Little Beaver Lake Campground

Little Beaver Lake Campground in Shingleton, Michigan, offers an intimate retreat for campers seeking tranquility amidst the dramatic landscapes of Pictured Rocks National Lakeshore. With just eight rustic sites tucked alongside the serene Little Beaver Lake, this campground is ideal for those searching for solitude, access to pristine waters, and trail connections to some of the most breathtaking spots in Michigan's Upper Peninsula.

The campground’s simple facilities include picnic tables, fire rings, a hand pump for drinking water, and clean pit toilets, fostering a back-to-basics camping experience. One of its standout features is the on-site trail system, including a 1-mile interpretive loop and a 1.5-mile path leading to Lake Superior’s iconic beaches and cliffs. Adventurers will appreciate the proximity to the North Country Trail, which threads through the park for nearly 43 miles. The small boat ramp allows for electric motor boating, kayaking, or paddling on Little Beaver and Beaver Lakes within the quiet confines of the Beaver Basin Wilderness.

Located 20 miles northeast of Munising and a short drive from Miners Castle and other Pictured Rocks highlights, Little Beaver Lake Campground provides easy access to stunning sandstone cliffs, waterfalls, and extensive hiking opportunities. However, the narrow, winding access road and compact sites make this destination better suited for tents and small trailers rather than large RVs. For those seeking a secluded, nature-immersive camping experience, this picturesque lakeside haven offers an unforgettable getaway.
