Lake Perrault, near the heart of Michigan, is a laid-back spot perfect for those who enjoy a bit of solitude and natural beauty. This location offers a peaceful atmosphere with a nice overlook of the lake, making it ideal for tent camping and enjoying the great outdoors.

The area features a few designated spots with fire pits, allowing campers to gather around a cozy fire after a day of exploring. Visitors have noted that the road leading in can be rough, but taking it slow makes the journey manageable. As one camper mentioned, “The road in is AWFUL. But slow driving is the cure for that.” 

For those who love wildlife, the sounds of nature at night add to the experience, with interesting animal calls echoing through the trees. While there’s no drinking water or restrooms, the tranquility and scenic views more than make up for it. Campers have enjoyed the peacefulness, with one stating, “It was really nice and peaceful overnight.”

Quick overnight 

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.

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.

Idyllic camping spot.

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
