Presque Isle State Campground
About
Presque Isle State Campground is a public lake beach in Michigan, about 16 miles from the town of Wakefield. The facts on hand describe it simply as a lake beach, so think of it as a shoreline stop and a base for exploring the trails that start close by. Summer is the most comfortable time to visit. Typical July averages from a nearby weather station in Ironwood run to highs around 77°F and lows around 55°F, while winter highs there stay near 20°F in January. Several Porcupine Mountains State Park trails begin within a mile, including the Lake Superior Trail about half a mile away and the West River and East River trails less than a mile off. Black River Harbor Campground is roughly 4 miles away for another place to stay.
