About
Brush Lake Recreation Area Campground is a primitive camping destination located on the shores of Brush Lake in Michigan's Huron-Manistee National Forests. The lake is entirely surrounded by National Forest System lands, creating a secluded wilderness experience in Newaygo County. The campground features vault toilets but no potable water; campers must bring their own water supply or treat water from the lake. Two boat launches provide lake access: a drive-in launch on the eastern shore and a smaller carry-in launch within the campground itself. No hookups, showers, or dump stations are available. This site is popular with anglers and hunters throughout the seasons. It also serves as a destination for wildlife viewing and is a rewarding stop during fall color season. The campground operates year-round but receives no maintenance from November 1 through April 30.
