Ewing Point Campsite

How does a secluded lakeside campsite surrounded by towering hemlock and cedar trees sound for your next wilderness escape? Ewing Point Campsite, located on the northern edge of the serene 132-acre McKeever Lake in Michigan's Hiawatha National Forest, offers a single grassy walk-in campsite that provides unmatched tranquility, natural beauty, and direct access to outdoor adventures. With its rustic charm and minimalist amenities, this campsite is ideal for those seeking immersion in nature without distractions.

Accessible via a 650-foot primitive trail, the campsite is a rustic 50-by-75-foot clearing equipped with essentials like a fire ring with a grill, picnic tables, and a lantern post. A pit toilet is available on-site, but campers must bring their own water. The lake’s sandy bottom makes it suitable for swimming and wading (at your own risk), and anglers will appreciate fishing opportunities for musky, pike, bass, and panfish. The shallow waters also mean smaller boats or hand-carried kayaks are ideal here. Nearby, the 9-mile Bruno’s Run Hiking Trail offers scenic routes that weave through the forest and along McKeever Lake, perfect for hikers keen to explore the area.

Located roughly 20 minutes south of the picturesque town of Munising, Ewing Point not only provides an escape into the Upper Peninsula’s stunning wilderness but also sits within easy reach of Munising’s attractions, including the famed Pictured Rocks National Lakeshore. Whether visiting for a weekend getaway or an extended camping retreat, Ewing Point Campsite is a prime spot for nature lovers yearning for solitude and adventure in Michigan's great outdoors.
