Located 5.7 miles southeast of Crystal Falls via M-69 East, this rustic state forest campground offers a gravel boat launch with day-use access to Glidden Lake. The launch serves paddlers and boaters looking to explore this peaceful inland lake in Michigan's Upper Peninsula. A sandy swim area and walking trails add to the recreational appeal of the site.
The campground operates on a rustic model with vault toilets, hand-pump water, and 23 campsites suitable for tents and small trailers—no hookups available. Note that a **Michigan Recreation Passport is required for vehicle entry**. Pack out all garbage, as there are no on-site trash facilities. The peaceful forested setting makes this an ideal base for kayakers and canoeists seeking quiet water access, though visitors should come prepared for primitive conditions.
