Take I-94 to exit 159, M-52 Chelsea. Go north on M-52 for 5 miles. Entrance will be on the left.
The 25 sites are large and spread out and some of them are secluded. Each site has a metal fire pit, picnic table, and plenty of space for several tents. The camp ground has 3 pit toilets, which were pretty clean considering. Spots 3, 5, and 7 overlook the lake.
Nice rustic campground. About 25 official campsites, all rustic. Plus a rentable yurt.
Each site has a fire ring and picnic bench. They have a water pump and two vault (his and hers) toilets in the campground - around site 8 and the yurt.
About a quarter of the sites are on the lake.
The campground is about a half mile from the Waterloo-Pinckney trail. There is an external parking site on the trail, right outside the campground. Easy access right off highway 52.
Not sure if it's official, but i've parked there 10-12 times for overnight trips between Silver Lake (Pinckney headquarters) and Green Lake or Green Lake to The Pines Campground and back.
It's 12-14 miles from Silver Lake, 7 miles from Blind Lake, 11.5 from the Pines.
Great campground if you're ok with rustic camping (no electricity, water, sewage on site.
Okay sites with no extras. Someone out there in an RV ran their generator all night long. Rude!
Our site (5) was dirt and a table. It got fairly muddy after the rain. For the same cost, we'll get a hotel room next time.
A 20 dollar camp site cost 50 bucks by the time I was done!
20 bucks for the site. 8 bucks to reserve it online. 11 bucks per vehicle!
The only reason it cost us so much is because we did the right thing and paid on the honor system. No one would have any clue if we paid the vehicle fees or not.
No one checked on us. No one would even know we were there if I didn't submit this review.
This is a great little rustic campground on a lake. The only complaint I have is, we were told not to bring fire wood from outside. And they don't sell wood on site. So we still had to go buy wood from an outside vendor and bring it in. Other than that it is a great little state campground and we highly recommend!
Large sites! A few had Lakeviews. I love that the waterloo-pickney trail system is so close! There was roughly 25ish sites and 2 vault toilets.
