Benton Lake Campground Benton Lake is a 33-acre lake completely surrounded by National Forest land. The North Country National Scenic Trail is located off Pierce Drive, about 2 miles east of the campground entrance road. This site is usually quiet, but there are lots of activities, including fishing, swimming, picnicking and hiking. This campground is very popular during hunting season.
_ From White Cloud - _ Travel north on M-37 for 10.5 miles. Turn left and travel west on Pierce Dr. for 5 miles. The site is located on the right.
Absolutely love this campground! If your looking for a rustic campground with a amazing lake for fish or frog hunting then this is the place for you, its a very peaceful and quite place to relax and enjoy yourself.
Nice big and clean camp sites friendly host love to go camping at this place just could use a better swimming beach and play ground for little ones
Camp ground is beautiful well managed and maintained. Friendly staff and very helpful.
What a wonderful place to camp. Beautiful lake, campsites are well spread out.
Unfortunately they allow generators…
If you can’t go without power for a few days, why are you here??? No peace and quiet with a generator whirring, so some inconsiderate camper can sit and watch tv in their air conditioned RV, oblivious to the fact that they’re ruining everyone else’s time. There’s a reason it’s called rustic. Go to a state park where they have hookups if you don’t like nature!
Edit
Ok just took a walk to find out where the annoying generator was and guess what, it was the camp host! Unbelievable , the camp host ruining everyone’s peace and quiet

Went to the “campground managers” trailer to tell him I’ve been listening to his generator for 3 days and ask him if he could shut off his generator a little early on my last night here, and before I could even ask him he said” Quiet time is 10 o’clock.” I said, “ I know it is but ..” then he cut me off and said” I have until 10:00, I'm not shutting it off I'm running my air conditioner!” Then he said “ if you don’t like it go camp somewhere else!” So unfortunately I called him an expletive and called American Land and Liesure and filed a complaint.
Fell in love with this place. The campground is right on the lake I didn’t see any waterfront sites but the walk to the lake and docks are a short fun hike. The sites are spacious and the only downside are the generators. Large and rustic but you will have an out house and cell phone coverage. This was my first time here and will definitely be coming back to camp here. The lake is beautiful and the experience was great. .
