Bates Township Park operates a small campground adjacent to its day-use area and boat launch near Iron River. The camping section features grass and gravel sites with a noticeable slope toward the lake, which may limit tent placement options during busier periods. Campers share restroom facilities with day-use visitors and boaters.
The park provides drinking water and shower access, with sites positioned close to the water. Recent visitors report quiet conditions and responsive hosts, particularly during weeknight stays when the camping area sees minimal use. The sloped terrain requires some site selection consideration for tent campers seeking level ground.
