Fishing, paddling, and trail access draw campers to this US Forest Service campground in Manistee National Forest, which runs from mid-May through the end of September. Wildlife viewing is part of the draw as well. The campground sits near Driftwood Valley, a day-use area roughly half a mile to the west, giving campers easy access to additional recreation along that corridor.
