Kneff Lake Campground

About

Kneff Lake Campground is located on the western edge of the Mio Ranger District in the Huron-Manistee National Forests, a short drive east of Grayling. The 27 campsites ring a scenic 20-acre lake shared among federal, state, and private ownership. Sites 1-18 have crushed stone parking pads while sites 19-27 feature asphalt pads. Site 9 is designated tent-only. Each site includes a picnic table, campfire ring, and lantern post. The campground provides vault toilets and potable water from hand-pump wells. Trash collection is available. The embedded day use area features an ADA-accessible ramp to the beach and swimming area, along with picnic tables and grills. Kneff Lake is designated as a trout lake and stocked with rainbow trout in spring; anglers also catch perch. Maximum lake depth is 40 feet. Non-motorized boats such as canoes and kayaks can be carried in. The surrounding forest is predominantly oak and pine. A campground host is on-site during the operating season. Standard developed-area rules apply, including quiet hours and prohibitions on fireworks and ORVs within the campground.
