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.

Beautiful large, wooded sites. Well-managed by campground host. Clean outhouses. Quiet hours and other rules enforced. Beautiful hike around the lake and the beach is beautiful as well.

My site was very easy to get my trailer into with a half circle way as several of the sites also had. No trees to tear at my trailer I had fairly good phone service. The water was close. I actually saw the camp host at this park out and about every morning and evening. This park was the best national forest park out of the 3 I stayed in this trip.

Very nice campground on the lake. If you use GPS be careful of the road named Monocle Lake - it is not the campground access.
Really pretty lake accesses from the loop.
Good driving distance to Sault Ste. Marie to see the locks.

Site #1 was huge - plenty room for our 35’ fifth wheel & longbed crewcab dually. Nice big roads inside campground to maneuver.
Couldn’t use our Starlink due to trees, but loved the trees & sound of birds. ATT worked with antenna.
Perfect location (Iroquois Lighthouse & Whitefish Point Lighthouse, Sault St Marie & locks, and Tahquamenon Falls.
Nice trails (please put signage at top of climb to Mission Hill - turn left)
However, the campground hosts told me they don’t like to deal with campers not following rules - someone had generator on past quiet hours & people booked sites & didn’t show up for days. Plus, their son-in-law blew his “train horn” on his truck even AFTER I complained.
Only one water spigot works to fill RV water tanks.
$20 a night for no water, no power, no sewer, no dump station, no bathhouse and no real water fill station.
