This rustic campground offers nine tent and small trailer sites shaded by conifers and hemlocks, with picturesque lake views of Emily Lake. Enjoy excellent paddling and fishing on the 54-acre lake. There's a boating access site in the campground. It's also located near the Bill Nicholls Trail, which provides 41 miles of trail open to a variety of recreational activities.

For visitors following a GPS route along M-38, the map may suggest Pike Lake Road as the shortest route; however, the road is primarily gravel. To avoid excessive travel on gravel roads, travel via highway from M-38 to M-26 to Emily Lake Road.

The campground is located 3.8 miles south of Twin Lake via M-26 South and Emily Lake Road.
