We spent 4 nights at Otter Lake while sightseeing the Pictured Rocks National Park. It was a nice quiet place, the owners went out of their way to welcome us. The bathrooms and showers were very clean. The location is about 10 minutes from town, but that wasn't a problem. It's a great place to spike out from or stay there the whole weekend. The lake seemed very nice even though we didn't use it.
I would definitely stay here again.
We absolutely loved this campground. We stayed in the cabins and they were very clean. The lake is beautiful and the owners are very friendly. Such a peaceful place. We can't wait to return!
What a nice campground, with friendly owners on a beautiful small lake. We only stayed overnight, but enjoyed our experience. The sites along the back are wooded and private, and nicely spaced. The bathrooms are updated with fabulous showers, esp for a campground. The only thing to be aware of is that there is no cell service, (hey - middle of the UP…) and the WiFi is somewhat spotty. It would be hard to be there for a longer stay, however the owners are trying hard to improve it. If we’re back in the area we would return.
The owners were quite accommodating. In the office late into the evening.
Nice clean park. Clean bathrooms, plenty of hot water! Was so nice to have a laundromat as well.
Would have been nice to have a more private area to dress in after shower.
I was uncomfortable trying to get dressed with young child and another adult sitting 2 foot of me.
