Bray Creek State Forest Campground

Only part I didn't like was no potties for you youngster we had to leave sooner. Was very pleased in the area took soon good pictures of Grandson and I

Cute little spot in the woods. Decent size sites and trails to walk, just watch for the fallen trees. Close enough to stores to get those 'oh I forgot to pack...' items and of course, coffee. Also a cute creek running along side the site.

Love the place, but thank you to the lady who was just here who took my dog and cat food and my cats leash. I drove 8 hours to visit with my kids and brought their kitty, and now their kitties leash is gone. So FYI, if you stay here, don't expect anything of yours to be still here if you run to the store, which is 5 minutes away. Thanks for taking my kids' leash for their kitty!!! I guess that's what I get for thinking a few small things would be okay, and no one would touch it. What happened when people would just leave what is not theirs alone!?

Gorgeous place to camp in late Fall (late October) Trees are on fire! Unfortunately, several of the campsites have widow makers hanging over them. Look up before setting up camp! The site at the very back is my favorite, but it has two dead trees just begging to be cut down for camp firewood. If it wasn't for that, I'd probably given this place a 5, but those monster dead trees are killers waiting to happen!

Bray Creek State Forest Campground, nestled along the picturesque banks of the Baldwin River, is a rustic haven for outdoor enthusiasts.

Nearby Leverentz Lakes and the Pere Marquette River offer additional fishing spots to explore. Hiking enthusiasts will also find their stride here, as the Pine Forest Pathway presents a 0.90-mile trail for exploration. One of the campground's unique attractions is its proximity to ORV trails and routes, including options like Little O/Big O, Tin Cup Springs, and Little Manistee. However, keep in mind that while you can ride ORVs from the campsite to access these routes, all other ORV use within the campground is prohibited. Winter adventurers will appreciate that the campground remains open all year round. Yet, be aware that the campground and seasonal roads are not plowed, ensuring a true winter camping experience.
