Campground Overview

About Flowing Well Campground

What sets Flowing Well Campground apart is its tranquil riverside setting along the Sturgeon River in Michigan's Hiawatha National Forest, offering a perfect blend of natural beauty and recreational opportunities. With fewer than a dozen campsites, including some overlooking the slow-moving river, this destination is ideal for those seeking quiet solitude, excellent fishing, and serene non-motorized boating.

The campground features well-maintained amenities such as picnic tables, campfire rings, grills, accessible vault toilets, and drinking water, although the well water's strong iron and sulfur taste may require an adventurous spirit. With its towering trees, colorful wildflowers, and proximity to the Sturgeon River Canoe Trail, campers can enjoy first-class paddling experiences or cast a line for brook trout, steelhead, and salmon. While mostly secluded, the campground is easily accessible, located just 10 miles from Lake Michigan's northern shore and a short drive from Rapid River.

Only two miles off Forest Highway 13, Flowing Well Campground offers quick access to the picturesque Sturgeon River Canoe Trail, where visitors can paddle through 41 miles of lush forestland. It’s not just a camping spot—it’s a gateway to Michigan's Upper Peninsula wilderness, perfect for weekend getaways, fishing trips, or leisurely explorations.
