Summary
A small fee is required. Campers will find vault toilets, hand-pump water, fire rings, and picnic tables, but no hookups. RVs are welcome, though space may be limited. Set on a scenic, forested lakeside, the campground provides a peaceful, wildlife-rich atmosphere ideal for fishing, paddling, and birdwatching. Nearby, explore the Escanaba River State Forest and local trails. Best visited from late spring through early fall, it’s a quiet, off-the-beaten-path spot for those seeking a rustic Upper Peninsula camping experience. Dispersed camping is also allowed nearby.

Camping Essential Practices
Take all trash, food scraps, and gear back with you to keep campsites clean and protect wildlife.
Respect Wildlife
Observe animals from a distance, store food securely, and never feed wildlife to maintain natural behavior and safety.
Know Before You Go
Check weather, fire restrictions, trail conditions, and permit requirements to ensure a safe and well-planned trip.
Minimize Campfire Impact
Use established fire rings, keep fires small, fully extinguish them, or opt for a camp stove when fires are restricted.
Leave What You Find
Preserve natural and cultural features by avoiding removal of plants, rocks, artifacts, or other elements of the environment.
