Brevoort Lake National Forest Campground

 

 

 

 

On Friday around 11 we crossed the bridge and headed West to the campground. We arrived and all the "good" sites were occupied. The first 12 sites or so at this campground are on the lake and have nice beaches. We got a site further down, still have access to the lake, just no sandy beach here. Still a nice site. Large sites, trees in-between the sites for privacy. This campground has flush toilets (but no showers) and also has a fill and dump station which was nice for the camper. We had great weather, on Friday we went and explored the area, got some smoked fish and pasties. Gathered some wood and enjoyed ourselves. On Saturday we went to Castle Rock and explored some of the National Forest roads and did some challenging geocaches. Also went over to Lake Michigan which is only 2 miles away and swam there. back to dinner in the dutch oven. On Sunday we just relaxed and enjoyed the weather.. and watched everybody leave. On Friday night there were only a few sites open.. but Sunday there were only a few that were filled. There are a few sites you can reserve here, but most are first come, first server. That is why we arrived early. I think we may have been too early, as check out time is 2pm and several people left after we arrived... so if we had been about 1hr or 1.5hr later I think we could have gotten one of the nicer sites, but I was still pleased with the site and I love this campground... Large beautiful sites for $16 per night. Fresh water fillup is free, but $8 to dump. Well worth the money!
