Otsego Lake State Park Campground

We visited in mid-October. The campground was fairly empty. One complaint we had was that most of the electrical outlets are shared between 2 or 3 sites. The location of the connection point for our site 75 is on the left side of site 77 and our cable could not reach. (See photo). The other issue is that the campground is very close to the main road and you can hear the traffic. Otsego Lake is a pretty big lake and there is a beach area and even a dog beach section. There is a playground area that also has a small baseball field. There are two water fill stations as you enter the park, which is a good idea (also water and two dump stations on the exit side).

Visited Otsego Lake SP during May and the gnats were relentless. Literally millions by our tent and fire. It was cold so didn’t get to check out the lake but the bathrooms are horribly outdated. This park needs a face lift asap. If you’re going to stay here. Go for site 63 or 64. Gives you lake access

We bailed out early on our UP vacation, and needed a place to stay - this SP won.  Based on the map, we expected the camping equivalent of an old Motel 6:  that's what we got.  We stayed in the far north loop, site 53.  Nothing on this side of the park loop road is even remotely level.  Power is a single outlet station per 2 campsites, ours was on the left (passenger) side of our camper.  We had to practically park in the site next to us as our power cord is not infinitely long.  Sites are really close together.  The park was pretty packed (trailer+3 cars in many sites - wha???), and made for difficult driving on the road.  The shower house/bathroom was clean, but really old - lots of chipped tiles, janky showers, poor lighting.  Beach area on the North Loop was also less than spectacular.  Again, this was just a place for us to stay a single night, and it served that purpose well.  Would not go back again, unless I was in the same situation.
