Andrus Lake State Forest Campground
Andrus Lake State Forest Campground, near Paradise, Michigan, is a fantastic spot for those looking to unwind in nature. With spacious sites that offer a good amount of privacy, you can enjoy the tranquility of camping by a small lake, complete with a boat launch and a sandy beach for swimming.
This campground is perfect for families and friends who want to fish, swim, or just relax by the water. Visitors have noted that the fishing can be a bit hit or miss, but the kids will have a blast swimming and playing on the beach. Just be prepared for some mosquitoes, especially at dusk—bring your bug spray and maybe a smoky fire to keep them at bay.
If you’re up for some exploration, you’re not far from Tahquamenon Falls and Whitefish Point, both of which offer stunning scenery and outdoor activities. The campground is pet-friendly, so feel free to bring your furry friends along for the adventure. Just remember, you’ll need a recreation passport to camp here, so plan ahead to avoid any surprises.
