No showers

There is no mention of showers on the website (https://www.gogebicforestryandparks.com/lakegogebic)) and I guess that is because there isn't any.  The bathroom is an older stone building.  Nice but could use some updates.  There wasn't any locks on the stalls on the men's side.

The RV dump station is right next to the flush bathroom building.

The campsites were nice and open.  There was evidence of larger trees by our site but there were gone.  New seedlings have been planted.

There isn't any Wi-Fi or cell service in the campground.

Note: many of the other reviews are for Gogebic State Park. Previously this campground and the State Park had the same name in the app.

I’ve come back twice and would a third time

Pros: nice campground, right on the lake. Has a nice beach access (although keep in mind it may be closed in early summer due to swimmers itch). The staff was really friendly, and even suggested to switch to a better campsite for free. The dump/fill station is efficient and clean. Pretty affordable, and usually have availability. Close to a couple of different towns as well.

Cons: about 3/4th’s of the sites don’t really have much privacy between sites (if that’s a thing you look for). A lot of the sites are kinda uneven, and some are grass, some are sandy.. definitely do your research before you pick a site. No pull through sites, only back in. I really don’t have any complaints. Just things to note.

Beautiful lake spots

Very cold this time of year on this side of the lake. There are a lot of sites so the busy season might not be as pleasant since we were the only ones here during our stay but if you’re the type that socializes, this place would be great. Plots have some trees but not nearly as wooded and me and the hubby prefer, otherwise would have warned 5 stars.

Beautiful

This place is breathtaking. Taken care of lake with big camping sites. Only down side is the electric is stationed in the cross of for sites. So bring long extension cord. Clean swimming area along with plenty of wild life. Seen a few bald eagles fishing while there. There is a rental place north of the campgrounds to rent pontoons and the like.
