Otter Lake Campground and Lodges

While understanding running a functioning business is stressful, if you work in hospitality priorities shift. We were all so excited to return to Otter Lake, however our last trip was nothing short of disappointing. While family visited, our disabled aunt was treated horribly. Upon explaining several times that she could not walk more than 20 feet without excruciating pain , she was still told she needed to be parked up the hill & on the other side of the campground. There was no accommodations, no empathy, no offer to shuttle her to our family’s campsite with the golf cart they spend most of their time riding around & monitoring people instead of engaging / enhancing experiences. The animosity of the environment was intense enough we felt the need to spend time with family elsewhere for most of our stay. While amenities where fine, public areas clean, the space beautiful - the atmosphere was not welcoming. Aside from the experience itself, the current owners were more than content talking poorly of the previous owners to our family. We have been long time friends of the previous owners, so naturally this was upsetting. However the negativity they felt free enough to spread to other campers is not only in bad taste but simply unprofessional. There are plenty of gorgeous & hospitable campgrounds / lodgings in the area. Island Lake, the Buckhorn, Pictured Rocks Family Rentals, etc. Otter Lake unfortunately is no longer one of those. The current owners clearly only care about earning an extra buck, not about enhancing the experience of paying customers. While once before I’d recommend this campground to friends / family visiting before anywhere else, this place has become one I’d emphasize to not waste your money on.

We had a great experience camping at Otter campground. Our kids loved the playground. The view of the lake was beautiful. It was close by to a couple waterfalls we wanted to see and only 20 minutes to some really nice beaches. The showers were nice with hot water and good water pressure. They have a laundry and dish washing room. Everyone seemed to respect 11pm quiet time unlike a lot of other cam... We had a great experience camping at Otter campground.

Everyone seemed to respect 11pm quiet time unlike a lot of other campgrounds making for a good nights sleep (: we will be coming back for sure!

Nice lake, good swimming, row boats for rent, excellent fishing. My campsite was large and level with lake views. Many sites are small and not the same; be judicious when selecting a site. One dump station with fresh water fill. Proximity to Pictured Rocks, waterfalls, and Lake Superior was excellent. We had a good family camping experience there. Rent a row boat to enjoy good fishing.

This has been by far our favorite campground- and we camp very regularly both on and off season. We stayed over labor day weekend- the camp was clean and pretty. In a great location- and we really enjoyed our stay. I would highly recommend this campground to anyone looking to visit the Munising area - or Pictured Rocks.

I would highly recommend this campground to anyone looking to visit the Munising area - or Pictured Rocks. The lake was gorgeous and the ride to the campground was too. The off road trail takes you out to some pretty cool trails - and the owners were very sweet and helpful. We stayed in site 55 and it was not very level but a good sized site that backs up to the woods, is across from the restroom, lake and playground.

Excellent campground. We have been there four times now and this campground is one of the main reasons we come back to pictured rocks every year. We stay in the rustic side and yes it is a walk to the bathrooms but that is part of what makes the rustic great. It feels secluded and you still have excellent showers (the best showers I've ever had at a campground). The hosts are friendly and a very b... Excellent campground.

We stay in the rustic side and yes it is a walk to the bathrooms but that is part of what makes the rustic great. It feels secluded and you still have excellent showers (the best showers I've ever had at a campground). The hosts are friendly and a very big part of your experience. They are investing in the grounds which results in a better experience every year.
