Sand Lake Campground

US Forest Service · Michigan

Sand Lake Campground in Michigan. Ringed marker is this site; the other dots are the 534 public campsites we map in Michigan.

Sand Lake Campground is situated on the scenic shores of Sand Lake and provides a selection of sites shaded by a mixed hardwood forest. Just beyond the trees is a well-loved, sandy swimming beach. The campground is located 15 minutes from the Pine National Scenic River and several other lakes. The popular campground sits within the Huron-Manistee National Forests, far enough from town to let its natural splendor shine, but close enough for convenient access to gas and groceries.
