Beautiful little lake with 4 camp sites & boat launch. First come first serve sites, no reservations, we lucked out & got the last site for a 4 day weekend. Great location very close to Munising & pictured rocks, close to public beaches also. Nice sites, no running water, vault toilet (that was VERY clean) picnic table & a fire pit. If you're a rustic camper, I highly recommend Canoe Lake. And as the name implies, a fantastic place to bring a canoe or kayak!
Literally my favorite little campground! Perfect for peace and quiet! Second year in a row camping here and it will definitely be a every year trip!
It was a nice place to camp and $15 tonight
Went camping with some buddies for five days, had the whole campground to ourselves the entire time. Scenery was awesome, would gladly come again.
simply amazing and very private. Will be planning on going again.
