Black River Harbor Campground

Black River Harbor Campground is located approximately 15 miles outside Bessemer, Michigan in Gogebic County (in the Upper Peninsula of Michigan). The campground is located up on a bluff where you can see the shoreline of Lake Superior from a few campsites.

The nearby Black River National Scenic River provides excellent opportunities for fishing from the dock or hiking along the river and viewing the five waterfalls. The North Country National Scenic Trail goes along the Black River and crosses over the suspension bridge and into the Black River Harbor Day Use Area. There is a short connector trail from the campground to the day use area. The access road and all campsites will be paved by the end of June 2022.
