About
Three Lakes Campground is quiet and serenely nestled between Whitmarsh Lake, Brown Lake, and along the bank of Walker Lake. The campground is located far enough away to feel secluded but still conveniently close to two main highways -- M-123 to the west and M-28 to the north, making the site especially popular to travelers looking for an easy on/off highway overnight stay while vacation traveling across the U.P. The campground features 10 single family tent or RV sites with picnic tables and a fire ring. There are vault toilets but no utilities are available. Fishing is popular here with crappie, perch, bullhead, pike & bass found in the lakes. A carry-down boat ramp is located at the campground's picnic area as well as at some of the campsites. These lakes are for non-motorized use only. Although there is not a designated swimming area, there are a few small sandy areas where swimming can take place if desired.
