The campsites and the lake were great, felt like camping in wild life preserve. We loved morning walks around the lake. I'm still recovering from all the tick bites, have never seen so many ticks.

Wakely Lake is one of the beautiful places in Michigan. It continues to give me a lifetime of memories. One thing that confused me though was the pay structure. I reserved a campsite for two nights ($10@) but was charged $8 a day for hiking too. Humm. Did I miss something? Then when I got back to my vehicle and noticed there was a tag requesting $5 under the wiper. I filled out the form and explained that I paid online and put it in the box. Still not sure if I did everything correctly. I deeply respect the area and want to support those involved in it’s maintenance.

Perfect rustic camping spot. About a half mile hike into the campsite on a beautiful remote lake. Will need kayak or canoe to fish most of the lake but worth it. Plenty of fish to catch. And Grayling is just 10 minute drive away. Beautiful town with plenty of other fishing opportunities around

Excellent campsites with one vault toilet for the entire campground and individual firepits at each site. Have to bring in your own water, but there is great fishing and hiking around the lake.
