Loomis Landing Campground

Loomis Landing Campground is a remote waterfront retreat in the heart of Manistee National Forest, a 40-minute drive from Manistee. The campground and marina sit on the 9,000-acre backwaters of Tippy Dam at the mouth of the Pine River, a nationally designated Wild and Scenic River.

Loomis Landing Campground borders the 9,000-acre backwaters of Tippy Dam. The backwaters sit at the mouth of the Pine River. The Pine River belongs to the National Wild and Scenic Rivers System.

The backwaters hold the Michigan state record walleye. That walleye weighed 17 pounds 3 ounces. Founder Dewey W. Loomis earned three Master Angler Awards from Field and Stream Magazine.

The surrounding Manistee National Forest supports four-season outdoor recreation. The forest provides access to fishing, hunting, and boating. The backwaters accommodate canoeing, kayaking, pontoon boating, and power boating.
