August 2021, One-night, Campsite 16
 |
| Baxter Bridge State Forest Campground on Manistee River |
This was our third time staying in this campground, although I could not find posts from our previous stays. We stayed on a riverfront site in the fall of 2010 and 2013. There are three riverfront sites in the main area of the campground, and at least one more at the very end of the road. I am sharing a labeled screenshot from Google maps, since I could not find a map for this campground. Remember, you can enlarge photos by clicking on them, and if you are a subscriber, you are probably receiving even larger photos in the email notifications.

When we arrived Thursday afternoon, all of the riverfront sites were taken. Well, kind of... People were setting up on the middle site of the three sites together, and they had belongings on the other two sites to hold them for their friends. At least their friends arrived before nightfall that same day. I would have been quite annoyed if they had not arrived that day, since we were only staying one night, and left early Friday morning. This stay was a brief mid-point stop for us on the way up to Grand Traverse Bay with our boat.
