Munuscong State Forest Campgrounds

What sets the Munuscong River State Forest Campground apart is its seamless connection to the Munuscong State Wildlife Management Area, offering campers a rustic and tranquil experience surrounded by diverse ecosystems teeming with wildlife, from marshes to forested habitats. This intimate 25-site campground is designed for tent and small trailer use, providing essentials like vault toilets, potable water via a hand-pump well, picnic tables, fire pits, and a maximum stay of 15 days for genuine immersion in nature.

Located roughly 15 miles southwest of Munuscong in Michigan’s eastern Upper Peninsula, this campground is a gateway to unparalleled birding and wildlife viewing opportunities, with species like herons, wood ducks, and even sharp-tailed grouse calling the area home. Anglers can take advantage of the river for fishing, while paddlers and outdoor enthusiasts can explore the surrounding landscapes, which include grasslands, marshes, and pothole lakes formed by glacial activity. For those seeking a serene getaway, the campground’s rustic charm and proximity to nature make it a perfect choice for weekend retreats or longer stays close to Michigan’s natural heritage.
