Sunken Lake Park

How do you improve paradise? Well they found a way. It is happening now. Even with the improvements happening all around, it was a very nice stay. Plenty to do for all ages. Excellent. It's on the must see list for michigan as far as I am concerned.

Best place to camp in all of michigan. Fishing, camping, good people. I was worried to hear of the new park management because I just loved seeing the old guy that used to run the place, but the new kid is doing a great job! I hope to continue making family memories here. Thanks for the hospitality and a safe place to bring my kids.

I've been coming to this park since I was a child and my father has been coming to this park since he was a child. It has been the backdrop of many family memories. There is a swimming area and a shallow stream area. There are two main areas of the park. A large side with the bath house, front office/store, and a majority of the camper/tent plots. There is also a smaller group of plots on the opposite side of the camp (there is a road but also trails that lead from one side to the other. There is also a bridge that leads over the stream to bear island. There are a few primitive plots on the island for tent campers. The camp has a communal space between the bathhouse and office/store where they sometimes have live music. We got to enjoy some music and some lovely wooden bench swings during Labor Day weekend. The lake and the stars are beautiful here, and we have thoroughly enjoyed camping here. That said, it seems like they are in the process of improving some of the older amenities, as the showers were a little worse for wear during our stay, but the restrooms seemed fine for a camp of this age.

We have only visited for the day. My son loves to fish and has caught quite a few. The okay equipment is very old but I'm good condition. The bridge to bear Island is very picturesque.

Nice rustic campground with very friendly manager and camp host. Our route from the north took us down a gravel road, Maple Lane Road, it was unexpected, but the road was pretty smooth. If you go south another mile or so south on 65, Leer Road goes to the city of Long Rapids. The camp store was very well stocked when we were there. The camp manager was very friendly. The camp is a very rustic, county park on the edge of a large sinkhole lake. The sites all seem really spacious with good water pressure and new 50 amp service. Since we were there in September the camp was pretty empty and we took the best site in the campground, #24, right on the edge of the lake. The camp host was right across from us and he stopped over to make sure everything was OK.
Overall we really enjoyed Sunken Lake. It was very quiet and kept up well. We used the bathrooms and they were very clean. The eagles put on quite a show and the bugless nights made on stay very enjoyable and relaxing.
