June 06, 20253 min read

Tucked away in the heart of Michigan’s lush woodlands, Bambi Lake Baptist Retreat & Conference Center is your ticket to peace, purpose, and pine trees galore. Located at 3468 E. Robinson Lake Rd, Roscommon, MI 48653, this hidden gem offers more than just a spiritual recharge—it’s the kind of place where your soul takes a deep breath, your phone loses signal (on purpose), and your inner child gets to play. Whether you're planning a church retreat, family reunion, youth camp, or just want to hit pause on the chaos of life, Bambi Lake is your go-to sanctuary... and oh boy, it delivers!

🏕️Why Bambi Lake is the Spot

✨ It’s on 240+ acres of pure Michigan magic

We’re talking towering pines, shimmering lakes, quiet hiking trails, and that fresh forest air that slaps a smile on your face. Bambi Lake isn’t just big—it’s peacefully epic.

✨ All-inclusive lodging + amenities

From rustic cabins and dorm-style lodges to private rooms for those who like their peace with a little heat and Wi-Fi, this place has options. Add in the gym, chapel, cafeteria, lakefront, and even a high ropes course, and you're looking at a full-blown retreat playground.

✨ Faith-forward fun for all ages

Owned by the Baptist State Convention of Michigan, Bambi Lake mixes gospel truth with summer camp vibes. Whether you’re singing by the bonfire or learning by the lakeshore, the message is always clear: reconnect with God, community, and nature.

🌟Top Things to Do (Besides Recharging Your Soul)

    Bring your swimsuit and leave your worries behind. Bambi Lake itself is serene and spring-fed—perfect for a chill float or a morning paddle.

Roast s’mores, sing your heart out, or just sit back and stargaze. The night sky up here is INSANE—zero city lights, 100% constellations.

📍 Nearby Attractions Worth the Detour
