PRIMITIVE CAMPING AND CANOEING

Coolwater Campground is surrounded by the Manistee National Forest located on the Pine River.

This is one of the Michigans’ premier canoe rivers and a Blue Ribbon Trout Stream. The campground features a river landing for water access and overnight canoe trips. We will be camping on a Primitive campsite and that means no electricity and outhouses. However on-site there are modern restrooms, showers, and laundry facilities available.
