Pinney Bridge sits in forested terrain near campsites near Mancelona, managed by the state as part of Michigan's state forest system. Access requires more effort than most drive-in campgrounds: the nearest parking is roughly 700 yards away and 50 feet below the campground elevation, making the carry-in real work. Sites run $15 per night, with drinking water, toilets, picnic tables, and trash service provided. Pets are welcome. The campground suits campers prepared for a loaded hike to the site.
