Gooseneck Lake Campsites

Isolated yet buzzing with natural activity, the Gooseneck Lake Campsites in the Hiawatha National Forest offer a rustic escape characterized by serene woodlands, lakeside tranquility, and abundant opportunities for outdoor recreation. With limited amenities like vault toilets and no potable water, these primitive sites emphasize self-sufficiency, while their lakeside positions invite swimming, fishing, and quiet enjoyment of Michigan’s Upper Peninsula wilderness.

Located approximately 30 minutes from Manistique, the campground consists of three dispersed sites spread across the 123-acre Gooseneck Lake, each offering unique features. Site 3, with its sandy bank and spacious layout, is ideal for families, boasting the best swimming access. Site 1 provides a secluded retreat for single families, while Site 4 accommodates larger groups with easier access for small trailers. Fishing enthusiasts will appreciate the lake’s healthy populations of walleye, bass, and northern pike, complemented by boating access near Site 1. Nearby, visitors can explore local hiking and biking trails or stock up on supplies at general stores within a short drive.

Perfect for weekend getaways or extended stays, Gooseneck Lake Campsites blend rustic charm with outdoor adventure, surrounded by the unparalleled beauty of Michigan’s Hiawatha National Forest.
