About Sunken Lake Park
Sunken Lake Park is a secluded and quiet gem in Michigan, a beloved family spot for generations. It is a campground and day use area going through changes and improvements, with new management doing a great job. The park is split into two main areas connected by a road and trails, featuring a bridge to Bear Island with primitive tent plots. It offers excellent fishing on a nice smaller lake, a swimming area, and a shallow stream. There is plenty to do for all ages, including playgrounds on each side, trails, a pavilion, picnic areas at nearly every camp spot, and a medium-sized covered picnic area for rent. The communal space sometimes has live music and wooden bench swings. The lake and stars are beautiful. Amenities include a bath house with toilets, sinks, and showers—which are older and in need of improvement—along with outhouses and porta-potties in the day use area. The park is dog-friendly with a fenced area, though dogs are not allowed at the beach. It is considered a must-see Michigan spot for camping, fishing, and making family memories in a safe, hospitable setting with good people. Visitors should expect a long, secluded drive and are advised to use bug spray.
Camp ground is going through some changes. Needs some help for Austin. He is doing what he can. But the fishing is the best.
