About Us

A real stop along
the way — not just another
rest area.

The Pine Forest Campground, RV Park & General Store sits on a quiet stretch of M-37 in Irons, Michigan — a community surrounded by tall pines, rolling farmland, and just minutes from some of the most dramatic shoreline in the Great Lakes region.

Whether you're passing through on a road trip, setting up for a weekend of hiking and kayaking, or looking for a home base to explore the Sleeping Bear Dunes, we've got a patch of ground waiting for you.

Pine State Trails

Hundreds of miles of snowmobile and ATV trails run through this pine-covered region. In summer, they become hiking and mountain biking routes.

"We've been coming to Pine Forest for three summers now. The sites are clean, the pines are beautiful, and the store saved us when we ran out of ice on day two."
