Flowing Well Campground

6 campsites on the river. Pit toilet. Bring your own water. No RV hook-ups. No hook-ups in general. ATV friendly. Pet friendly. Firepits with grated grill top. Picnic tables at each site. $24.00 a night. Campsites 3, 4, and 5 are pull through. Campsites 1 and 2 are first come first serve. We stayed and loved it. Tent camped. It has bugs because it's outside... Pit toilet was clean. Water spigot was missing so bring your own water or filter system for the river. You can cut downed wood so bring chainsaw or an ax. We bought wood in Manistique on the side of the road. Faint road noise, but wasn't a big deal. Close to ATV trail access. Camp hosts greeted us on our first day, super friendly. It's rustic camping. If you are into that then I highly recommend this spot.

The area is beautiful and the sites are nice, bad mosquitos so plan accordingly. Really disappointed in the upkeep, USF contracts with vista recreation to maintain it but they aren’t doing much. User stated last year the water was broken, it’s still broken. Stayed a whole week, and they only refilled the toilet paper once, it was out by the third day during a holiday weekend. Luckily I had my own. No trash, a small trash can by the day use area, all the campers piled their bags up around it and it stunk. For the money it should be better.

My wife and I stayed here with our two dogs on Memorial Day weekend 2022. The campground was well maintained. The sites were not packed together, but we could still see our neighbors. The campground is near a road, but traffic was minimal during the day and almost non-existent at night. Each site has a picnic table and fire ring; the fire ring has a grill you could swing to hang off the side and leave the pit open or set over the fire for cooking and boiling water. The restroom was a single-occupancy vault toilet. It was clean and odors were not an issue. The picnic area had a couple picnic tables and grills. Additionally, there was a spigot but I either did not know how to operate it or the spigot was broken. We ended up getting water from the flowing well and filtered/boiled before use to be safe. Water from the well was clear, but smelled slightly of sulfur. The surrounding area is marshland, so bugs and mosquitoes are heavily present. A good fire will keep the bugs away and a little bit of bug spray will pretty much eliminate issues with the pests. Some maps of the campground show 10 sites, but the campground only has 6 sites.

We camped with tents for 3 days. We had 4 tents, we were 7 people, and we had plenty of space. The background noise of the river is nice but during the day you will hear the trucks passing through the nearby road. No showers and no lumber sold at the place, although you could self serve buy lumber 10 mins away by car going north on road NF-13. Mosquitoes were pretty bad in August.

Great small campground with u-shaped drives for each site so you can pull thru. Bathroom was very clean. River behind sites is pretty cool, but maybe a warning should be posted about the fast current for those who may bring children.
