About
Seaton Creek Campground is a rustic, pine-forested campground located where Seaton Creek meets the backwater of Hodenpyl Dam Pond on the Big Manistee River. The terrain surrounding the pond is hilly with a mix of hardwoods and conifers, and the cold, high-gradient tributaries flowing off nearby Briar Hill host brown and brook trout. The campground features 17 family sites and 2 group sites, all with fire rings and picnic tables. Vault toilets and potable water from a hand pump are available. Kayakers can access the campground via the shallow Seaton Creek, though canoeing is not recommended unless launching from the Hodenpyl Backwaters to paddle the Big Manistee River. A connector trail within the campground leads to the Manistee River Trail, and the North Country National Scenic Trail is reached by crossing a suspension bridge over the Manistee River. The Upper Branch Trailhead is also nearby, making this an excellent basecamp for hikers and backpackers exploring the region.
