Formerly a State Forest Campground, it is now owned & operated by Hudson Township. The road actually passes right through the campground. The lake is small and pretty, probably good for fishing, but not sure about swimming. The beach area is sandy but the water looks a little silty and has some reeds. Campsites are big but there's only 10 sites, a couple are lakeside. Very peaceful visit! Fee is only $10 a night!
Traveled across the UP last year trying to locate a perfect location. FOUND IT!! Quiet. Closer to gas and shops but still a ways off the heavily traveled roads. Fire wood(please make $ donation) best kept outhouses I’ve ever come across…I’ll be back in a couple months!!
Typical campsites here are very open to neighboring sites with minimal vegetation between them to provide privacy. Some newly-developed campsites on the far end of the campground provide better privacy and direct lake access. Lake appears swimmable, though the campground lacks a formal beach. Facilities are clean and well-maintained.
stayed there for a week and trains went by at 3, 4, and 6 AM on different nights. sandhill cranes also woke me up every morning at 6AM, can’t really blame them though (: . not very clear signage, so i kept driving down the dirt road it’s on for a ways because it’s not clear where the campsites end. it had free firewood (with donations i believe, not sure as i didn’t use any) and the spots were a decent size. some were on a bit of a slope, especially ones by the lake unfortunately. nice clean restrooms, the less modern ones smelled better as i’m assuming they get used less. on the surrounding roads/trails near the bathrooms, there are huge blackberry and raspberry patches!
We primarily rustic camp, and this one is the favorite. Large lots, beautiful shallow lake, and even cutely decorated outhouses. A highlight was spending time observing a bald eagle.
