Manistee National Forest Condon Lakes West Semi-Primitive Nonmotorized Area

Check with your local ranger district for current site conditions, closures, and other important considerations before traveling. You do not need to pay a fee or obtain a permit to dispersed camp (outside of a designated campground) on the Huron-Manistee National Forests. Dispersed and Primitive tent camping within the Forests is allowed almost anywhere, unless otherwise posted closed and/or "No Camping." There is no dispersed camping within 200’ ft of a river, lake, stream, or other body of water. Developed campgrounds usually provide bathrooms, fire rings and picnic tables, and may provide other amenities.
Developed campgrounds most likely charge a fee, and several campgrounds require or recommend a reservation. Reservations can be made on recreation.gov.
You can gather firewood for a campfire on-forest without a wood permit to cut firewood. Buy or collect firewood locally to prevent the spread of insects and disease. Before having a campfire, check to make sure there are no fire restrictions in place. Do not build a campfire in hazardous, dry conditions. Extinguish your campfire completely before leaving. Review important information on campfire safety. No RV hook-ups are available for water, sewage or electric at any campground. Some developed campgrounds and/or campsites can accommodate RVs, while others are better suited to tent camping.
