About this site

Nestled on the Manistique River, this rustic campground offers exceptional paddling and fishing adventures. Nine sites accommodate tents and small trailers, offering a range of experiences. Riverfront sites (1-4) provide immediate access to the water and picturesque views, while the remaining sites are perched on a bluff. A boat launch is located on the Manistique River within the campground. Drivers must use a narrow wooden bridge to access the boat launch. Amenities include vault toilets and potable water from a hand-pump well. Sites available on a first-come, first-served basis. No reservations. Overnight fees ($20 for most sites) and registration procedures are posted at the information kiosk. Camping is limited to a 15-day maximum stay. One camping unit and six people are allowed per site. Additional Info: There is a boat launch on the northeast side of the campground for launching small watercrafts, kayaks and canoes. Use caution while navigating across the narrow wooden bridge. The operation of an ORV and snowmobile between the campground and nearby trails is allowed. Trail 8 is adjacent to the campground. This campground provides access to state land open to hunting.
