Shelley Lake is a 15-acre lake, surrounded by National Forest land, the family-style campground is the only access to the lake. A foot-bridge over the creek leads to one of the sites. This campground is very popular during fishing season. Sites are surrounded by an oak and maple forest. The lake is only 15-feet at its deepest point.
From White Cloud - Travel north on M-37 for 10 miles. Turn right and travel east on FR 5450 for .5 miles. Follow the primitive road to the site.
Cool campground back in the woods. Limited spots available, but that means not a whole lot of action, which meant quiet sleep. Vault toilet is a little sketchy, but it's there for use when in need. If looking for a rustic campsite away from the hustle and bustle, then this is not a bad stay at all.
The island group last weekend had an all out party! You'd think it'd be kids. Their were little kids! As the adults started the party at 10 pm ( start of quiet time)! And the terrible music and screaming over the music went on till about 2:45 am! My son asked if we could leave around 1;(. Dont come here at all!!! A shame, it's beautiful;(
This looks to be a great camping spot on a nice small lake with a boat launch and plenty of forest to explore.
Good place for camping. Although a little close to the highway so you don't get a very quiet environment. Also assumed it would be a free spot because it's the National Forest, however it has a $10 fee. Campsite #3 is a walk in surrounded by water, very cool spot.
