Accessible via an unmarked two-track road that challenges some vehicles, this free Forest Service campground provides six sites within Manistee National Forest. The US Forest Service manages the property with basic amenities including toilets and trash service, though pets are not permitted.
Access conditions require careful consideration, as one reviewer noted difficulty understanding how larger RVs reached the sites. The campground operates without registration requirements, and the remote location means campers should prepare for primitive conditions. Fishing opportunities exist nearby, making this spot suitable for anglers comfortable with rustic accommodations and challenging road access.
Description
This area is very popular for mushroom and berry picking, as well as hunting, fishing and camping.
