Customer Reviews
Had an amazing time here out in Michigan's beautiful wonders. One campsite perfect for a bunch of friends and the second campsite was perfect for a family with kids. Both access to the clear lake. One more kid friendly then the other. Wonderful get away.
A nice spot to camp if campground camping is your thing. Plenty of outhouses, a dumpster, water from a pump well, boat launch, and picnic area. Garbage is still a problem at the beach which is idiotic. The nature trail though the woods is a great bonus and worth the hike!
What a gem of a campground. Lovely spot overlooking the lake. Very quiet but easy access off of Rt2. The second (or southern) loop has sites with a better view of the lake.
The age of infrastructure here makes this place a historic gem. Imp Lake Campground looks like what you might imagine a national forest campground looking like in the 1990’s. The vault toilets appear to be 40+ years old. Picnic tables are the vintage all-wood variety that got replaced across most Midwest national forests years ago. But infrastructure here has been well maintained; for the most part, things are still in good shape. The first and largest loop of this campground is open only during summer and early fall; the second loop is open year-round. There’s some question as to whether fees are required during the seasons when no drinking water is provided. Two iconic hand pumps provide drinking water, one in each loop. As of mid May neither one was in service for the season yet. T
This is a rustic campground. Amenities are outhouse and water pump. Garbage cans. The scenery can't be beat. Very serene.
