About Camp Seven Lake Campground

Overview

Camp Seven Lake Campground neighbors the 60-acre Camp Seven Lake, which offers visitors a place to swim, boat and fish. The excellent location, beautiful setting and many available activities make the campground a perfect place to spend a day, the weekend or longer vacation.

Recreation

Boating is popular among visitors to the Camp Seven Lake area, and anglers looking to find that perfect spot on the lake. Smallmouth bass, bluegills and perch make up the most popular catches.

The 2-mile Van Winkle Lake loop trail leads hikers to a spectacular paper birch stand overlooking quiet Van Winkle Lake. A variety of waterfowl and wetland wildlife can be spotted along the trail. For a more relaxing stroll, the beach at Camp Seven Lake boasts a paved walking trail.

Facilities

The campground offers multiple accessible single-family campsites, available for tent and RV camping. For the most part, each site is shaded and private and some are right on the lake. A few sites are available on a first-come, first-served basis.

Each site is equipped with tables and campfire rings; only a few have grills. Accessible vault toilets and drinking water are provided. A group picnic area can accommodate up to 25 people and offers tables, a campfire circle and a grill.

Natural Features

The campground is adjacent to Camp Seven Lake, which is situated in the lower third of the Hiawatha National Forest, in Michigan's Upper Peninsula. The area is home to many bodies of water and plentiful mixed hardwood forests.

Nearby Attractions

The town of Garden Corners is about 20 miles from the campground, on the shores of Lake Michigan.

Notices from Recreation.gov

Two pets per site

No switching sites upon arrival

Please Note: One RV with tow vehicle per single site or one vehicle per tent site. Most sites can accommodate 1 extra vehicle that is not included with the reservation fee. Extra vehicle will be charged an $8 per night fee and collected at the campground if you did not pay for the Extra Vehicle Add On. Extra vehicles must fit on the parking spur at your site.

Reserved Sites will be held until checkout time (NOON) the day following your arrival date. Sites must be occupied by the checkout time of the second day to hold a reservation or the site will be forfeited and released to other guests.

Once your reservation start date has begun, neither the Recreation.gov Contact Center nor the campground manager will be able to modify your reservation.

Refunds: Refund requests made through www.recreation.gov will be charged a $10 processing fee. This fee is retained by the reservation service contractor along with the non-refundable reservation fee. All requests for the return of the non-refundable reservation fee and the cancellation fee will be declined by the campground concessionaire as they did not receive these fees (these are the fees retained by the reservation contractor, a different entity).

Don't move firewood: To limit the spread of invasive tree-killing pests, firewood from outside the area is not permitted. Some states have quarantines and may confiscate your firewood. Please help protect our forests from invasive species by obtaining your firewood at or near your camping destination and burning it on-site. Visit dontmovefirewood.org for more information.
