About
Indian River Campground is a small, secluded campground within Hiawatha National Forest, situated on a scenic bluff overlooking the Indian River. The campground features just 5 spacious, wooded sites that offer excellent privacy and quiet surroundings for campers seeking solitude. The campground's location makes it particularly appealing to canoeists and kayakers, as it sits near the halfway point of the Indian River Canoe Trail. A short trail connects the campground to the river, providing easy access for paddlers looking for a convenient overnight stop. The area is rich with opportunities for fishing, wildlife watching, and enjoying the Upper Peninsula's natural beauty. Facilities are basic, with vault toilets and picnic tables at sites. Sites are available first-come, first-served with no reservations accepted. Federal recreation passes (Golden/America the Beautiful) provide a discount on camping fees.
