Plan Your Stay at Black Beach Campground

THE HEART OF THE NORTH SHORE

No matter the season, Silver Bay offers a wide variety of outdoor activities, festivals and events to take part in. Hit the endless snowmobile trails in the winter, visit the many raging waterfalls in the spring, catch a few lake trout out of Lake Superior while soaking up the summer sun or explore the beauty that fall brings.

Black Beach

The campground's namesake, Black Beach is found just a short walk from the campground. Go for a swim, have a picnic or relax and watch the waves crash in. If you are visiting the Silver Bay area or staying at the campground, the beach is a must see!

Golfing

The 9-hole golf course opened to the public in 1983 is owned by the City of Silver Bay and remains a public facility. The golf course is a very well maintained, regulation par 36 that measures 3,173 from the back tees. Surrounded by heavily forested hills, and laid out across the east branch of the Beaver River, the golf course offers both natural beauty as well as a fair challenge to the golfers that visit.
