Wading, kayaking, and fishing draw campers to Milakokia Lake, where most sites sit directly on the water and the lake has a boat launch for motorized use. The water runs shallow near shore, with a clay-like sandy bottom that stays soft underfoot, making it better for wading than swimming. Bug pressure runs high, so mosquito protection is essential. The privy stays reasonably clean, and sites provide good tree cover and privacy. RVs up to 40 feet can access the campground, though some sites are uneven and may challenge larger rigs. South Manistique Lake State Forest Campground is another state forest option in the area worth considering. Fees run $13 per night or less, with first-come, self-registration.
