Old Grade Campground Located on the Little Manistee River, this campground is completely surrounded by National Forest System land. There is a short interpretive hiking trail with foot bridges from the campground through a hemlock and birch forest. The campground is loctated near wetlands and many fields, making it an excellent area to view wildlife. Canoeing is not recommended on this portion of the river as it is very shallow, however, this area is popular with angerls seeking trout.

From Baldwin, MI, take State Rt. 37 north 11 miles to Forest Rt. 5190 and campground sign. Turn left onto Rt. 5190 and go 0.1 miles to campground on left.
Very nice campground write on a little we have no fresh water because it had not been tested you the first day there is no toilet paper in the bathroom don't like having to pay to stay on federal property that we pay taxes on but as I said the campground is very nice
Depends on what crowd your looking for. I really don’t know how they choose the hosts or why they have hosts? They all act like they own the campground. Obviously they know whoever chooses the camp host. The camp host was very rude and noisy! Two stars bc the campground is a awesome spot depending on the host mood is how good of a stay your going to have. Don’t listen to them about prices just pay what they have priced online so they don’t rip you off. If you act clueless there going to charge you for whatever they can. Sad but true.
If you’re looking for a QUIET, secluded and rustic campground, then look no further. It’s a first come first serve campground and I read online that it was not m heavily used. We drove here at 1:30am on Friday of Labor Day weekend and got an awesome spot. I couldn’t see any of the neighbors well at all, which is how I like it. There’s only like 2 sites on the water though. There’s campsites for both small campers and tents.
Only negative: the mosquitos were absolute horrid. The worst I’ve ever seen them. But I think that comes to be expected on a river.
Peaceful, secluded, and beautiful! The bathroom is a vault toilet but cleaner than most. The sites are spacious with room between each site. There are trails very close and they are beautiful to walk. I highly recommend if you are looking for somewhere to go to unplug.
