| drivingDirection |
From Rapid River, Michigan, take U.S. 2/Lakeshore Drive east for 16 miles, then continue north on Forest Highway 13 for 2 miles. |
| facilitiesDescription |
The campground offers less than a dozen spacious sites for tent and RV camping. Some sites are situated along the bank, overlooking the slow-moving river. Each site is equipped with tables and campfire rings, and most come equipped with grills as well. Accessible vault toilets and drinking water are provided. The water from the well has a heavy iron and sulfur content, which is an acquired taste, but is safe to consume. A group picnic area is also equipped with tables and campfire rings with grills. It is adjacent to a good-sized parking area. Vault toilets and drinking water are also available. |

The campground is sandwiched between Forest Highway 13 and the Sturgeon River, in the lower portion of Michigan's Upper Peninsula. It is about 10 miles from the northern shores of Lake Michigan. The region is dotted with wildflowers and mature trees. |

The area is most popular for canoeing and other non-motorized boating, as the Sturgeon River Canoe Trail runs right through the campground.

Fishing is also popular, with brook trout, steelhead and salmon found in the river. |
