About this campground
Nestled on the shores of a pristine 100-acre lake, Corner Lake Campground invites families and outdoor enthusiasts to discover their perfect summer escape. Wake up to the gentle lapping of waves and spend your days casting lines into crystal-clear waters, exploring the lake by boat, or watching children splash in the dedicated shallow swimming area. This peaceful retreat within the Hiawatha National Forest offers the ideal balance of water recreation and forest tranquility, where memories are made from sunrise paddles to evening campfire stories.
Corner Lake Campground offers a primitive camping experience. It caters primarily to campers who are self-sufficient and seek minimal facilities.
Weather and SeasonsFrom mid-May through early September, Corner Lake transforms into a vibrant summer playground blessed with Michigan's finest warm-weather months. The campground opens its gates on May 15th just as spring gives way to summer, welcoming visitors through Labor Day weekend on September 5th. These prime months offer long, sun-filled days perfect for water activities and comfortable nights ideal for sleeping under the stars.
Natural Features and SceneryImmerse yourself in the breathtaking beauty of Michigan's Hiawatha National Forest, where Corner Lake sparkles like a hidden gem among towering deciduous trees. The campground's prime lakefront location showcases nature's artistry as maple, oak, and birch trees paint a living canvas that shifts from spring's tender greens to summer's lush canopy. Morning mists dance across the water's surface while native wildlife moves through the understory, creating an ever-changing tableau of wilderness wonder that captivates photographers and nature lovers alike.
Geological RegionCorner Lake Campground sits within the magnificent expanse of Hiawatha National Forest, where ancient geological forces carved out a spectacular 100-acre natural lake now surrounded by thriving deciduous forests. This remarkable northern Michigan landscape showcases the region's characteristic beauty—pristine waters cradled by rolling forestland, where the meeting of land and lake creates diverse ecosystems. The area exemplifies the Upper Peninsula's natural heritage, offering visitors an authentic taste of Michigan's unspoiled wilderness.
