Chalk Hills Campground

Looking for a tranquil, rustic camping retreat? Chalk Hills Campground in Michigan’s Upper Peninsula offers the quintessential outdoor escape with its secluded sites, proximity to the Menominee River, and natural wooded beauty. Ideal for campers seeking a serene environment, this privately owned, 25-site campground combines essential conveniences like electric hookups with an off-the-grid ambiance.

Set on a single loop surrounded by trees, the sites are well-spaced and feature gravel pads, picnic tables, and fire rings. Although amenities are basic with clean pit toilets and a non-threaded water spigot, the charm lies in its simplicity. A small playground adds a family-friendly touch, while nearby attractions like fishing on the Menominee River and access to boat launches (within a few miles) enhance the experience. While swimming directly at the campground is prohibited due to river currents, sandy beaches at Shakey Lakes Park are a short drive away.

Located near Daggett, Michigan, and just off the Chalk Hills Dam, the campground is easily accessible yet feels remote. It’s a perfect destination for fishing trips, weekend getaways, or extended stays where you can unplug and enjoy the Upper Peninsula’s unspoiled scenery.
