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".
