Overall Rating

Fantastic. Close to highway 2, free, at least for now, planned pads, great for RV or tent. Lots of firewood in brush piles they encourage you to burn. Nice fire pits with cast iron groups to cook on. Lots of friendly people here too fish. I was just an overnight stop.

They had just opened up on July 24 and it was free because of all the trees down in the park we were asked to burn all the wood we could to help clean up the park. Water and dump available at the Forest Park near Iron River.

“Quiet national forest campground ”

Overall Rating

One of our favorite campgrounds in Michigan’s UP. Blue ribbon trout streams nearby. The campground itself is rustic, some of the sites on the lake side are pretty slanted. Sometimes there is a campground host - very friendly couple. We make it here at least once a year.

“Peaceful Lake”

Overall Rating

What a great place, we paddled around, swam (no leaches!!!), watch an eagle grab a fish. There were lots of mosquitoes though.

There are 2 pit toilets, a boat launch, 2 pull through sites and then back-ins. We have a 34’ class A and we didn’t have any issues backing in, large and easy to navigate.
