Government Landing Campground

Government Landing Campground offers 7 primitive sites along Tippy Dam Pond's backwaters, with 5 waterfront sites and a boat ramp for paddlers and anglers.

Sites include picnic tables and fire rings with vault toilets nearby, though no potable water is available; reservations are required Memorial Day through Labor Day, while off-season camping is free and first-come, first-served.

The spacious, scenic sites accommodate vehicles up to 20 feet and provide access to excellent fishing and boating opportunities on the Manistee River.
