Quiet little place

Self registration for $15 per night. Small campground located on Lake Ann. I think only 1 or 2 sites have water access or views, the rest of the campground is mostly wooded. Picnic tables and fire rings at each site, and pit toilets located in the middle of the circle grounds. The boat launch for the lake is only a few short minutes up the road.

Rustic Camp Overlooking Lake Ann

This rustic campground is setteled on a ridge overlooking Lake Ann. Camp offers outhouses and water hand pumps. Previous times I've been here we could beach our boat right on the shoreline down from camp. Across the the road from the campground is the Lake Ann Pathway which offers hiking through forested hills, along the Platte river, and along the shore of a small scenic lake. Located only a couple miles from the village of Lake Ann, you're only about 20 minutes from traverse city, and 30 minutes from the world famous sleeping bear dunes.
