Betsie River Campsite

About

Camping as if it were long, long ago...but not too long. Pop open your lawn chair and relax by the crackling fire. Most sites have room for 4 folks, a camper or tent, and a boat. We have a tiny cafe, a small playground, a fish station, warm showers, and bike/kayak rentals! Hop on the Betsie Valley Trail for a 3-mile adventure to ice cream, beaches, shops...so much! We are not a big concrete pad RV park; we are a nice small family-owned campsite. We try and keep it quiet and calm (but still fun!) If you are looking for the far North Electric Forest, this is not the place. What we are is a great base camp for all your awesome Northern Michigan adventures!
