CAMPING IS FOR EVERYONE!

Camping is a great, year-round, and inexpensive family activity. There are many choices for sleeping in the great outdoors. Plus, most Michigan state forest campgrounds are located on a river or lake, so the fun can continue with fishing, boating and paddling.

Getting Started is Easy

All you need to get started camping is:

– Tent
– Sleeping bag or bed roll
– Outdoor stove
– Water
– Fixings for simple meals
– Insect repellent
– First-aid kit

Back to Nature

Rustic camping lets you experience the wild naturally. There’s no electricity at the campsite, and you’ll use vault toilets and hand-pumped water (no showers or flush toilets).
