Welcome to Bear Lake Dispersed Campsite, a unique offering within the Campgrounds & RV Parks category, providing a primitive and secluded camping experience near Manistique, Michigan. You can reach us at (906) 474-6442 or +1 906-474-6442. Our address is 2696 Rd, Manistique, MI 49854.

Bear Lake Dispersed Campsite offers a truly remote and quiet experience, being the only campsite located on Bear Lake. This makes it ideal for those seeking solitude and a peaceful retreat. The site is large enough to accommodate small groups and is easily reservable online.

The campsite includes a fire pit with a grill and a picnic table. It's a sunny spot, so bringing a canopy for shade is recommended. The site is also pet-friendly, allowing you to bring your furry companions. However, the turn into the site is tight, making it manageable for campers up to 24 feet, but not recommended for larger vehicles.

Keep in mind that this is a primitive campsite with limited amenities. There is no drinking water, garbage bins (pack out what you pack in), or toilets. Lake access can be challenging due to steep sides and heavy plant growth, although there is a spot to launch canoes or kayaks about a quarter mile down the two-track. The 2-mile trail from the main road to the site is rough and best suited for 4x4 vehicles, although some smaller cars can manage. Additionally, there is zero cell service, which can be a pro for those wanting to disconnect.

The scenery is beautiful and the atmosphere is very relaxing. However, it's crucial to have a vehicle designed for off-road conditions, as the terrain can be challenging.

Here's a summary of the pros and cons from visitors:
