Lake Perrault

A good place to stop to and rest for a night. A couple of places for a campfire. Downfall is no privacy from other campers.

Great small lake for kayaking and canoeing or just sitting and watching loon and eagles. Lakeside or wooded. Nice!!! Find a place and setup.

Absolutely amazing spring fed lake! Free camping, not sure on the stay limit, a few locals park their campers here all summer. A couple lake front spots that are decently level for RVs/trailers, and many wooded tent sites. Mosquitoes are heavy in the woods but sparse next to the lake. Lots of people in and out to swim and fish but still a nice quiet spot. Easy to get into main area, slightly rocky terrain to get into the woods.

If arriving off-season and lucky enough to have it to yourself it would be a great location, but there is zero privacy otherwise. There were 3 different people/groups set-up, all of which looked to have been there for several weeks. The area in front of the lake is completely cleared and fairly large - if you don’t mind being out in the open and potentially siding directly with others you’ll probably be fine. I saw an additional 3 other vehicles drive in and proceed to exit, so it’s unlikely you’d find solitude here. You’re better off opting for a FR in Ottawa NF.

My fiancé and I (plus our dog) are doing a week of traveling out of our sprinter van through the UP. We stumbled upon this location through this app. This was a Monday evening and every site was being used or people just had stuff at the sites (not sure if anyone was actually staying at the spots) We were having an enjoyable time but then didn’t have a good interaction with one of the other campers. It was a problem to play fetch with our dog not being on a leash. Our dog was staying in our camp and playing fetch away from others. So we decided to pack up camp due to the interaction. Didn’t feel like any good was going to happen the rest of the night after that.

Few fire pits and no bathroom, worked well for a night. Believe we left a small stuffed squirrel there, if it’s found let me know, it’s a sort of family heirloom.

Very nice n open for pulling in and doing dispersed camping, nice overview of the lake from the hill , quite too, fire pit made of rocks

I spent an overnight in this beautiful place. I was all alone in the campground. A few people drove down to the water while I was there. The place is a "lovers lane" of sorts. 

The road in is AWFUL. But slow driving is the cure for that. 

There are a few spots suitable for a small travel trailer, but most of them are better suited to tents.

Nice small lake, easy access from the main road. Road to the lake isn’t paved and there are huge potholes so go slow. A couple of the campers looked like they’re long-termers, but there was still plenty of room. It’s a dispersed area with some sites with fire pits that are cleared and open for camping, maybe about 6 spots or so. A couple of the spots are right down at the water. 

There’s also a little trail by the water but the mosquitoes were too bad for me to try and hike it. Though this is definitely a local hangout, with trucks coming in and out almost all day and late into the night, everyone was respectful and quiet, and it was really nice and peaceful overnight. 

There was a little road noise but not bad at all. Some interesting animal calls overnight as well. There was good cell reception for Verizon and ATT.

Small lake with some camping spots.
