Bear Track Campground

This is a first come first serve CG but we were so early we were the only ones there. Located at the end of several gravel roads the sites are clean and well maintained.

Good fire rings and posts with hooks for drying fishing gear are at each site. The sites had been blown free of leaves and were clean and neat as were the pit toilets.

The water pump was sans handle but we had brought plenty anyway.

The area is beautiful and right next to the Little Manistee!

No running water.
No electricity.

No flush toilets.

No internet.
No phone signal.

Pure heaven.

Rustic campsites. 50-100 yards from the river. Great water from the pump. Nice clean vault toilet. Very quiet at night. Peaceful and beautiful. We've gone ever year for the last 5 years. Going again next year.

Highly recommend a satellite-based GPS unit like Garmin or TomTom in your car. I was serious when I said no phone signal so Google Maps ain't gonna' get you there.

We tent camped here for a week, we are people who love the quiet the rustic and the simple when it comes to camping and this place checked those boxes. centrally located for hiking in the national forest or fishing and not far for a beach day, the $24 a night felt well spent.

The little manistee river is down a small ridge along the backside of the campground, by the group site there is kayak and canoe launch. Vault toilets clean and serviced daily and seriously the silence at night when there was strangely no wind, no bugs, pure silence outside, was amazingly eerie. We also heard a wolf pack howling multiple nights.

Absolutely would stay again. If you want to throw down and be loud or need a lot of amenities this isnt for you

I stayed just one night, but would happily come back. Nice setting, good site size, and close locations for water and bathrooms. Each site has a campfire ring and picnic table with cooktop extension. Sites are quite flat and all well shaded.
