Peterson Bridge Campground

What sets Peterson Bridge Campground apart is its prime location along the pristine Pine River, offering a tranquil base for outdoor adventurers seeking paddling, fishing, and hiking opportunities. With both walk-in and drive-in campsites, the campground combines rustic charm with accessibility, ensuring a variety of camping experiences.

Located within Michigan's Manistee National Forest, the campground features 31 sites, including 13 tent-only options, some of which are perched picturesquely along the riverbank. Amenities include drinking water, picnic tables, fire rings, and a mix of flush and vault toilets, all maintained to high cleanliness standards. Outdoor enthusiasts will relish the direct river access for non-motorized boating, as the Pine River is famed for its swift flow and designation as a National Wild and Scenic River. Additionally, its Blue Ribbon trout fishing opportunities attract anglers, while the nearby Manistee River Trail provides hiking options within a short drive.

Nestled just off Highway 3T south of M-55, the campground is a 10-minute drive from Wellston and surrounded by the remarkable natural beauty of the Huron-Manistee National Forest. This destination is perfect for weekend getaways, extended stays, or day trips, offering an authentic outdoor experience close to the vibrant rhythms of the Pine River and the forested landscape.
