Little Bass Lake campground is now a part of Michigan's dispersed camping system. No walk-ons, reservations required online. Five Sites here with sites 4 & 5 REALLY close, like 100' close, but no one was at any of the sites except me. Site #5 is scenic, nice and walking distance close to the really unimproved carry in boat launch. Or if you're good walking a steep bank with crosstie steps you can...

Site #5 is scenic, nice and walking distance close to the really unimproved carry in boat launch. Or if you're good walking a steep bank with crosstie steps you can launch from site 5. My advice, use portage wheels to the launch for your canoe or kayak, then beach it at your site for the duration of your stay. Lake is scenic, fishing is very good, and the peace & solitude gets a 9.5 out of 10.

A nice, small, quiet campground with a very beautiful lake at the edge of the campground. There were many frogs and at night we could hear loons calling to each other, it was dreamy. The campsites we're fairly close together at this campground, but we didn't have any trouble with privacy or our neighbors. Pricing was great, would camp here again!

Perfectly peaceful and beautiful. Had the campground to myself with my dog. Caught some little bass on Little Bass Lake and caught larger ones on Big Bass Lake, which is just up the road a little ways from cg, imagine that!😆😏🌲💚

If you love remote, this is the place for you. Sites 1 and 4 are a bit more private, but all are well kept! Even our 2 cats loved it!
