About This Park
Overview
The sparkling Marion Lake offers breathtaking and exciting camping for your next family trip. Live it up on the water with your jet skis or wake board, or tone down the pace with a full day of fishing. The Marion Lake Group Site is an ideal way to spend time with friends and family for all the water activities you can imagine.
Marion Lake is in the Ottawa National Forest, a protected area in the Western Upper Peninsula of Michigan. It stretches from the Lake Superior shoreline to the Wisconsin border, and attracts deer and many types of migrating birds.

Basic electric hookups make this workable for most RVs, though you'll rely on shared facilities for water and waste. The remote location earns its keep with solitude and unspoiled surroundings — just stock up on supplies before you head out. Facilities are basic — bring what you need and expect a more self-sufficient camping experience.
