Camp Seven Lake Campground

CAMP SEVEN LAKE CAMPGROUND

Part of Hiawatha National Forest

Overview

Camp Seven Lake Campground neighbors the 60-acre Camp Seven Lake, which offers visitors a place to swim, boat and fish. The excellent location, beautiful setting and many available activities make the campground a perfect place to spend a day, the weekend or longer vacation.

Facilities

The campground offers multiple accessible single-family campsites, available for tent and RV camping. For the most part, each site is shaded and private and some are right on the lake. A few sites are available on a first-come, first-served basis.

Each site is equipped with tables and campfire rings; only a few have grills. Accessible vault toilets and drinking water are provided. A group picnic area can accommodate up to 25 people and offers tables, a campfire circle and a grill.

Natural Features

The campground is adjacent to Camp Seven Lake, which is situated in the lower third of the Hiawatha National Forest, in Michigan's Upper Peninsula. The area is home to many bodies of water and plentiful mixed hardwood forests.

Recreation

Boating is popular among visitors to the Camp Seven Lake area, and anglers looking to find that perfect spot on the lake. Smallmouth bass, bluegills and perch make up the most popular catches.

The 2-mile Van Winkle Lake loop trail leads hikers to a spectacular paper birch stand overlooking quiet Van Winkle Lake. A variety of waterfowl and wetland wildlife can be spotted along the trail. For a more relaxing stroll, the beach at Camp Seven Lake boasts a paved walking trail.

Nearby Attractions

The town of Garden Corners is about 20 miles from the campground, on the shores of Lake Michigan.
