About
Camp Cook Campsite sits on historic ground in the Rapid River/Manistique Ranger District of Hiawatha National Forest, where a Civilian Conservation Corps camp operated in 1934. The campground offers 4 sites that can be reserved individually or together for larger groups of up to 24 people. A large grassy clearing makes it particularly well-suited for gatherings, reunions, or group camping trips. The Fishdam River runs adjacent to the property, providing excellent brook trout fishing opportunities for anglers with a valid Michigan license. Berry picking is available seasonally in the surrounding hardwood and pine forest. While there's no swimming at Camp Cook, the beach at Camp 7 Lake Campground is only two miles away. This is a primitive, rustic campground with vault toilets but no potable water. Campers must bring their own drinking water and pack out all trash. Firewood must be dead and down from the immediate area; outside firewood is prohibited to prevent the spread of invasive species.
