History
Established in 1971.
Bea and Arnold Malsack moved to Marqutte County in the 1960s to start a family business. Lake Arrowhead Campground, named after the arrowheads found years ago around the area, opened in 1971 with around a dozen campsites and a small campstore. The campground was nearly entirely staffed by four people, Arnold, Bea, their son Phil, and Phil's fiancée Linda. Linda and Phil had met in college and were married in 1973 on the campground property. Each worked another full time job in addition to the campground, with Phil spending 22 years at the Marquette County Sheriff's Department primarily as Sheriff and Chief Deputy Sheriff. The campground was officially purchased by Linda and Phil in 1975 and the couple lived in a small house attached to the campstore. Currently the Lake Arrowhead and Lakeside campground operation has grown to over 70 staff members and more than 360 sites. The Malsack Family members are co-owners and still actively involved in the operation of the campground.
