Minutes outside Baldwin, Mi., Bowman Bridge is out in the middle of nowhere. Which, if you like that kind of camping, is awesome. It is a small campground without much shade on the sites."
"Add easy access to the Pere Marquette River to sling a streamer at some beasty browns and it's a great place to spend a weekend."
$30 - $90 / night

"We found ourselves down a dead end dirt road and had to drive back out around town. Once here we discovered a wonderful campground. "
"Our family had two sites next to each other and it seemed like half an acre! Some very uneven areas. Quiet time was strictly observed, camp manager was helpful and watchful."
"Very rustic and walk-in only, but great place to get away for a bit. Barely any people as well. Make sure you bring bug spray"
"Great little camp spot right off the lake. You have to hike in to the camp locations but its not bad."

"Our plan just to find an inexpensive and wild camp and road trip to explore northern Michigan ."
"We are accustomed to very rustic camping and prefer to be distanced from our neighbors. Walkup camp is a really sweet campground except for the noise from the very close by road."
ScoutManton RV Campground is a place you want to include on your camping travels. Owner was very friendly and would swing by to see if we needed anything
Bath house was very nice with plenty of hot showers with great water pressure. That’s a number one seller for me, that and if they are clean, which they were. There is plenty of walking area to get some exercise for yourself and dogs.
I would highly recommend making this campground one to park your camper at!!!👍
TravelerA hidden gem near Cadillac. It’s nice and quiet and clean, bathrooms aren’t too far from campsites. Electrical hookups are provided and fire pits. We even got free firewood. Fun visit! The campground has a lot of activities to offer too as well as live bands.
ScoutWe came for the weekend and loved it. So glad I found this campground!
ScoutWe love this place!! We’ve been back multiple times and always feel at home! The NCT is further from the river and a bit hilly, but the MRT sites are nicer :)
LegendThis place looks impressive at first as you drive in through closely packed seasonal campers.... But it improves dramatically as you drive over the hill and into the hollow where there are nicely spaced sites scattered across a field with a great playground and a path to Bass Lake. The best thing by far is the dual access to the STUNNING beach on Lake Michigan. You can paddle through Bass Lake and into the river straight down to the dam at the big lake, where you are met with beautiful dunes and a little swimming hole. The rivers confluence with Lake Michigan makes the water warmer there, and the lake water is so clear. The sand is a beautiful fine white. Amazing. You can also walk there down a quiet street, about 3/4 mile. Take a right out of the campground and the your first left. The other beach isn't as scenic. Loved this place and the quaint surrounding area
LegendWe stayed 3 nights in April on our way to Mackinaw. Our site was #21. Site backed up to the woods but was open on front and sides. This is a large campground with daily, seasonal, primitive, newer sites. Our site needed leveling but was not bad. It was before season started so amenities were not available yet. The resort has 3 pools, hot tub, nice store with pizza & ice cream. It was quiet in April but I'm sure summer is busy. We had a great pizza & ice cream at the store. Locally there is a few lighthouses, parks, views of Lake Michigan. Ludington Bay Brewing was an excellent place for dinner and a drink.
ScoutGreat campsite with trails nearby and amazing fishing opportunities! Close to Baldwin!
ScoutThis spot is wonderful, but boy howdy does it live up to its name. If you do not have AWD and good ground clearance, don’t even try to get there.
ScoutArrived to the campsite around 5pm, everything was fantastic. Fire pit, and large open, wooded area all to ourselves. We loved it. However, once we got a fire lit, and the sunlight started to leave for the night we heard a pack of coyotes nearby. Deciding to press on, we shrugged it off hoping this was just a one off. 3 hours later, we hear them again. Only, this time we could tell they were even closer. We decided to head to the car and reevaluate our plan, but decided to stay a little longer before calling it quits. Not 30 mins later, the coyotes were back again, but even closer. They were less than 100 yards away from us, and we had no choice but to stay in our tent, and wait for them to pass while holding our protection in hand. We decided it was time to pack up and leave this time.
Please be aware, when camping here you may be in coyote territory, and they don’t seem to like it. So, maybe not a great spot for kids, or smaller pets.
