Island Lake Campground Island Lake Campground is a popular campground and picnic area featuring a swimming beach, marked with buoys, on the 58-acre lake. Island Lake is a small, sheltered lake. The forest around the campground is mixed hardwoods with many wildlife and waterfowl viewing opportunites. Island Lake and the surrounding landscape are the result of glacial retreat.

From Rose City, MI, take State Rt. 33 south 6 miles to campground sign. Turn left onto County Rt. 486 and proceed 0.8 miles to campground.
Peaceful, quiet getaway. Campsites are spread out. Not too far from Munising. Big campsites with a nice flat space, large picnic table, and nice fire pit with a grate for cooking.
We love this campground! Right on a little lake and very secluded. Plus, the nicest pit toilet in the UP.
A beautiful spot for car/tent camping while pulling a small boat. Clear evidence of lively animal activity all around (my favorite are the timbered trees). Everybody was quiet and respectful in not-quite-dispersed lots. Not quite full privacy between lots but comfortable enough. Spot had a fire ring, a flat area large enough for a "6+ person" tent. Our lot was far enough away from the vault toilet and dumpster to be comfortable, while close enough a night bathroom run won't bother you. Really peaceful spot, will stop in the area again!
Nice secluded campground from the main tourism hustle and bustle of Pictured Rocks National Lakeshore. I use this as my base camp for four nights. I was in site number two which is right next to the group site. I had easy access to the lake which was great for my kayaking. Bass fishing was fantastic and a few small bluegills too. The water was iron-stained as somebody had mentioned in a prior review see the picture for that. Otherwise every site was well maintained and had plenty of space and a fire pit/cooking grate and a picnic table.
Stayed here because of the short jaunt to Pictured Rocks National Lakeshore. Standard campsite with good sized outhouse close by and near a beautiful little lake. Only complaint is due to inconsiderate campers going against posted sign by running their generator all night.
