Hiking through Manistee National Forest brings campers past Green Road Site, a free, drive-in spot managed by the US Forest Service outside Ludington, Michigan. The road can run soft after rain, so high-clearance vehicles have an advantage. Campsites sit elevated above the road, and firewood is available on-site. Summer weekends draw crowds, so weekday visits tend to offer more solitude. Cell service is available, and pets are welcome. This site works best for tent campers and day hikers traveling light.
