About AuTrain Lake Campground

AuTrain Lake Campground offers a serene escape where the whisper of pines mingles with the gentle lapping of lake waters, providing an authentic Upper Peninsula camping experience. This rustic retreat balances pristine natural beauty with basic amenities, appealing to those seeking a genuine outdoor adventure.

Situated on the southern shore of the expansive AuTrain Lake, the campground features 33 wooded sites nestled among towering pines and hardwoods. Each spacious site comes equipped with a fire ring and picnic table, allowing campers to immerse themselves in the tranquil forest setting. While amenities are simple, with vault toilets and drinking water spigots scattered throughout, the real draw is the immediate access to outdoor recreation.

Located in Michigan's Upper Peninsula, just 10 miles southwest of Munising, AuTrain Lake Campground serves as an ideal base for exploring the region's natural wonders. The 830-acre lake itself is a haven for water enthusiasts, offering excellent opportunities for fishing, boating, and swimming. For those preferring land-based activities, the two-mile Songbird Trail loops through diverse habitats, providing excellent birdwatching and wildlife viewing opportunities.

This campground is particularly well-suited for weekend getaways and extended vacations, allowing visitors to fully appreciate the area's natural rhythms. Whether casting a line for bass and perch, paddling along the scenic shoreline, or simply unwinding by the campfire, AuTrain Lake Campground epitomizes the quintessential northwoods camping experience.
