Our Take
What makes CAMP SEVEN LAKE CAMPGROUND special
Sitting on the forested shore of a 60-acre glacial lake in Michigan's Upper Peninsula, Camp Seven Lake Campground is the kind of place where summer days unfold at a beautifully unhurried pace. Located within the Hiawatha National Forest near Munising, this campground puts you steps away from calm, clear water perfect for swimming, canoeing, and fishing for bass and panfish. The lake itself is the main attraction. A sandy swimming area welcomes families, and a boat launch accommodates canoes, kayaks, and small motorized boats. Anglers will appreciate the productive warm-water fishery, while children tend to spend hours exploring the shoreline and skipping stones. The surrounding hardwood and conifer forest provides a lush green backdrop and excellent bird watching opportunities throughout the season. Camp Seven Lake offers around 40 sites spread through a mix of shaded and semi-open settings, with options for both tents and RVs. Amenities include vault toilets, potable water, picnic tables, and fire rings. A short drive brings you to the town of Munising, gateway to Pictured Rocks National Lakeshore, where dramatic sandstone cliffs, waterfalls, and Lake Superior beaches await exploration. Reservations are a smart idea for July and August weekends. The campground typically operates from mid-May through late September, with midsummer offering the warmest lake temperatures and the longest days for enjoying the water.
