Otter Lake Campground is located on 92-acres of land in the Hiawatha National Forest near Munising and minutes away from the Pictured Rocks National Lakeshore. The campground has a beautiful beach area with serene views of Otter Lake and has direct access to the off-road trail system. The family-friendly campground offers full hookup and rustic sites.
The campground is under new ownership as of December 2020. Nick and Ellen Oppenheim, along with their son, recently moved to the Munising area to pursue an adventurous lifestyle in the great outdoors.
“After many years working as an electrician and teacher, they decided to trade in their careers for an exciting new experience,” the Otter Lake Campground website states. “As avid campers themselves, they appreciate the outdoors, and the time camping allows family to spend together.”
Otter Lake Campground is open from April through October and has paddle boat, canoe, kayak, and rowboat rentals available on-site. There’s also a volleyball court, basketball, dog walking trail, and much more. Visit www.otterlakemichigan.com for more information.
Located just outside of Munising along H-58 near Pictured Rocks Golf Course, Pictured Rocks Cabins are just minutes away from sandy beaches, waterfalls, boat and kayak tours, and many other area attractions.
