Bobcat Lake

Bobcat Lake is a campground that supports general camping and can accommodate travel trailers; one review reports fitting a 40 ft travel trailer into site 8. The campground includes basic on-site facilities that are described as clean and well-maintained.

A review notes that drinking water is provided from May through September and that modest fees are charged during that period, while camping is typically free from October through April. The same review states that gates are left open in the off-season. A swimming beach on the same lake is available a short distance down the road; it is not immediately adjacent to the campground and is described in reviews as the nicest swimming area in this district of the Ottawa.

Reported seasonal conditions include low usage in late fall and late spring, with the campground sometimes nearly empty during peak fall colors. The review also advises coming early or late in the year to avoid mosquitoes. Management of the campground is handled by the local Marenisco district rather than a private concessioner, and fees here and at other campgrounds in the Marenisco district are described as being among the lowest for rustic campgrounds in the UP with similar amenities.

Facilities are characterized as basic but clean and well-maintained, and seasonal services and fees vary as described above. The campground has at least one site reported to accommodate a 40 ft travel trailer.
