About
This rustic campground is located on the Dollarville Flooding, which is part of the Tahquamenon River watershed. The Dollarville Flooding is a state wildlife management area. The calm waters of the flooding offer excellent paddling and wildlife viewing opportunities. There is a wheelchair-accessible boardwalk near the boat launch which provides public access to a hunting and wildlife viewing blind overlooking the flooding.
There are 12 sites for tent and small trailer use. Amenities include vault toilets and potable water from a water spigot. The campground is located four miles west of Newberry via County Road 405 and County Road 434.
12 rustic campsites, $20 a night. Open all year; the road may not be plowed in winter. First come, first served; register at the campground kiosk on the day you arrive. Vault toilets and a hand-pump well for drinking water; no electricity or hookups. One camping unit and six people per site, 15 nights at most.
