Dispersed Camping in Michigan's National Forests
Dispersed Camping in Michigan's National Forests
Do you want to get away from other campers? Get out into the national forests in Michigan, where there are more than 90,000 acres of land to hunt down free, dispersed camping locations.

Great video man thank you
How can you find these two track roads? Are they on normal maps? Thanks!
Where does one find these maps of the trail roads and camping areas
Great Video! We will have to check this out on our upcoming summer trip. We have a Jeep Wrangler, so it seems like it would make it up 2 track ok 🙂 Thanks for sharing 👍🏻
I’m actually on my way to Traverse City to visit my dad tomorrow. I wish I could venture away and get into more woods. The wife is always dragging me to Macinac Island. Don’t get me wrong, It’s beautiful, and one of my favorite places…. but do we have to go every year to see the 18 fudge shops? lol
Great video. It is nice to get away from it all. Thanks for sharing!
Thanks for sharing friend, much obliged.
I drive in a front wheel drive sedan are these roads able to be navigated with that?
I just found you guys a couple of weeks ago and have been watching your Michigan State Parks series. I’m originally from Michigan and come back and visit when I can. Your videos are very good and offer a lot of information. You’re making my trip planning much easier. Thank you M
Greetings from Montague where the manistee national forest is my "backyard" per say. Nice to see videos about the forest.
If you continued down the two track would you end up high on the banks of the pine river? Was there a creek with beaver dams near your campsite? That place looks super familiar think i might have camped there a couple years back, but down by the creek.
One of my favorite things about Michigan. Headed out this weekend with the boys.
Have you ever stayed at the stare forest in sndford Michigan I just did it was nice.
I’m curious how you find the roads to check out? Do you use an atlas or an app? Do you ever need to fill out a permit for dispersed camping? What do you look for in a camping spot for dispersed camping? I’ve never done it but I sure want to! 🙂
And you can enjoy being in the middle of nowhere with horseflys from hell and those little fucking gnats that get everywhere lmao. Totally nitpicking, dispersed camping is really amazing
That’s fantastic. It’s getting so this is the only way to find a peaceful camping experience. I’ll bet you have some stories which started like “we thought were miles away from anyone then all of a sudden…”
You can also disperse camp on state forest too. Not just national Forest
Have you ever felt in danger from other 2 legged animals out there? if you know what I mean. Always wanted to try dispersed camping.
We did a recon trip on the very bottom edge of the forest today. Some great options for our 19foot TT.
Makes we want to pack up now and try Manistee. Nice video!
