This is a great campground with great amenities. The bathroom/shower house is always clean and stocked. The lake is a great feature. The staff is very helpful and friendly. I camp alot and this is my favorite local spot.

The Barefootandfree yoga festival is the best event of the year! I help with the set up and i can honestly say it's very well organized with volunteers! Then they are allowed to attend! 🕉🙏

Proud Lake Recreation Area is such a beautiful spot. The kind of place that makes you instantly slow down and just breathe. The scenery is pure Michigan, with winding trails, peaceful water views, and plenty of space to explore. I attended the Barefoot & Free Yoga Festival here, and it was the perfect setting surrounded by nature, sunshine, and good energy. Whether you’re hiking, kayaking, camping, or just sitting by the water, there’s something special about this park. It feels both peaceful and alive, and you leave feeling refreshed. A must-visit for anyone who loves the outdoors.

Proud Lake Recreation is such a beautiful place. This was the first time I've been there. The paths are magical. The deeper you go into the woods, the more you feel like you've been transported into a different time. Surprisingly, there weren't that many people walking the trails that day. A group of us went on a Sunday early in the afternoon. I had my 2 y.o. grandson with me. I did have his heavy-duty stroller, which I'm glad my son dropped it off before we left. The deeper you go into the woods, the more rough the terrain becomes. So you may want to wear hiking boots. My Sketchers were definitely not the footwear of choice and weren't cutting it. However, my tree hugging daughter loves to do earthing and walked the whole trail barefoot! We did see a few joggers, though. The mosquitoes weren't too bad as long as you were moving. There are benches to rest ever so often that are dedicated to a loved one, which I thought was nice. But I can tell you it was a beautiful 4-mile walk, and I will definitely be walking those trails again. Just remember to take a big jug of water and have fun! p.s. there are also outhouse type restrooms at designated spots.

About 3,030 acres of woodlands, wetlands, and a chain of lakes. Whether you’re a nature lover or an adventure seeker, this is a nice park to check out if in the area! Proud Lake itself is the heart of the park, drawing anglers, kayakers, and canoeists who come for excellent fishing and peaceful water activities. 
There’s a boat launch for easy access, and the lake’s serene waters are perfect for paddling.The park also features a range of hiking and mountain biking trails, plus over 3.5 miles of the Huron River to explore. Some designated trails even allow horse back riding. The diverse landscape makes it a prime spot for birdwatching and wildlife spotting, especially in the wetlands. Camping is also a great option here, with over 100 sites offering both modern and rustic experiences.
