About Highbank Lake Campground

Campground in Michigan.

Highbank Lake Campground offers a peaceful retreat in the heart of Michigan, where natural beauty and outdoor recreation converge to create an authentic camping experience. This intimate public campground with its nine sites provides the perfect setting for families, couples, and solo travelers seeking to escape the hustle and bustle of everyday life and reconnect with nature.

Situated in Michigan's scenic landscape, Highbank Lake Campground serves as an ideal base for exploring the region's outdoor attractions. The campground's proximity to the lake itself makes it a haven for water enthusiasts. Fishing opportunities abound in the surrounding waters, where visitors can try their luck catching the area's native fish species. Whether you're an experienced angler or a beginner looking to learn, the calm waters provide an inviting environment for a relaxing day on the water.

Beyond the water, the area surrounding the campground is rich with natural attractions and recreational opportunities. Hiking trails wind through the Michigan countryside, offering varying levels of difficulty for different skill levels. These trails showcase the region's diverse flora and fauna, providing excellent opportunities for nature photography and wildlife observation. Birdwatchers will find plenty to appreciate, as the area is home to numerous species throughout the seasons.

The small size of Highbank Lake Campground creates a community feel among guests while maintaining the peaceful, quiet atmosphere that many campers seek. With only nine sites, you won't find the crowded conditions that plague larger facilities. This intimate setting allows for a more personal camping experience where you can truly disconnect and enjoy the outdoors at your own pace.

The surrounding region offers charming small-town character with local shops, restaurants, and services within reasonable driving distance. Visitors can explore Michigan's unique culture, from local artisan shops to seasonal farmers markets. The area is particularly beautiful during fall when the changing leaves paint the landscape in vibrant colors, though each season offers its own distinct appeal and opportunities for outdoor adventures.

This is my favorite campground for peace and quiet and being in the middle of nowhere in the national forest area.

This is my favorite campground for peace and quiet and being in the middle of nowhere in the national forest area. This place is an amazing experience there’s a smaller lake with beautiful water for swimming and kayaking/ floating in a tube. The mini beach area for swimming is perfect and has a nice sandy bottom. There’s fish in the lake to for people who fish and we heard plenty of them jumping in the early morning outta the water. Definitely recommend this campground, only con is the $30 fee as I remember about 10 or so years ago it was under $10 my dad said.

It is a sweet rustic camp ground has 9 sites three are tents only not meant for huge houses on wheels either and the lake is very nice it has a building out house bathroom no shower but you can go to a camp ground near by to shower. You have to have a fishing license to fish there unless you are a kid than it's free. No play ground for kids but great natural trail's there is one water source bes... It is a sweet rustic camp ground has 9 sites three are tents only not meant for huge houses on wheels either and the lake is very nice it has a building out house bathroom no shower but you can go to a camp ground near by to shower. You have to have a fishing license to fish there unless you are a kid than it's free. No play ground for kids but great natural trail's there is one water source besides the lake for you to use so bring jug's. So if you want nature experience it is one to check out. The fire pits have there own grates
