I do not believe there is a campground on the lake.

Haven't had a chance to get up that way yet, but I do know that Torch lake looks amazing.

Are you able to find a camp ground on the lake itself? I quick look at Good Sam Club trip planner doesn't look like any camp grounds are actually on the shore of the lake.

Boondocking in Manistee National Forest

Post by camper79 » January 18th, 2015, 8:42 pm

Looking at starting to plan a trip for the spring.

I would like to head up to Manistee and stay at the Lake Michigan Recreation Area for one night and then scout some boondocking locations. Considering staying for a night or two in the woods and then heading up to torch lake.

Anybody have any recommendations for Manistee dispersed camping? Is this different than primitive camping?
