Lyman Lake Campsites

Always so relaxing

We were in site #5. It’s big, with a vault toilet right there and easy private access to the lake. It’s a beautiful lake with 10 sites scattered around the lake so each site is very private. This was absolutely our favorite camping experience in the UP. We prefer rustic and private surrounded in natural beauty. The drive does require quite a bit of dirt roads that are mostly well maintained with only a couple spots to be real careful. We saw people pulling their boats on that road, so it is not that bad. If you are looking for a Hiawatha National Forest experience, this is it.

Cell phone not likely to work. We have Starlink; there is a place between firepit & lake we set it up and it worked fine with no issues. However, the site is heavily shaded. We parked where we could get a couple hours of some direct sun for our solar system, but mostly it was spotty sun or straight shade. We have good battery capacity & managed our usage so we were fine. However, that mostly sunny spot required us to sacrifice by being a little unlevel. Wasn’t an issue, just part of the experience.

I am only giving poor review because we booked for the weekend the bad Canadian smoke was here. We were unable to go camping and I have been trying since last week to see if we could use the money I paid for another weekend as it was to dangerous to be out. There has been no way to contact anyone. We really wanna do another weekend and hopefully use the money paid for the weekend we couldn't go due to the severe smoke

Beautiful beach site.

Site 10 is a beautiful isolated site that was perfect for tent camping. Mosquitoes and flies were quite tolerable (July 3-5). The only downside was not having an outhouse nearby.

Very private site, up high from the lakeshore. The hill is quite steep with slippery pine needles, so use caution getting down to the lake. Pretty sunset and sunrise views through the trees. Plenty of space to park a camper. There is NO BATHROOM at this site. Also, the picnic table was missing/gone. You can see the other campsites across the lake and motor boats are permitted, so it can get a bit noisy depending on who is camping there and how loud they are. Some people don't realize how much sound carries across the water.

Love the site so nice to be able to spread out and not have somebody camping right next to you. Access to the lake is awesome.

Private large campgrounds, beautiful lakefront at site #6, rough road in but worth it.

Scenics included and Serene the campsite was absolutely gorgeous and I would highly recommend it to those who seek a secluded private getaway. Some things to note: driveway/ road access is very primitive and I wouldn't recommend doing it in a sedan/e any vehicle that has low ground clearance. The bugs are absolutely vicious and I would highly recommend bringing extra spray if not netting, and lastly I would highly advise you bring your own toilet paper. Apart from that, the site is absolutely great. Firing and picnic table included would definitely recommend and would likely stay there again

Very private and rustic. All you would want from a backwoods experience.
