Elk Hill Group Equestrian Campground

Vanderbilt, Michigan

About

Elk Hill Group Equestrian Campground is a peaceful, wooded group campground with a maximum capacity for 100 individuals and can accommodate up to 5 different equestrian groups at one time. It is intended for those group camping with horses. The group rate is $6 per person with a minimum of 10 people. Amenities include vault toilets, firepits, a water pump that requires a 5,000 watt generator, picket posts and manure bunkers. There is also a large group fire circle and picnic shelter available. The campground is located 14 miles east of Vanderbilt via East Sturgeon Valley Road, Witness Tree Road and Twin Lakes Road. Options for those camping with horses are limited in the Pigeon River Country State Forest so equestrians heavily rely on this campground for use. If you are not camping with horses, please consider staying in another state forest campground. The campground is a stop along the Shore-to-Shore Trail, a 420-mile trail system open to hiking and horseback riding, that stretches east-west from Empire to Oscoda with two additional northern and southern spur trails. The Michigan Trail Riders Association assists with maintenance of the trail.
