Henry Lake Camp

Henry Lake Camp offers a true back-to-basics escape for those looking to immerse themselves in the natural beauty of Michigan’s Great Lakes region. Situated at an elevation of 1594 feet, this USFS-managed site provides a rugged, tranquil setting perfect for campers who prefer a quiet, remote environment away from the bustle of commercial parks. It is an ideal destination for those seeking solitude and a genuine connection with the outdoors.

This is a primitive, no-hookup campground that operates on a strictly first-come, first-served basis. Because there are no listed amenities, visitors should come fully prepared to be self-sufficient throughout their stay. The site is open year-round, allowing for seasonal exploration of the surrounding terrain, whether you are visiting during the vibrant colors of autumn or the quiet stillness of winter.

This location is best suited for experienced campers and self-reliant RV travelers who appreciate dispersed-style camping without the need for modern facilities. Since site selection requires physical arrival, it is recommended to download the Recreation.gov app beforehand to utilize the Scan and Pay feature if available. Please ensure your vehicle is capable of handling the remote conditions of this federal forest site.
