With electric hookups and pull-through sites, Manton Trails RV Park offers a convenient base for exploring northern Michigan's outdoor recreation. The privately managed campground sits on forested terrain near the Manistee River, with nightly rates ranging from $25-$55. Reservations are available for those planning ahead.
The campground maintains clean facilities that consistently earn praise from visitors. The large bathhouse provides hot showers with strong water pressure, while spacious sites offer room for RVs and tent camping. Fire pits come standard with each site, and firewood is available on-site. Several reviewers highlight the cleanliness and maintenance standards, with one noting the facility is "clean and well maintained."
Direct access to ORV trails eliminates the need to trailer vehicles to trailheads, making this a practical choice for off-road enthusiasts. The location also serves as a staging point for Manistee River canoeing trips. Saturday evenings feature live music performances that can be heard from campsites. Walking areas provide space for exercising pets and stretching legs.
Jen L. found the experience compelling enough that she "booked two nights and had to request a third." For those exploring the broader region, sites around Fife Lake provide additional options. Book ahead during peak season when trail riders and festival-goers increase demand.
