Very nice clean campground! Nice large campsites and you can barely see your neighbors. Only drawback was the camp host runs a very loud generator sometimes.

@RebeccaD857325 · Camped on Jun 12, 2025 at Campsite #41

This was a beautiful campground and lake! A few tips: dont rely on your phone for accurate directions to the campground, there is no water with the exception of foot washing stations, and there is no firewood available on site. So be prepared and you will have a wonderful time!

Site Number 4a was very nice! Not quite as private as it looked online, since it is next to the camp host. Beautiful woods behind the site. It backs up to a lake, with it's own little beach. Plenty of flat space for our little camper and a tent. Clean, very well maintained nice fire pit and picnic table. Mountain Bike trails are good for all skill levels, very backcountry feel with many views of lakes. Verizon Cel service was almost non-existent, but, it's Camping right.? :)

This is a great campground. We've been going here for years & the last 2 have been the best ever!! The hosts are amazing! The whole campground looks awesome....the cleanest bathrooms & sites we've ever seen. I hope you value these employees & keep them coming back. They make the whole experience so enjoyable.

@KimO7398906 · Camped on Aug 1, 2024 at Campsite #10

My family had a great time at Pete's Lake again this year! We have made this a yearly event.

@GuadalupeD4398 · Camped on Jul 28, 2024 at Campsite #27

Only thing I would suggest is adding a shelf or something in the bathroom to put stuff down especially at night like flashlight, wipes, clothes, etc especially for the ladies. Overall a great find. El be coming back. Outdoor showers by the bathroom would be amazing to rinse off.

@PATRICIAF93069 · Camped on Jul 17, 2024 at Campsite #34

I stayed at Petes Lake campground for 13 days and I loved it! The sites are roomy and with trees and bushes growing around they have a sense of privacy. The lake has a great beach and swim area. The hosts, Sara and Derrick, are great! They are both friendly and helpful. They work hard at keeping the campgrounds clean and inviting. The bathrooms are very clean and do not smell. I thoroughly enjoyed my stay and plan on visiting the campground again!

@NancyA9740553 · Camped on Jul 10, 2024 at Campsite #32

The campground is clean and well maintained, quiet and beautiful! The camp hosts are friendly and very helpful. Our family has stayed here every summer for several years and plan day trips to Pictured Rocks, Marquette and several waterfall hikes within short distances, very conveniently located.

@KevinK6480CCED · Camped on Jul 9, 2024 at Campsite #15

Campsite was clean, raked and pretty level for our roof top tent. The swimming area was a nice way to relax after a long day of hiking. The assistance we received from the camp chaperones was great. They supplied us with free firewood and directions to a few places. We will be camping here again with the whole family.

@JeffreyJ698559 · Camped on Jul 5, 2024 at Campsite #4A

One night someone was shooting off very loud fireworks in the campground at midnight. The roads could also use a repaving. Great Campground and lake. JetSkis and motorboats tie up right next to the swimming area.

@DavidB4421384 · Camped on Sep 9, 2023 at Campsite #9

I love it. To many non-campers driving through.

@RachelS6363728 · Camped on Sep 5, 2023 at Campsite #14D

We loved our adventure at Pete's campground! A short drive to Munising and the Pictured Rocks area - many trails, and beaches to explore. The campground feels so remote and quiet with large sites.

@SharonK3494511 · Camped on Sep 1, 2023 at Campsite #4A

Could be the best campsite I ever booked. Had a beautiful little private sandy beach on the lake, and the campsite was large and very private. Definitely will be back!

@RichardB341941 · Camped on Aug 15, 2023 at Campsite #41

A perfect place to relax. Well maintained and excellent water!

@ColleenM947508 · Camped on Aug 13, 2023 at Campsite #6A

Beautiful location. Quiet and secluded campsites. Nice swimming area.

@PamelaS2519925 · Camped on Aug 12, 2023 at Campsite #5

We love this campground and have been coming here for over 10 years. It's always been a quiet place. Recently tho, speed boats and jet skis have ruined the quiet. The lake is a no wake lake, so those things, unfortunately, are ok to use.

@ThomasS5574085 · Camped on Jul 25, 2023 at Campsite #41

Spacious site, nicely wooded. Wonderful drinking water. Conveniently close to Munising and Pictured Rocks area.

@TimH9025603 · Camped on Jul 22, 2023 at Campsite #28

When we arrived, there were people set up in the site that we reserved and they wouldn't leave. It apparently was a mistake by the campground host. We had to stay in a different site for the night, the move the next day. The campground was very rustic.

@GregL2241545 · Camped on Jul 13, 2023 at Campsite #5

I love Pete's Lake Campground! It's a rustic campground with large camp sites. You can easily doulbe up on sites with friends or family. The beach and lake are great.

@LizC1438969 · Camped on Jul 7, 2023 at Campsite #20

One of my favorite campgrounds in the UP. It's really close to most of the touristic area, the beach and lake are awesome. The hosts are amazing keeping everything clean.

@RandyP3352909 · Camped on Jul 1, 2023 at Campsite #29

Campground is awesome

@Christina18556 · Camped on Sep 4, 2022 at Campsite #30

wonderful site! Very clean, we were able to just drive into our site after reserving it online for the holiday weekend. Good distance between sites, vault toilets clean and maintained. Would definitely come back again!

@ANGELAL3690656 · Camped on Aug 20, 2022 at Campsite #9

We camp here every year. This time We were in site 9 . Unfortunately the bathrooms were not kept up properly and were horrible this year. The site host did not provide options for bundles of wood on site this year either. Our thru the woods neighbor utilized their generator all night long.

@TaranP7522824 · Camped on Aug 14, 2022 at Campsite #4A

Great location - 15 minutes from Munising. Very private. The private beach on the campsite was absolutely fantastic.

I just used PerfectCamp.com to book six consecutive August nights at the most popular campsite in one of the most popular campgrounds in Humboldt Redwoods State Park in California. That is not anything I could have accomplished anywhere else with the ease I did here! Thank you, PerfectCamp! I LOVE this site! You will find me on several other camping sites but the design, format, functionality, and personality of this the best. It’s fresh and clean.

@Wondering - Oregon

Wow! Woke up this morning to a notification that a favorite had opened at Paulina, and when I went to check, it was there. This membership just paid for itself in the first 24 hours I owned it. Couldn't take the site it conflicted with a trip already set, but it truly was there. Thanks Tons.

@CarlaLThompson - Colorado
