East Zone

Nestled in the heart of the Upper Peninsula, the East Zone offers a truly immersive wilderness experience for those looking to disconnect. Spanning the region between the shores of Lake Superior and the waters of Lakes Michigan and Huron, this site provides a unique opportunity to explore the diverse landscapes that define the Great Lakes area. The terrain reflects the raw, natural beauty of Northern Michigan, making it an ideal destination for outdoor enthusiasts who appreciate a remote and quiet setting.

As a federal campground managed by the USFS, this location focuses on providing a primitive experience.
