Dispersed campsites on Griffs back 40 and Griff's River Lot are great locations for vacationing on Torch Lake, about 1 mile form the lake.

This was our favorite hipcamp so far! Bills land is stunning and huge - and you can basically set up camp on top of the hill, the base of the hill, or in the woods. Felt like dispersed camping with the added security of knowing someone was nearby lol. Bill came to check on us when we drove in and made sure we were all set. It felt secluded despite there being one other group camping. The directions are tough to figure out since it basically just tells you to take a drive off of Zimmerman road a mile in, of which there are many. We’d recommend finding this place in the daylight, but once you find it it is glorious. The Porta potty was very clean and there was plenty of scattered firewood!

Griff'sRiver Lot
We thought the spot was great. It’s a large wide campsite between the road and river. It’s completely private. . it is right off the road but you are a mile from the most beautiful lake and have a private river side dock you can hang on for privacy. No frills but perfect for us. Not heavily wooded but it’s perfect for sleeping in between days on the water. We could drop right in with our boards and paddle right to the lake in 20 minutes. Thanks! We will be back.
