About
Little Bay De Noc Campground provides a peaceful retreat on the northern shore of Lake Michigan's Little Bay de Noc. The campground offers individual and group sites nestled among oak, hemlock, and hardwood trees, creating a relatively private camping experience. Each site includes a picnic table and fire ring with grill. Accessible vault toilets and potable water are provided. The bay is nationally recognized as one of the premier walleye fisheries in the country. Hunter's Point paved boat ramp sits less than a mile from the campground entrance, making it easy to launch for fishing or recreational boating. Non-motorized boating and swimming are popular at the adjacent beach. Several hiking trails are located within a couple miles of the campground. The campground accommodates tents, trailers, and RVs up to 40 feet on gravel back-in sites. Two group sites can host parties up to 24 people. Reservations are available through Recreation.gov.
Directions
From Rapid River, drive 2 miles east to County Road 513. Continue 6 miles south to the campground.
