Managed by the Michigan Department of Natural Resources, this state park campground operates from late April through early October with sites ranging from $30-34 per night. The campground divides into three distinct sections—two older areas with mostly electric-only sites and a newer section featuring gravel pads with full hookups for RVs up to 50 feet.
Sites pack together fairly tightly, particularly in the older sections where many lack defined camping pads. The newer full-hookup area offers more structured sites but lacks dedicated restroom facilities, requiring campers to use facilities in the other sections. Water levels fluctuate seasonally, with Deb M. noting that "some sites have standing water" during wetter periods when the water table rises.
Direct lake access draws many visitors, especially boaters who can anchor within view of their campsite. A small pier extends into the water for fishing, and Rino S. reports that "fishing off the inlet and Jetties were good." The on-site camp store stocks essentials plus pizza and ice cream. Geese frequent the waterfront areas, particularly around canal-side sites, leaving droppings that require attention.
Cell service performs adequately for both AT&T and T-Mobile users. The campground fills regularly during peak season, though noise levels remain manageable even when full. Seasonal insects including gnats and fish flies can be problematic during certain periods. Reservations are available and recommended for waterfront sites, which claim quickly.
For those seeking additional options beyond the park, campgrounds near Mullett Lake provide alternatives in the surrounding region. The combination of water access, full services, and varied site types makes this a functional base for exploring northern Michigan's lakes.
