Hello all. I was the camphost this summer at the beautiful Pete's lake campground in Wetmore Mi. I want to thank all of you beautiful people for coming and camping here. We enjoyed meeting so many of you. I know that there were some folks that may not have had such an enjoyable experience and I'd like to apologize. When folks came to us with an issue we always did our best to resolve it. However some folks didn't tell us until the next day when it was too late. We never minded anyone coming at night to let us know. Also we did have 2 days a week off so there may have been times when we were gone most or all of the day. I hope you all come back and enjoy this beautiful campground next year. We won't be here but another wonderful couple will be. Stay safe! B. Duwe

Beautiful campground on a lake. We just returned from our annual trip here and for the fourth year in a row, quite hours were not enforced whatsoever. We keep coming back in hopes it will be better as the campground itself is great, but campers partying until past 2am and generators running 24/7 ruin it.

Hosts where very nice! But the company in charge needs to do something with the water system because they don't seem to want to fix it and over half the time we couldn't get water. Had to go elsewhere to get water. They could also have a dump station put there! There is plenty of room to have one put in but no place to dump unless you drive way out of your way to find some place. They have it at a couple other places but nowhere around the area there! 😕 Other than that a great experience!

Would not recommend this campground. Camp hosts do not enforce the rules. Neighbor ran generator 24/7,camp host was directly across from this site. In my opinion,you camp to enjoy nature,generators need to be used when allowed. Young kids did repeated laps in golf carts,dogs barking, again no enforcement of any kind. Could be a nice campground if people cared enough to follow rules.

A favorite of my extended family's list of places to camp. So many fond memories. It was great to be back. Bugs are a real nuisance though, so be prepared. Also, U.P. weather is fickle. Again, be prepared.

Beautiful campground. We agree with all the glowing compliments paid here, and we will return in 2025. We can only hope this year, campers respect the quiet hours rules by NOT running generators after 10 pm, since the hosts felt powerless to enforce the rule.

First time here, hosts (Derrick and Sara) were exceptionally helpful and went out of their way to make sure we were taken care of. Hope you are there next year! Bathrooms were very clean, best we have seen in a National Park even though it was a vault system. Site was awesome, lots of privacy and wonderful lake, kayaked for hours. Ralph and Shannon

My boyfriend and I stayed at site 7A over the Labor Day weekend. It was amazing and beautiful! Our site was a walk-in so it was a little more private and extremely spacious. There were no bugs either which we aren't sure if we got lucky or if it's always like that. I totally recommend this to anyone looking for a beautiful and peaceful place to stay. Only slight downside was our site was part of a trailhead which the signage can be a bit confusing so we did have people accidentally come onto our site a couple times thinking it was the trail. Maybe a little better signage would help? Otherwise absolutely love it, 10/10!

Pete’s Lake Campground is a great place for rustic camping. The sites are roomy and surrounded by trees. The camp hosts, Sara and Derrick, are amazing hosts. They are available to help with any problem you may have (I had a battery issue) and are well versed in local knowledge! The bathrooms we super clean and didn’t smell. This was my first experience at Pete’s Lake but it certainly won’t be my last! Thanks Sara and Derrick for making my stay such a great experience!!

Well taken care of. Cleanest vaulted bathrooms we've ever seen at a rustic campground. Lake is beautiful, great beach. Shore fishing is limited to the dock, otherwise you need a boat/yak/canoe. The general store isn't far, you can rent them there. 20 minutes from pictured rock.

We visited Pete’s Lake campground last summer with our renovated camper van. The grounds and facilities were well kept and the camp host was friendly and helpful! Only pit toilets and no showers but we brought equipment that would make do. Highly recommend this campground if you are looking to be within 45 min drive of Pictured Rocks Lakeshore

Nice area. Clean pit toilets. Cute beach. Not super far from anything. Only downside is that some people weren't courteous enough for "quiet time".... but overall would come again.

Hiawatha state forest campground (no showers only pit toilets). We liked that names with reserved days were right on the site post. This made check in way less complicated than it has to be (never seen this in WI). The campground host were very friendly. They greeted us right when we were setting up, then left us alone until we went to purchase some fire wood, then they helped us load it up (purchased alot at one time). The sites were big, pretty deep, and mostly private. The lake looked clean. Not much of a beach but a grassy area. We snuck back to one of the walk in sites as it was closed and not reserved. It looked even better then the "normal sites".
