Government Landing Sites Campground

Government Landing Sites Campground offers 3 primitive campsites with picnic tables, fire rings, and a vault toilet, providing free first-come, first-served camping along the Upper Manistee River in Manistee National Forest.

Direct boat ramp access makes it ideal for paddlers, kayakers, and anglers, though visitors must bring their own water. The campground operates April 1–November 30, with the access road doubling as a snowmobile trail in winter.
