Monocle Lake campground offers a beautiful, peaceful setting with spacious, private sites and clean facilities, making it a favored choice for campers. Many guests appreciated the friendly camp hosts and enjoyed activities like hiking to scenic overlooks and kayaking on the lake. While some noted the lack of modern conveniences and issues with generator use, the overall experience is highly recommended for those seeking a rustic camping experience.

This is a very nice , well maintained campground. The lake is small and swim able. You can use a powerboat but they weren't too much of a nuisance. The area is heavily forested so there is not to much sun. The main road along the Lake Superior shore is wide enough and lightly traveled enough that it would be good biking,

Great campground!!!!! Loved the location (15 minutes West of Sault Ste Marie and about 1 hour from Whitefish Point. The campground has different hosts every year and, the hosts this year, Larry and his wife, were AMAZING and some of the nicest people I have ever met. Coming around and asking if I needed help, Larry even helped me put up my tent and build a fire! The sites are nice and separated and the campground is super quiet. I barely saw a soul. It is rustic with just pit toilets, but, if you're fine with it, it's no big deal. Monocle Lake itself is beautiful and quiet as well. Overall, amazing stay! Loved it so much!

This is a really nice park and, while the restroom facilities are a little older than many in the southern part of the state, they were clean and well-kept. The ranger at the registration booth was very courteous and helpful. The bike trail that runs right beside the park was very handy and we enjoyed a pleasant ride. We were on our way to the UP and this was a great stopping point on the way.
