Green Lake Rustic Campground

Green Lake Rustic Campground offers a serene escape where the gentle lapping of waves meets the rustling of oak and maple leaves, creating a quintessential Michigan camping experience.

This secluded campground features 25 rustic sites nestled along the shores of Green Lake, providing campers with direct access to fishing, kayaking, and swimming opportunities. The large, well-spaced sites offer a sense of privacy, while the lack of modern amenities ensures a true back-to-nature experience. A hand pump for water and vault toilets are the extent of on-site facilities, maintaining the campground's rustic charm.

Located within the expansive Waterloo Recreation Area, just 6 miles north of Chelsea, Green Lake Rustic Campground serves as an ideal base for exploring over 20,000 acres of diverse ecosystems. Hikers and mountain bikers can access the Waterloo-Pinckney Trail directly from the campground, while wildlife enthusiasts will appreciate the abundant bird watching and occasional deer sightings.

The campground's peaceful atmosphere and proximity to nature make it perfect for weekend getaways or extended vacations focused on outdoor recreation and relaxation. For those seeking a taste of local culture, the charming town of Chelsea, known for its vibrant arts scene and the Purple Rose Theatre, is just a short drive away.
