Indian Lake State Park Campground

About

Indian Lake State Park encompasses 567 acres along the shores of Indian Lake, Michigan's fourth-largest inland lake at 8,400 acres. Located five miles west of Manistique in the Upper Peninsula, the park offers excellent fishing for walleye, perch, northern pike, and bass. The West Shore campground sits in a forested setting on County Road 455, approximately four miles northwest of the main park entrance. The semi-modern West Shore campground features 72 sites with 20-amp electrical service. Amenities include vault toilets, drinking water via fountains and jug fillers, fire rings, and picnic tables at each site. The campground operates first-come, first-served from mid-June through Labor Day, though shoulder season availability varies. The park's south unit modern campground, which typically offers 145 sites with 20/30/50-amp service, flush restrooms, showers, and mini cabins, is currently closed for major renovations including construction of a new toilet and shower building. The sanitation station and beach shelter are also closed. The south campground is expected to reopen in July 2026.
