About
Brevoort Lake Campground is a popular destination on the western shore of 4,233-acre Brevoort Lake in the southeastern portion of Michigan's Upper Peninsula. The campground stretches onto a peninsula that juts into the lake, dividing Boedne Bay from the rest of Brevoort Lake, and offers 70 tent and RV-friendly campsites. Many sites are waterfront locations surrounded by mature pine, hemlock, and oak trees with low shrubby vegetation, providing somewhat secluded camping experiences. The campground is known for its pristine sandy beaches where beach grass grows along the shore. Brevoort Lake is renowned for its fishing opportunities. In 1985, the Forest Service completed construction of a walleye spawning reef, creating excellent fishing for walleye, northern pike, smallmouth bass, perch, and other species. A boat launch is centrally located within the campground on Boedne Bay, providing easy access for motorized and non-motorized watercraft. Swimming is popular along the sandy beaches. Hiking enthusiasts can access several trails near the campground, including the Ridge Trail, Sand Dunes Cross Country Trail, and the North Country National Scenic Trail. The campground is located about 20 miles west of St. Ignace, which offers grocery and gas services and serves as a gateway to Mackinac Island via a short ferry ride. The campground operates first-come, first-served with no advance reservations.
