Little Bass Lake Campsites

The Munising and Rapid River/Manistique Ranger Districts of the Hiawatha National Forest offer a variety of camping experiences. Many are located on inland lakes in a rustic forest environment with no drinking water — a wonderfully serene and peaceful setting for your next camping experience. Little Bass Lake is perfect for those looking for an uncrowded, quiet camping experience with few amenities and even fewer neighbors. The lake is 84 acres in size and supports a diverse fishery of largemouth bass, bluegills, northern pike, black crappies and perch, reached by a carry-in launch site. There are five campsites, each limited to eight people. There is no drinking water at this site. A primitive toilet is available. Visitors will be able to enjoy swimming, berry picking and fishing; licenses are required for fishing in Michigan waters. There are a number of horse, bike and hiking trails within minutes of several of the sites, and a short distance away visitors can expect to find bait shops, general and grocery stores, gas, a pay phone, trailheads, a fishing pier, biking, and kayak/canoe rentals. Gasoline, groceries, fishing and camping supplies, boat rentals, ice and MDNR licenses are available at Steuben, approximately five miles northeast on County Road 437.
