King Lake State Forest Campground

Awesome rustic campground off the beaten trail. It’s a good 6 mile drive on the single lane dirt road. We loved it!

Fantastic campground in the UP of Michigan. There are I believe 6 or 8 total sites and it is first come first serve. I arrived after dark on a Saturday night in mid September and luckily there was one spot available. It is right on King Lake. You drive about 5 miles or so down a one lane dirt road but it’s easily traversed with any vehicle. There is a boat ramp and the spaces are quite large and very private. It is quite primitive but each spot has a picnic table and fire pit. There is a vault toilet bathroom and water pump along with each site having its own trash receptacle. It’s super quiet and peaceful and secluded. 3 of the sites have a lake view but even though mine didn’t it was still a great spot in the woods.

Beautiful campground! 2 awesome campsites right on water, can park your boat at campsite! Great views!

Great simple campground. There are a couple beautiful sites on the water which makes it easy to get your kayaks in. Do not go the way Google tells you. S Tracy Creek Rd is not a real road unless you are in a fourwheeler. It is also blocked off a ways down it. Go hwy 41 / hwy 28 then turn on Kings lake road. It's a dirt road but it will take you there.

Table, fire ring, large sites. 1, 2, 3 are on the hill, 4 and up are closer or on the water. No attendant, pay the pipe. There is a $9 penalty for out-of-state campers on top of $15 for the site. Shame!!
