Lyman Lake Campsites in MI -- Campground & RV Camping

Lyman Lake features 10 rustic campsites along the shore of a 67-acre lake in the Hiawatha National Forest. Sites vary from small single-family setups like Site 10 to large group spaces like Site 5, which holds up to 24 campers. Primitive toilets serve sites 3, 4, 5, 8, and 9, but no drinking water is provided across the grounds. A public back-in boat ramp sits between sites 6 and 7 to target bass, pike, and panfish. Stairways aid access on steep shoreline sites. Swimming quality varies greatly depending on the site, with the best access at sites 3 and 5.
