Pretty Lake State Forest Campground

Newberry, Michigan

About

Nestled within the Pretty Lake Quiet Area, this rustic campground offers 18 sites suitable for tents and trailers of all sizes. The quiet area designation allows for unmotorized use only, including Pretty Lake and its surrounding lakes. Pretty Lake anchors the northern end of a seven-lake chain, connected by short portages to Brush, Camp 8, Long, Bullhead, and Beaverhouse lakes. The campground also features a day-use area with picnic tables and a charcoal grill. For a more secluded experience, there are eight walk-in/paddle-in sites (sites #19-#26) along the Pretty Lake Pathway and chain of lakes. The [Pretty Lake Pathway](http://www.dnr.state.mi.us/recsearch/-/media/Project/Websites/recsearch/documents/MapsO-S/Pretty_Lake_Pathway_map.pdf?rev=c1cb25abcef04d2bb342a2650332236d&hash=A8B7C9D80DF684DD05B2ECB4B8F82CE0), which leads to the walk-in campsites, can be accessed on the west side of the campground. The campground is located 25 miles northwest of Newberry via M-123 and County Roads 407 and 416.
