About
Colwell Lake Campground is located on Michigan's Upper Peninsula in the Hiawatha National Forest, situated on the eastern shore of the scenic 145-acre Colwell Lake. The campground accommodates tent campers, RVs, and groups with 40 sites including standard non-electric sites, electric hookup sites, two lakeside walk-to tent sites, and a group site for up to 24 people. Each site features a campfire ring, lantern post, and tent pad. Recreation opportunities abound with an excellent sandy swimming beach, boat ramp with launching pier, and an accessible fishing pier. Anglers can pursue largemouth bass, northern pike, crappie, pumpkinseed sunfish, perch, and bluegill. A leisurely 2-mile trail offers hiking and snowshoeing through the mixed deciduous and conifer forest. The facility was renovated in 1993 to meet ADA guidelines.
