Hiawatha National Forest manages this drive-in dispersed site near Steuben Lake in Michigan's Upper Peninsula, where forested terrain sits close to the water's edge. No pets are permitted. The site has no formal amenities, so campers should arrive self-sufficient with water, food, and waste removal supplies. Nearby alternatives include Steuben Lake Campsites — Hiawatha National Forest and East Lake Campsites — Hiawatha National Forest, both within a couple of miles and offering more developed options if dispersed camping proves too rustic for your group.
Description
There are two primitive campsites located on the 151 acre Steuben Lake. There is no water available at this site. There is good swimming at both sites, but because of the hill at site #2, the beach area is difficult to see from the campsite. There is a good boat access located in the northwest corner of Steuben Lake, along Forest Road 2662. This access can accommodate most fishing boats and trailers. Steuben Lake has been stocked with walleye and has supporting populations of northern pike, largemouth bass, bluegill and perch.
