Gleasons Landing

Gleasons Landing is a premier destination for those seeking a true connection with nature along the banks of the Pere Marquette River. As Michigan's first National Scenic River, the area offers a serene backdrop defined by shaded, secluded sites and the soothing sounds of flowing water. This free, year-round federal campground provides an accessible escape for outdoor enthusiasts looking to immerse themselves in the Great Lakes region's natural beauty.

The campground is well-equipped for a rustic experience, featuring essential amenities including fire rings and picnic tables at each site. Guests have direct access to the water via a boat ramp, making it an ideal spot for those interested in fishing, canoeing, or kayaking. For those who prefer to keep their feet on dry land, the surrounding terrain offers hiking trails that explore the lush river landscape.

This site is best suited for campers who enjoy a moderate level of outdoor adventure and prefer a primitive setting. Because there are no utility hookups, it is perfect for self-contained RV travelers and tent campers looking to disconnect from the grid while enjoying one of Michigan's most beautiful river corridors.
