Lakes of Fire – Camping!!
Awww - They're Buddies! - Wa
CAMPING:
Lakes of Fire has primitive camping. Aside from porta-potties, about the only amenity you’ll find on-site is the ground, to prevent you from falling into the Void. There are a limited number of fire rings for small camp fires, and several dozen picnic tables. The site also offers a small number of showers for public use. (Ask at the Greeters’ station for details.) But there are no cabins, no ice sales, no food concessions, and no Starbucks. Rely on yourself for your survival.
Here are some of the very basics that you will need:
Tent
Bedding (sleeping bag/pillow)
Changes of clothes (both warm and cool weather)
Rain gear
Matches/lighter
First aid kit
Bug Spray
Sun screen
Sense of humor
Flashlight
Food
Water/drinks
Ear plugs
Eating utensils
Cookware
Garbage bags
Bacon
You can find a more detailed list of necessities here.
Failure to bring these necessities will result in way less of a good time.
LEAVE AT HOME:
Fireworks – they are illegal in the state of Michigan
Guns or weapons of any kind
Pets – aside from ADA-qualified assistance dogs
Glass – a serious impediment to our Leave No Trace Principle, if it breaks. Cans are preferred.
Firewood from outside the state of Michigan – this is also against the law due to bug infestations
Illegal substances (i.e. illicit drugs) of any kind.
