Reed & Green Bridge State Forest Campground

Rustic in Michigan's UP

Looking for a small rustic campground in a Michigan state forest along the Two Hearted River? This campground is located approximately 30 minutes north of the town of Newberry so make sure you bring the supplies you need. Reed and Green only has four sites available making you feel like you are in a very peaceful natural setting.  Sites are small and will only accommodate small trailers or tents so no big RVs should consider this campground and come with fire pits and picnic tables. All sites are on a first-come, first-serve basis with the only amenities being vault toilets and potable water from well hand pump. There is a self-pay station as you drive making it easy and convenient. 

Recreational activities are what you would expect in the middle of an awesome state forest where hiking, fishing, paddling, wildlife viewing and off roading abound. The great thing is this campground connects to the North Country National Scenic Trail – the longest National Scenic Trail in the country. Remember this park is operated by the Michigan DNR so a Recreation Passport is required which certainly increases the price and may not be worth it if you are only here a short time. Lake Muskallonge State Park is nearby if you need to buy firewood, pay for showers or a dump station, or are looking for an alternative camping area. If you feel like taking a drive, head over to Tahquamenon Falls State Park which is 50K acres and full of amazing waterfalls (they also have camping but it fills up fast in the summer).
