Customer Reviews
Great little camp ground, tons of trails and things to do, river runs the whole campground and along the whole trail. Bring a fishing pole and a small spinner and the trout will love you
It was our first time staying here. We rode the Harley up and staying 2 nights in our tent. We had the river next to us. It was great. The trail was fun too! There is some good swimming spots for kids in the river by the camp sites Sandy bottom shallow water. The only down side was a group of other campers. They were very loud long into the night even after midnight. It nearly ruined the stay.
We’ve been coming to Silver Creek for over a decade and we still love it. It’s a beautiful, rustic campground that has the Pine River right next to it. It’s pretty popular with folks tubing and kayaking. Toilets are vault and aren’t terrible. The section of the North Country Trail that comes through makes for a beautiful morning hike, watching the forest wake up and come to life. If you’re looking for something quiet and relaxing, this is PARTIALLY it. The sites are pretty private but the traffic can get heavy on weekends with sunny/warm weather with folks coming in for day trips on the river. The nights are quiet and the bridge is a nice spot to lay and watch for shooting stars.
Nice rustic campground located on the Pine River just north of Luther, MI. 26 campsites which are first come first serve. No reservation option on MI DNR site. There is a hiking trail along this beautiful river, which is great for kayaking or canoeing and fishing. No cellular network connection in this valley area. If you go to higher ground you can get a signal if needed. Wildlife and hilly pine forests. Could hear coyotes howling at the moon in the distance late at night.
Great place to camp with friends and family. Very clean and well kept. Great prices. Two sets of outhouses kept clean. Trash dumpster available and extra parking. Two small bridges and plenty of trails. Working water pump. Quiet and peaceful. Nice fire pits. My favorite part is the pine river and the silver creek. We enjoyed swimming and tubing there. We did not want to leave.
If you're looking for a rustic camping site, this is your place! It has a stunning view of the Pine River, and if you enjoy outdoor recreation, the Manistee National Forest is right there. This is truly a gorgeous and genuinely well maintained campground, with a quiet atmosphere that lends to a beautiful escape from daily life.
