Lake Gogebic State Park

What sets Lake Gogebic State Park Campground apart is its rare combination of lakefront tranquility, expansive wooded surroundings, and direct access to Michigan’s largest inland lake. Located along nearly a mile of pristine shoreline within the Ottawa National Forest, this campground is a premier destination for water enthusiasts, wildlife lovers, and families seeking a serene outdoor retreat. With a mix of lakefront and forested campsites, it offers campers the ideal balance of privacy, scenery, and recreation.

The 360-acre park features 127 campsites, including lakefront options, semi-modern sites, and pull-through spots suitable for RVs. Modern amenities, such as flush toilets, hot showers, electric hookups (20-30 amp), and a sanitation station, ensure a comfortable stay. A sandy beach invites swimming and sunbathing, while a paved boat launch is perfect for exploring the lake by kayak, canoe, or motorboat. Anglers can enjoy excellent fishing opportunities, and a two-mile forest trail offers a chance to immerse in the park’s serene backcountry. Families will appreciate the playground and picnic pavilions, making it a versatile setting for day trips, weekend getaways, or extended vacations.

Located on the west shore of Lake Gogebic, this campground’s central position makes it a fantastic hub for exploring the Western Upper Peninsula. Within a 30-minute drive are additional attractions such as waterfalls, hiking trails, and scenic vistas, rounding out the park as an ideal destination for nature-based adventures.
