Customer Reviews
Little Sandy Bay Campground Pros: - [ ] Friendly Campground Hosts. - [ ] Location along Lake Superior. - [ ] Apostle Islands National Seashore Visitor Center. - [ ] Shade Trees. Cons: - [ ] $40 per night fee for an unpaved campsite seems high for a small campsite with no water or sewer connections. - [ ] Reservations have to be made over the phone and have a $20 fee. - [ ] The electric pedestals are shared by two campsites. - [ ] The pedestals have only one 15 amp outlet, one 30 amp outlet and one 50 amp outlets, so you may need a power cable adapter if your neighbor is plugged into the outlet you want to use. - [ ] The old, well worn shower house is overdue for replacement. One of the two doors has a broken lock and the rooms don’t have proper ventilation. - [ ] The shower requires eigh
My fiance and i had a great time here. They allowed us last minute to use an RV site instead of a tent site which worked out fine. the accomodations were what youd expect from a campground. gave us easy access to the surrounding area and had zero issues with noise, or other people, everyone was very nice that we spoke to including the people staying there as the camp liason
Camping for tents is an afterthought. What was probably once a nice tenting campground has been electrified and is full of trailers. Tents are regulated to the field next to the NPS building with really bright night lights and a mechanical unit running constantly or a parking lot like strip in the back. The field is close to the beach and playground and has trees and shade. It’s really a nice place unless you have a desire to sleep outside in the in dark and quiet.
No "rooms" at the campground but several different kinds of campsites available including tent sites and RV sites with and without electricity. Other amenities include potable well water, men's/women's restroom, men's/women's restroom plus changing rooms, private showers, sand volleyball, small playground, beach, pavilion, walking trail and commercial fishing museum. Everything is handicap accessible and facilities are clean
A decent campground to stay at. It is right on the lake in a decent dock. It is also right next to the visitor center. The actual campground itself had some electrical troubles and in the past they charged for showers, but now they don't. It's a little confusing and the showers are very dirty. The bathrooms are pretty well maintained, but I believe that is own/operated by the national park service and not the city campground.
