Our 4th of July Camping weekend at Union River Big Bear Campground on Lake Superior in Michigan's U.P. Some of the highlights from our 3 days camping, hiking and exploring the Porcupine Mountains of Michigan. Jen and I had first stayed here a year earlier and really loved the entire area!
This year we brought the kids and Chipper along to share in on the fun! We once again went to Lake of the Clouds and did a few short hikes before cooling off in the clear refreshing waters of Lake Superior! The sunsets here are always awesome and even though the fireworks displays were minimal it was an Independence Day to remember! Day 3 we made a short trip to explore Bonanza Falls and see the beauty of the Iron River that eventually flows into Lake Superior. The Union River Big Bear Campground is an excellent place to stay if you plan a trip for yourself. Whether you’re tenting or have a camper or RV this campground is perfect. A very nice bathroom facility with showers located centrally brings you most of the comforts of home if you’re not into primitive camping. Lake Superior is located directly across the road from the campsites which makes for an easy walk to a nice sandy beach to enjoy the long summer days!
