Situated within Hiawatha National Forest near Hovey Lake, this free dispersed site in Wetmore, Michigan functions primarily as an equine trailhead, making it a practical base for horse-friendly camping trips into the national forest. Amenities are minimal. Toilets are on-site, campfires are permitted, and pets are welcome, but campers should plan to bring everything else. Hovey Lake Campsites sits just northeast for those who want a nearby alternative. The site works best for equestrians and self-sufficient campers comfortable with dispersed-style conditions.
