Go if

ORV riders with Michigan trail stickers who want direct Bull Gap trail access and don't mind hauling in their own water. Fall weekends thin the crowds significantly, and the jack pine setting is genuinely unusual. Sites are big and private for $15.

Skip if

Anyone expecting a quiet retreat will find the ORV crowd loud, especially summer weekends. No showers, no potable water, no hookups, vault toilets only, and the lake itself is shallow with a mucky bottom, so the 'lakeside' appeal is mostly scenery.
