Morgan Lake Campground and Group Site

Nice quiet and peaceful campground. Good bass fishing. Would like to see a legal slot size for bass to keep under 14 inches. Will be back. Mosquitoes were bad. Cell phone service very poor.

We did not have a good time. It was partially the weather’s fault. It was hot, sunny and humid (87 and 75% humidity) when we went. Bugs were real bad, lots of horseflies and mosquitos. Almost no wind to keep them away. The lake is good for kayaking but not for swimming, lots of algae and bugs. The area was pretty and scenic but the forest didn’t feel… authentic.

Some national forests are like small national parks — Flathead, Hiawatha, Custer Gallatin to name a few. Some are a lot more dominated by private land and logging. This was one of the latter. So it didn’t really feel to us like an adventure

Would not recommend anything in this area. If you’re considering it, just go to UP Michigan. We liked that far better

Also would not recommend apostle islands unless you do your research. Ferry only runs twice a week, private taxis are expensive. We had to cancel that part of our trip because it was a logistical nightmare. Also $35 cancelation fee

Beautiful and quiet campsite. We were very impressed when an DNR employee came to let us know bad weather was coming. Everything very clean. We loved it.

Beautiful lake that was perfect for paddle boarding. Nice site that was semi-private, we were able to see campers on both sides. Very clean pit toilet. Nice to have a dumpster & recycling too.

If you are looking for a quiet, beautiful, wooded campground on a clear, clean lake this is for you. The amenities are limited, pit toilets and a hand pump for water so I would come prepared with bottled water and plan to cook over the open fire.

The group site was great. Spacious & private for our family camping trip. Nice amount of room for two rv's. Like the trails down to the beach and lake. Nice to have the water pump on site and the toilet also! Good cell phone reception also.

Our site was right on the shore, a beautiful view and easy access for fishing. There was plenty of undergrowth between sites, and all were shady. Mostly quiet campers, as it is 8 miles of very winding and wooded gravel road in either direction. Then there is almost nothing there. You can get ice, convenience store things, but no gas for your vehicle. Be prepared for that at the last town. Vault toilets are kept clean, with plenty of toilet paper. Water has a lot of iron, and sediment. So, you will need to let it settle before drinking, otherwise it is good.

Campsite is very nice as a primitive site. We tented it and the site was relatively level. Didn’t fish too much, but did catch a couple of small bass, 10” - 12”. Keep in mind it was shore fishing. But other reports I read stated the lake is not great for trophy fish. Beautiful lake surrounded by thick timber. Wildlife in camp was minimal, unless you count mosquitoes. The highlight for me was hearing the Loons calling toward the evening hours. Sites can be kind of close together, so keep in mind not everybody respects the unwritten peace and quiet rule. Crying babies is certainly acceptable, but adults disagreeing on various topics of domestic issues should understand nobody is interested in hearing it.(sorry for the rant). All in all, we would return if opportunities arise.

One of our favorite campgrounds. Quiet and a beautiful lake.

Great group campsite! Lots of space and privacy. (The ATVs driving through and using the site's bathroom was, while infrequent, annoying, though.) We fit in 3 tents and a screen tent. Nice and quiet. The lake was just down a path. Beach area was clean and water was perfect for the kids. Would go again!
