Reservations

Manage Separate River and Forest Site Access

Access to developed sites, including major river landings and specific trailheads like Big M, requires a daily or annual pass through the Forest Service or digital providers. Overnight stays at developed campgrounds like Sawkaw or those along the Manistee River require advanced booking through the centralized federal reservation system, often opening six months out. Dispersed camping is generally available but must adhere to strict distance requirements from water and roads; check current fire restrictions and official forest maps to verify specific district rules.
