Driving directionsFrom St. Ignace, Michigan, take Highway 2 west for about 20 miles. Turn north on Brevort Camp Road/Forest Service Road 3108, then right at Forest Service Road 3473 and continue to the campground entrance.

Accessible from Highway 2, with well-marked paved roads leading into the campground. However, a user review suggests more signage along Highway 2 would improve navigation, stating "Need more better signs to find the campground coming off Hwy 2."

Best Time to Camp at Brevoort Lake Campground

Experience the gentle rhythms of Michigan's seasons at Brevoort Lake, where each month brings its own magic. Spring arrives with crisp May mornings perfect for casting a line as the lake awakens from winter's slumber. Summer delivers those coveted dry days with temperatures that invite swimming and lounging on the beach without the oppressive heat found elsewhere. As September approaches, the forest begins its spectacular color show while cooler evenings make for ideal campfire weather. Winter transforms the landscape into a snow-covered wonderland, though the campground enters its quiet season as temperatures dip below freezing and the lake wears its icy crown.

About Brevoort Lake Campground

Escape to Brevoort Lake Campground, where the pristine waters of Michigan's Upper Peninsula meet the ancient forests of Hiawatha National Forest. This beloved lakeside retreat beckons anglers with its legendary fishing, hikers with miles of scenic trails, and families seeking that perfect blend of wilderness and comfort. Visitors rave about the spacious campsites that offer breathing room from neighbors, the meticulously maintained facilities, and the warm hospitality of staff who treat every guest like family. Best of all, many sites provide direct access to the lake's sandy shores, where morning mist dances across the water and evening sunsets paint the sky in brilliant hues.

Brevoort Lake Campground accommodates various camping setups, including tent camping, RV camping, and group camping.

Historical SignificanceStep into a land where history and nature intertwine beautifully. Just a scenic drive and quick 10-minute ferry ride away lies the legendary Mackinac Island, where horse-drawn carriages still clip-clop down streets frozen in time. Adventure seekers can witness the raw power of nature at nearby Tahquamenon Falls, one of the largest waterfalls east of the Mississippi, while culture enthusiasts will find deep connections to the region's indigenous heritage at the Ojibwa Culture Museum. These storied destinations make Brevoort Lake the perfect basecamp for exploring the rich tapestry of Michigan's Upper Peninsula history.

Natural Features and SceneryImagine waking to the whisper of wind through towering pines, hemlocks, and ancient oaks that stand as sentinels around your secluded campsite. Brevoort Lake Campground offers a masterclass in natural beauty, where beach grass sways gently along sandy shores that seem to stretch endlessly. Each site feels like a private sanctuary, carved carefully from the forest to provide both shelter and connection to the surrounding wilderness. The interplay of forest and beach creates a unique ecosystem where woodland creatures venture to the water's edge and shorebirds nest in the protective canopy.

Geological RegionPerched on a stunning peninsula that reaches into the crystal-clear waters of Brevoort Lake, this campground showcases the geological wonders of the Hiawatha National Forest. The landscape tells an ancient story written in sand and stone, where glacial forces carved out this magnificent lake and left behind beaches of fine sand that rival any ocean shore. Massive pines, hemlocks, and oaks sink their roots deep into this sandy soil, creating a forest cathedral above while shrubby understory plants carpet the ground below. This unique peninsula setting offers campers the rare experience of being surrounded by water on three sides, with each view revealing another facet of Michigan's natural splendor.
