Shupac Lake State Forest Campground

2 ReviewsAdd Review
SUMMARY PRESENTED BYT-Mobile

Paddlers, anglers, and swimmers have direct access to Shupac Lake at this state forest campground in Grayling, Michigan, where more than 30 lakeside sites sit on a low bluff above the water, each with stairs or a trail leading down to the shore. Sites fill fast on summer weekends, with one reviewer arriving on a Saturday in July to find the campground roughly three-quarters full. Loons are a known presence on the lake. Cell coverage runs one to two bars of Verizon, potentially improved with a signal booster. Nearby, Jones Lake State Forest Campground provides a comparable state forest alternative in the same general corridor. Reservations are available and worth booking ahead for July and August visits.

Lakeside sites, busy campground

Typical state forest campground with picnic tables and fire ring, pit toilet, water hand pump. All sites are along the lake, most (all?) are on a small bluff above the lake with stairs or trail down to the shore. Arrived on a Saturday in July to find 75% full, but was able to get in. Pretty quiet for as busy as it was, woke up to the call of loons. 1 or 2 bars of Verizon with a booster.

Best place to camp.

I’ve camped here my whole life and everything about this state forest campground is on point. There’s 30+ spacious campsites all lake side! Multiple bathrooms along the way. Beach is clean and Sandy! And has tons of places to hike and explore. Definitely a great place to bring the family or just yourself!
