Birch Lake Campground

We had a great site with access to the lake, which was really nice for putting in our kayaks. The campground was really quiet until our second day when new campers arrived at the site across from us and ran their generator for hours on end. There were mostly tent campers in our loop, so it sort of wrecked the ambiance. They did turn it off at dusk, thankfully. The vault toilet bathrooms were the cleanest I have ever seen at a campground. It’s a well-maintained campground, and we’d consider camping there again someday.

We stayed in the group site. It was very spacious and private - in a separate loop away from all other campers. The site has it's own handicap accessible bathroom. This is the cleanest outhouse I have ever been in! There is running water powered by solar panels so you even have clean water and do not have to pack a bunch with you. The site is on a hill side so you do have to take a path down to the lake. It is not too steep though.
The cons of this site are:
The fire ring is off to the far side of the sites and there is only one fire ring to use. A couple more fire rings would give more options depending on which spur you are set up in.
The lake access is blocked by big rocks - if you were to launch a boat, you would have no where to land on shore. We maneuvered a canoe around the rocks and had to climb over huge rocks to get to and from shore.
No swimming or fishing from the site's shore due to rocks and weeds. Some of the other sites looked like they had better access. The only swimming area is the boat access.
All in all, we really liked the group site and would recommend it for it's privacy and cleanliness.

The cabin was wonderful. The bathrooms were not cleaned for two days this was very disappointing since in all the many years over 30 years of camping here this was the first year the bathrooms were dirty

We are very seasoned campers and we'd definitely rank the Birch Lake Campground as the best kept campground we have ever stayed. The campsites are regularly kept clean after people leave, the toilets were always clean and well stocked, and the entire area was free of garbage. The camp hosts were very friendly and attentive as well. We stayed midweek but it was still pretty busy and the sounds from nearby campers was minimal thanks to the spacing of the campground. Having a nice path to the lake was an extra bonus for enjoying shorefishing and sunrises/sunsets. The boat landing was in great condition and well kept as well with ample parking and a solid dock. And to polish it all off, the water from the pump was plentiful and tasty as can be. All in all a most wonderful experience at an awesome campground. Thanks!

Great place to camp. Easy access to the lake. Bathrooms were always clean and well stocked.

Tree branches hanging into the roads so much that an rv cannot pass thru without scatching sides, The dock at the boat ramp is a nice dock yet you could not launch and retrieve longer that a 10 foot boat safely. It just needs to be adjusted to the water height. Park ranger/law enforcement and park host make their rounds daily yet no one can fix it. I have 2 more reservations this summer and if nothing has changed they will be my last.

Beautiful lake, lots of fish and wildlife !

We had a good time. Camp hosts were very nice.

We accidentally showed up a day early and the park manager went out of his way and over and above to make sure to accommodate our error and make sure we felt at home. Thank you!

Quiet, peaceful experience on a beautiful fall weekend. The campsite is big enough, picnic table was good, and the site was clean. The toilets were as clean and smell-free as can be, with plenty of toilet paper and hand sanitizer. The motion lights in the toilets are appreciated! Also the water from the hand pump is very good. Maintenance staff Cyndi stopped by in the morning while making her rounds, and we had a very nice chat! She recommended a great local hike.
