Surrounded by the beauty of the wilderness, individuals can enjoy a sense of peace and solitude, providing an excellent opportunity for relaxation and rejuvenation. Away from the noise and distractions of modern life, campers can truly unwind, breathe in the fresh air, and appreciate the simple pleasures that nature has to offer. Furthermore, camping near the Manistee River, renowned for its exceptional fly fishing, provides a unique experience for fishing enthusiasts. The river's pristine waters offer abundant opportunities to catch various species of fish, including trout and salmon. Fly fishing in this picturesque setting not only presents an exciting challenge but also allows individuals to develop their angling skills and reconnect with nature. The rhythmic casting of the fly line and the anticipation of a bite create a sense of thrill and satisfaction.

Great place to camp! Awesome river views and easy access with a private staircase down to the water. ORV trails and state land nearby made it perfect for exploring. Definitely recommend.

A Great Getaway Spot

This is a great place to get away and relax. Situated in the woods the site sits up above the river offering a great view. Stairs make the walk to the river edge very easy, Camp site itself is very large with picnic table and fire pit. A real plus is the availability of electric and water. There is also a sewer connection if needed. While there are some houses in the vicinity, overall is the feeling of being by yourself in the woods. We stayed in a 30' motorhome and will definitely consider staying here again.

Kayaking trip on the Manistee

32 ft travel trailer ·

Prime & Private RV/Camper Pad

We had a wonderful time camping right on the east shore of the Manistee River. The property was beautiful and putting in a kayaks, paddling down the river to the next bridge was very easy. It was about a 2-hour trip and we did that twice the first day. The second day we put in and went down to highway 72 and we floated for 7 hours. The site had a full hookup along with water and electric. Level on our camper was no issue and there was plenty of room. There's actually two sites we only used one. Very remote and Tony was extremely helpful and very accommodating. We will definitely be going back for the next kayaking trip to the same property.

Absolutely loved this place! Full hookup in the middle of the woods, and on the river! We have a travel trailer and can never find that ‘perfect’ spot. Campgrounds are nice but too crowded with neighbors right next to you. This was literally like owning up north property and camping on it. 100% will go back!

The view of the Manistee river was really beautiful. Sitting at dusk with a fire roaring and looking at the Manistee was awesome. However, we were there during the weekend so it became a nice location for people watching. The site is near a launch point of the Manistee river so at times a lot of people will float by. Listening to the river at night made up for all the daytime activity. The only real draw back was the site is not setup for full hookup of an RV. There is a small gravel drive that you can back into. Since our dining table is on drivers side we could look out the windows on to the Manistee. The water and electric are 50 feet to the right and the sewer is 50 feet uphill to the left. Luckily the circle drive is close and high enough for gravity to drain the tanks. However, unless you have a least 100 feet of hose it is a dry dump station. All and all we were able to really enjoy our time there even with the little set backs.

We loved the location & having the river so close was a big bonus! Tony was very responsive & helpful. We were able to kayak in the Manistee lake nearby and down the manistee river the next day. Definitely recommend this wonderful spot to anyone looking for relaxation and outdoor adventures! We'll definitely be back!

Overall we had a great time! The location of the pad was not ideal for a truck and trailer - backing it in caused the door to not face the campsite.

One Night Stay in Truck Tent

Prime & Private RV/Camper Pad

Overall we had a great experience. Unfortunately, the site was closer to a few houses and didn’t feel as private as we expected. The fire pit was great, a suggestion would be to keep the supplied fire wood covered in case of rain. We were higher on the riverbank than expected, but the stairs made access easy. If you have a tent you will be able to camp right on the site. However, if you have a RV, camper or truck tent like us you will have to camp about 50+ feet away from the actual campsite. Having access past the gate would have made this experience even greater. Tony has a beautiful and peaceful property, and besides our suggestions we really enjoyed our time!
