Paddlers and tubers have direct access to the Manistee River at Chippewa Landing Campground, which also operates as a canoe and tube livery. Sites provide reasonable separation from neighbors, and double sites are available for larger groups. The campground sits within the Cadillac State Forest Area, managed by the MIDNR Forest Resources Division, and includes toilets, picnic tables, firewood, and a camp store. Cell service is available. This setup works best for water-focused campers who want river access without driving to a put-in. Those exploring campgrounds near Cadillac State Forest Area will find Old US-131 State Forest Campground less than a mile to the northwest.
