Mead Creek State Forest Campground

This is an awesome campground. I think it has 9 sites total. It is mostly for canoeists, but access by road is possible, and that is what I did. Usually I shun taking gravel roads, preferring to hike in at that point, but I decided to try the drive. The 5 miles in 2017 were easy: the road was in excellent shape. So you have a campground with no lake, no electricity, a dirt road, serving canoeists: it's idyllic. You can swim a bit in the river (it's cold and watch out for the current) but the sites are pristine and it is really quiet here. Some sites (1, 2, 3) overlook the river, the others are in the woods. At the risk of revealing a secret find, I have to say, this is a great campground. If you can do without the lake, and if you are really about connecting with nature, this place is for you. Please leave it as clean as you found it. And please, don't burn plastic! Clean up what trash you find (especially plastic) whenever, wherever you go for a walk. A final note: as with any campground in the U.P., be prepared for mosquitoes.
