Great place for trout fishing, spend 4 to 5 hours going down stream to start then worked our way back Euro nyphing both ways. Caught a bunch of small ones but several good size 14 to 16 inchers with my son was a great time.

We ended up shut out at the Lake Mich. Rec. Area, glad I remembered I stared this campground some time ago as a “wants to visit”.. what a gem of a campground! We arrived later on a Fri. eve, 9ish, only 2 other sites occupied. Was amazingly quiet and oddly mosquito free for our stay.

Area, glad I remembered I stared this campground some time ago as a “wants to visit”.. what a gem of a campground! We arrived later on a Fri. eve, 9ish, only 2 other sites occupied. Was amazingly quiet and oddly mosquito free for our stay. We sat on the last spot next to the public parking for the boat launch, no noise issues, everyone pulling through was respectful. Sites are very good size. We had a pop up with enough ground space for multiple tents if wanted. There is also a large group site area for that family reunion camping fun. Maybe 30 well maintained stairs get you down to the awesome little boat launch into Little Manistee. Sturdy rope swing as well if your adventurous. It’s a Federal campground, no host on site but they do travel through early in the day. Clean vault toilets, well maintained.

Awesome little campground. Also its National Forest. I feel Nat Forest Campgrounds are kept up better the State AND they are cheaper.

Large group sites, zero cell signal for miles, right next to the Little Manistee River. Beautiful and secluded. Lots of kayakers on holiday weekends. Definitely recommend bringing a NWS (NWR) radio since there’s zero reception, maybe a GPS SOS device.

Great campground with a short walk tk the river. Not very busy for mid August.
