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.

Site 2- Griff's Back 40
I went with my partner and dog for the first time at Back 40 and had a great time! It wasn’t crowded and seemed to have plenty of spots, both at the towers and in the woods. We chose to camp at the lower tower and it was perfect, so peaceful and clean. Only saw Bill once when we arrived as he welcomed us and that’s all we needed, he let us know about the wood and water and then let us be on our own. The portable toilet was clean and stocked which is greatly appreciated! There’s public access spots to Torch Lake not too far and a cute little grocery store “next door.” Got exactly what we came there for, peace and a reset from our city life. Would definitely come back!

Site 3 - Griffs Back 40
Our camping experience here was phenomenal. The campsite offered plenty of space and was clean and well-maintained. There were numerous wooded areas to explore, and Torch Lake was just a 10-minute drive away. Conveniently, a mini market is located about 5 minutes from the site, perfect for picking up any forgotten items. Bill, presumably the campground manager, kindly checked in on us to ensure everything was satisfactory. His thoughtfulness was much appreciated. This campground will definitely be my go-to spot for future visits to the Torch Lake area.

River Lot
The tent site is only somewhat secluded. There was a fair amount of traffic noise in the daytime, especially, from a nearby bridge, and the occasional car drove right past the tent site, but when we walked the very short wooden deck trail to the water, it felt very private. The host is a very cool guy and there were lots of fun extras at the river lot like kayaks, corn hole boards, and a swing. The toilet was super clean! The ground is sandy and comfortable. We enjoyed our stay.

I had a great time camping here. The spot we were at had a great view of the land and was very quiet.

This was a great property for watching the sunset from the top of the hill. Each spot is really private and the woods are whimsical. My husband and I enjoyed our stay.
