While Michigan is home to plenty of great nature spots to escape into, it can be hard to find a park that isn't full of other people exploring. Craig Lake State Park in the Upper Peninsula, however, is one of the most remote parks in our state and will have you feeling completely secluded. Not only will you have over 8,000 acres to explore, but there are also cozy yurts hiding inside this slice of nature for the best remote accommodations. If you're looking to escape in true Michigan nature, Craig Lake State Park in Champion is the best remote getaway.
Welcome to Craig Lake State Park!
While many of Michigan's state parks are widely popular, this Upper Peninsula slice of nature is our state's most remote state park.

Featuring six different lakes, miles and miles of hiking trails, and plenty of wildlife to see, there's something for everyone here.
While there are plenty of walk-up campsites available if you're looking to make a whole trip out of your visit, Craig Lake State Park also offers yurt cabins to rent and enjoy.
