Campground Overview

About Henry Lake Campground

What makes Henry Lake Campground stand out is its serene isolation within the towering pines of Michigan's Ottawa National Forest, offering a true escape for those seeking tranquil lakefront camping, fishing, and wildlife viewing. Located just 9 miles southwest of Marenisco, this single-loop campground features 7 well-spaced sites, screened by natural vegetation for privacy, and is perfectly suited for tents, trailers, and motorhomes.

Campers will appreciate the drive-in design, with amenities such as picnic tables, fire rings, and centralized hand-pumped water. A concrete boat ramp provides easy lake access, while an accessible fishing pier invites anglers to try their luck with Henry Lake's bass and bluegill. Vault toilets are conveniently placed both in the campground and near the boat ramp. Though rustic, the quiet surroundings, scenic beauty, and opportunities for fishing, kayaking, or simply relaxing make this an ideal spot for a short getaway or a peaceful weekend retreat.

Henry Lake Campground’s proximity to Ottawa National Forest ensures abundant opportunities for hiking, wildlife observation, and exploration of the area's natural beauty within a short drive. Marenisco, the closest community, provides a gateway to the campground while maintaining its allure as a remote and untouched destination.
