GuideRelaxing
40 first come first serve rustic sites. No problem getting smaller trailers back there. None of the sites are located on the water. Lake is small but beautiful. Great for swimming and kayaking.

GuideGreat Getaway in Elk Country
The campground is right on a small but very pretty lake in the middle of Michigan’s elk country. Many of the sites offer a good deal of privacy and the bathrooms are placed well throughout the campground.
As others have said, it’s hard to beat $15 a night at a campground as nice and well located as this. We will be back!
LegendNice sites but not too close to the lake
Nice large state forest campground with plenty of space and sites. Each site includes a picnic table and fire ring. Shared rustic toilets and hand pump for water are also available. The sites are large but only a few are close to the lake and even those require taking a trail down to the water. The lake is beautiful and clear, perfect for a paddle or morning swim.
