Andrus Lake State Forest Campground

5-20-26, Andrus Lake State Campground Sunny, breezy, 42 degrees. Site 25, large level site, good fire ring right on the lake and plenty of space between either side, close to the privy. The privy is a pit toilet but very clean. There is potable water here, but no electricity no water hook up. Cellular was 3 bars 5G using T-Mobile, better service at the site vs in Paradise.

7 miles from Vermillion, great for history and rock hounding.

Part of the campground is flooded from melting snow and heavy rains. $20 per night for passport holders, but your firewood before you get to Paradise, 1/2 the price. $5-10ish.

This is a lovely place. My spot was right close to the beach. Absolutely beautiful. Took a short walk in the forest and saw a lot of wild mushrooms. Loved it. Definitely come back

Nice area on a small lake. Has boat launch and beach. Camp size are big and lots of privacy half on lake sore others are not but still good sites. I stayed 3 days and was very quite.be aware of recreational pass needed so if you don't have yr pass its extra $10 a day so it cost me $30 a day

Took the family to Tahquamenon Falls for the and was looking for somewhere free to stay with our state park pass. Just so happen to find this lil gem. Mosquitos are there but not miserable for on lake camping. I used red Offwoods mosquito & tick repellent and me and all our children were fine. Kids cought a few bass right off the dock. There is a Sandy beach for swimming. Vault toilet was pretty nasty but better then ones we seen at sleeping bear dunes and that's a national park. No issues with raccoons or other scavenger's. Fire ring provided. Came early on a Monday was easy to find a spot but I seen about half the spots were filled up by 9pm.

This is a great place to camp for a night or two if you are looking to do some peaceful fishing or explore the whitefish point area. There are no facilities at this campground and only a pump well for water. The closest town is Paradise which is very limited and only has a small general store. There is no cell service in most of the area.

It was nice! Just don't take Betsy Road to get there because you will get stuck. There are no signs to warn you! The sites at the campground were really secluded and perfect. We checked out the falls, whitefish pt, vermillion pt, two hearted river and the falls while we visited. Highly recommend all of them. Vermillion is also something we wouldn't recommend to someone not ready to drive in the sand though! We had the friend who pulled us out at Betsy and Sheldrake roads to take us out that way haha.

I was not expecting this campground to be so awesome. Loved how close to Whitefish point for the museum and rock hunting. Andrus Lake was beautiful and is perfect for canoeing and stand up paddle boarding. Got there on a Sunday night and scored a good site but the campground was pretty much fun by the end of the night which did surprise me. Most only stayed 1 night but was more crowed then I would have liked for a midweek stay. Drinking water was orange! Outhouses were filled with bugs and were not super clean. Bring your bug spray. Only gets the high review because I loved the location. Campground had a cute beach area that the kids loved to swim and build castles but did need lots of bug spray. Verizon cell service was great and had between 2-3 bars in most of the campground.

We stayed here on my first time to camp the UP. It had recently been restocked after a kill off of their fish. Fish were too small yet for fishing, however the kids had lots of fun swimming and playing in the clean sandy shore line of the beach. We haven’t been back. Worth checking out again, just haven’t had the chance

I stayed here on a dirt bike while doing a trip around the UP. The campground is very nice and has some spots on the water. Some sites are nicely wooded as well. There are vault toilets and a water pump available.

Down the road we were able to purchase firewood and had a nice fire in the fire rings.

I can't wait to go back to this area and stay at this campground again.
