Description
iOverlander cannot verify if wild camping is permitted at this location. It is your responsibility to verify local laws or obtain consent before staying the night.
We were so happy to find this site open since we are in a 40’ Super C and need a pretty spacious spot. Early in the season there were plenty of spots available, though not all suitable for larger rigs. The roads getting to this spot were about as perfect as they could be. Forest Trail Rd is paved and goes all the way to the Lake Michigan Recreation Area where there are hiking trails and a parking lot for day use, as well as a campground.
AT&T data was 3.5mb and allowed us to stream whatever we wanted but was a little slow at times. We do use a booster which did help a lot at this site. Verizon was very weak, 1 bar, calls were hard to make while there.
Why? By checking in after you’ve visited a place you let others know this place is still functional. You can also add or correct any information.

Report Check-InWe were so happy to find this site open since we are in a 40’ Super C and need a pretty spacious spot. We just left there so early in the season there were plenty of spots available, though not all suitable for larger rigs. The roads getting to this spot were about as perfect as they could be. Forest Trail Rd is paved and goes all the way to the Lake Michigan Recreation Area where there hiking trails and a parking lot for day use, as well as a campground. But why would anyone want to stay in a campground when there are sites like this a few miles down the road?! People should be aware of the fact that, while this is called and I think known to locals as Cooper Rd., the actual road is called Morton Rd. The largest spot is about a 1/2 mile down the road once you turn left off Forest Trail. A few locals drive down the road during the day but overall it’s super quiet. We found potable water and a dump ($5) at the Marathon Station at the corner of Hwy 31 and Forest Trail. They also have a large dumpster but there were also a few dumpsters that seemed open and available by the campgrounds by the Recreation Area. Very easy for packing in, packing out!
