Swimming, fishing, and lakeside camping are the main draws at Lucky Lake Campground and Outdoor Center in Montague, Michigan. The lake has sandbars, floating platforms, and catch-and-release fishing that requires no license, making it a workable destination for anglers and swimmers alike. Sites sit directly on the water, with enough space to position an RV to face the lake and room between neighbors for reasonable privacy. Shade trees are available throughout, and some spots let dogs reach the shoreline to wade.
Timing matters here. The campground hosts an Electric Festival earlier in the season, which draws crowds, but later in summer the grounds thin out considerably. Highway noise is a real factor for some sites, though campers who stay on the far side of the lake report it fades into the background. Cell service gets mixed marks in reviews. At night, string lights illuminate the trails and a wooden playground large enough for adults, which Sarah S. calls her favorite feature.
The bathhouse setup warrants a heads-up: showers are outdoor units separated by curtains rather than enclosed stalls, though reviewers consistently note the water runs genuinely hot. Port-a-potties handle toilet facilities. Full hookups including electric, water, and sewer accommodate RVs up to 50 feet, and a dump station is on site. Nearby options include Double JJ Resort to the northeast and Karner Blue Campground a few miles southeast for those comparing campsites around Shelby. Book after the festival ends for the quietest experience.
Description
Come experience camping the way it should be, in a natural environment where you may see a coyote, a pair of American Bald Eagles fishing in the lake, a bobcat stalking a rabbit or just a pair of whitetail deer drinking along the side of the lake. We have 180 acres of woods and water with miles of trails to roam at your leisure. In the middle of our campground is our private 40 acre sand bottom Lucky Lake with over a mile of shoreline and the most unique sandbar in the center that is a gathering spot for kids of all ages.
We have large, flat RV sites, Pull-Thru's, tent and group sites available. A limited number of water and 50/30/20 amp electric sites, waterfront 30/20 amp electric sites, 2 separate 5 and 8 acre group sites to meet the needs of one family or the largest group outing. Nearly 100 of our sites are directly on the waterfront with swimming and fishing at your very door step. Walk or bike the miles of scenic nature trails on our property -- experience camping all over again!
EZ off and EZ On to US-31 at the Rothbury / Winston Rd., exit #136. Our entrance is just a couple hundred yards to the east.
