So from our Drummond Lake campground, we headed east. One of the places that kept popping up in photos posted on forums and groups was Sault St. Marie. Our stopovers were at Pete's Lake Campground and Monocle Lake Campground. Both were national forest campgrounds without any hookups. So we had the opportunity to exercise our generators. Both were great campgrounds and we really liked our site at Monocle Lake.

Freighters navigating between Lake Superior and Lake Huron pass through the Soo Locks at Sault St. Marie. The city owns a campground right on the St. Mary River, the Aune Osborn Campground. Hookups are 30 amp and water only, but the views of the river traffic are worth it. The campground can be hard to reserve, so plan early or only plan on a day or two.
We were there for three nights, plenty of time for us to visit the Soo Locks and the tourist downtown area. On our last night there, we had the opportunity to meet up with other Newmar owners. The Michigan State Rally started the day we were checking out, but a number of folks arrived early. You might find a couple of familiar faces toward the end of this blog entry from a fellow Newmar owner here.
