Brevoort Lake Campground
Brevoort Lake, near St. Ignace · Hiawatha National Forest
Hiawatha National Forest, 72 sites spread along a wooded peninsula on Brevoort Lake. Rustic, so no hookups. Flush toilets, drinking water, a boat launch, and swimming on the lake. The sites run big with real tree cover between them, and a good number sit right on the water. Reserve early if you want a waterfront one, they go.

Works for hammock, tent, RV, van / car. Measured dark skies, a real one for stargazing.
Hanging a hammock?
Hammocks are fine in Michigan state parks. There's no rule against them. The rule is about the tree: use wide, tree-friendly straps, no nails or wire, and don't tear the bark. The state sets no strap or tree-size requirement, so when in doubt, ask the park. We'll point you at sites that likely have trees worth hanging from, but we can't see the trunks, so eyeball it on arrival.
