like a great place to visit in the Summer and Winter.

We heard another camper (with another group) played the sax one evening and it was very soothing with the sound of the lake lapping the shoreline.

Bay Furnace Camp and Picnic Grounds is a terrific place to stay for the simple traveler who…read moreappreciates sleeping outdoors in the heart of nature. I discovered Bay Furnace through the app on my phone called Campendium. Campendium was very helpful in assisting me finding worthwhile campsites along my 2021 summer road trip. Although Bay Furnace Campground is technically located in the town of Munising, Michigan, it's actually situated in the charming town of Christmas, MI. Though when I was here visiting back in the month of May...there wasn't anything Christmas(y) about the town, lol. Still, the main purpose for me being in Munising....was to explore the scenic coastal landscape along the shores of Lake Superior. Overall this campground is set just outside Pictured Rocks National Lakeshore, and a host of beautiful waterfalls. After spending a good portion of my day driving along Pictured Rocks NL...I couldn't find any affordable accommodations in Munising. The next best thing for myself was camping. I had a tent with me and showed up here to Bay Furnace Campground. It was early evening when I pulled up to the entrance area. The instructions stated that Bay Furnace accepts about half reservations at recreation.gov and half on a first come, first served basis. I was a little nervous about not finding a campsite when I started driving throughout the grounds. It was late in the day on a Thursday just at the start of the summer vacation travel season, yet I spotted an unoccupied site right near the entrance and backed my car into the site. Yah, I was good for the evening! As per normal policy...when you arrive, you pick a campsite and then fill out a slip with your payment and drop it into a safety box. Then the campsite is yours and you can start constructing your tent and getting settled in. It was $22 per night. They accept cash and checks, though no credit cards. Checks must be made out to RRM, Inc. and need to include your Drivers License and License Plate Numbers. There are about 50 non-electric campsites on the grounds each with a fire-pit and picnic table. Check-In time is 2pm and Check-Out time is 11am. Honestly, I really lucked out probably grabbing the 50th and last site. Because in general, throughout this UP section of Michigan I had trouble discovering on a whim available campgrounds that weren't full. I was grateful to be here. Unfortunately there weren't any showers to use, but still...I had cell phone reception and each campsite was really spacious. I felt like I had plenty of privacy being in the woods without anyone around. Two extra notes I'd like to mention... I didn't have plans for the night and across the street from Bay Furnace was the Kewadin Christmas Casino. So...after setting up my tent and washing up...I took a short 15 minute walk outside the campground and went inside the casino and played some blackjack for an hour. It was sort of a pleasant change of pace from driving and picture taking all around the UP, to all of a sudden sitting down and playing blackjack at a random casino. Returning back to my campsite, there was a terrific little overlook vista point section just to the side of the entrance where I sat down on the shore of Lake Superior and admired the colorful sunset. It was a pleasant way to end my day. This panoramic coastline beach shore can't be missed when you're walking towards the facilities area. I highly recommend hanging out here when the sun begins to fade. Although I am a big outdoorsy type of person who loves being among nature...I just really wanted this opportunity to highlight Bay Furnace Camp and Picnic Grounds. Munising, Michigan is well known for its scenic waterfalls combined with picturesque vantage points of Lake Superior that makes this section of the Upper Peninsula of Michigan quite popular. But for those tourists who don't mind setting up camp among quiet surroundings with basic amenities, then I believe you will appreciate choosing to stay at Bay Furnace Campground in the heart of Pictured Rocks National Lakeshore.
