The sparkling Marion Lake offers breathtaking and exciting camping for your next family trip. Live it up on the water with your jet skis or wake board, or tone down the pace with a full day of fishing. The Marion Lake Group Site is an ideal way to spend time with friends and family for all the water activities you can imagine. Marion Lake is in the Ottawa National Forest, a protected area in the Western Upper Peninsula of Michigan. It stretches from the Lake Superior shoreline to the Wisconsin border, and attracts deer and many types of migrating birds. Recreation A swim beach is adjacent to the group site. Facilities A convenient path leads to the lake and boat launch. Water is not available on-site, but is a short walk away. Natural Features The campground is in a large, grassy field surrounded by hemlock and hardwood trees with an opening to Marion Lake. The altitude is 1,627 feet, with lightly rolling hills stretched between the many other lakes in the area. Nearby Attractions Hiking enthusiasts will find scenic trails throughout the Sylvania Wilderness area, a region to the west with old-growth forests and 34 named lakes. On the way, stop by the Ottawa Visitor Center in Watersmeet for some interesting exhibits. ADA Access: N

Travel approximately 1.5 miles north and then turn right onto Forest Road 3985. Travel until road makes a Y, where a location map is located there to show you the layout of the campground.
Our family has been coming here for about 16 years now. A nice place to turn off the daily life and relax in nature.
My family has been having our family reunion every year for over forty years. We look forward to having many more to come.
Beautiful place to camp. Stairs from sites to the lake and a nice area to tie your boat up at each site. Will definitely go back again.
