Best Time to Camp at High Bridge State Forest Campground

While the campground welcomes visitors year-round, winter adventurers should note that seasonal access roads and the campground itself remain unplowed during snowy months. Come prepared for true four-season wilderness conditions, and always check current road status before heading out to this remote corner of the Upper Peninsula.

About High Bridge State Forest Campground

Tucked along the legendary Two-Hearted River in Michigan's eastern Upper Peninsula, High Bridge State Forest Campground offers an intimate escape with just seven primitive sites nestled beneath a canopy of mixed hardwoods and conifers. This secluded, first-come, first-served gem delivers authentic backcountry camping with direct river access, vault toilets, and a hand-pump well—perfect for anglers and solitude-seekers ready to unplug.

A small, rustic/primitive campground with 7 first-come, first-served sites suitable for tent campers and small trailers. Emphasis is on backcountry, riverside camping and fishing rather than developed amenities.

Weather and SeasonsWhile the campground welcomes visitors year-round, winter adventurers should note that seasonal access roads and the campground itself remain unplowed during snowy months. Come prepared for true four-season wilderness conditions, and always check current road status before heading out to this remote corner of the Upper Peninsula.

Natural Features and SceneryImagine waking to dappled sunlight filtering through towering pines and hardwoods, the gentle murmur of the Two-Hearted River just steps from your tent. Each shaded site feels like your own private sanctuary in the forest, naturally screened by mature trees that create a sense of peaceful seclusion. As evening falls, the riverside becomes an angler's haven, while overhead, some of the darkest, most star-studded skies in Michigan emerge—unobscured by light pollution and utterly breathtaking.
