Camping - Our campground has 25 sites to accommodate most all camping styles.
Boating - There are a few row boats available to use on Bambi Lake.
Canoeing - We have canoes to use on Bambi Lake and we are just minutes from the famous AuSable River and all it’s branches that have canoe rental liveries.
Kayaking - We have kayaks for enjoying on Bambi Lake too. The area canoe liveries also rent kayaks on the AuSable River.
Swimming - Our waterfront area is constantly be upgraded. A lifeguard is not on staff so swimming needs adult suppervision. A lifeguard is provided for children;s camps and can be pre-arranged upon request for a fee.
Glamping - Four small semi rustic mini cabins were added to the campground in 2019. They have beds with linens and electricity but no plumbing or heat. A microwave and mini fridge are included.
Fishing - Bambi Lake has bass, blue gill, and crappie for anglers of all ages. There is also a mystery fish that a few people have observed but not identified as yet. Catch and release policy,
Birding - We have a large and diversified population of birds that each have their own distinct song.
Human Foosball - Yes, human foosball…. Great for youth groups to work together as a team to compete against other youth groups or adult groups to challenge other adult groups.
9 Hole Putt Putt Golf - The course never plays the same twice…!! There always seems to be a few extra hazards to contend with, wether they are pine needles, branches, leaves, or even chipmunks.
Basketball - An outdoor basketball court is a short distance from the waterfront area and an indoor court closer to the campground inside our metal quonset style gym.
Pickleball - A pickleball court has been added to the gym near the campground area.
Beach Volleyball - The court is right on the beach. Plan to get wet etreiving the ball from the lake!
Shooting Range - Our range is under development yet. Currently it allows for handgun practice and shorter distance rifle practice. There is a covered shooting line area that has a rest rail to shoot from. This area is located well away from all of our other activities on the property
Tubing Hill - Monster hill is a dual run tubing hill that ends up at the edge of lake, unless the conditions are right to get across to the campground dock.
Ga-ga Ball - The pit is located a short distance from the waterfront, human foosball, and Pinegrove.
Camp Fires - Most of the campground sites have a fire pit for fires. There is also a large field stone fire pit in the pavilion at the campground. Two amphitheater areas also have fire pits, one is close to the lake shore and the other is in a bowl area in the woods.
Hiking - We have a number of trails thru the property that are available for hiking.
Archery - We have all the equipment to allow shooters of all ages to learn and enjoy the sport. Staff will set it up and monitor its use.
Trail Access for ATV, ORV, and Snowmobile - One of the main DNR trails is actually literally right off the corner of our property corner. The trail is also easily accessible from the campground by following the seasonal road to where the trail crosses it. Bambi rule is idle off the camp, then enjoy the trails. These off road vehicles are not for use on camp.
