Sawdust Hole River Access is a primitive, rustic campground along the Manistee National Scenic River offering direct river access via multiple foot paths—ideal for canoeists, kayakers, and anglers seeking a quieter alternative to developed campgrounds.
The site operates year-round on a first-come, first-served basis with minimal amenities (vault toilets only, $5 fee), requiring visitors to be self-sufficient with water filtration and no hookups.
The North Country National Scenic Trail passes nearby, and the location's light use makes it suitable for those prioritizing solitude over convenience.
