Kneff Lake National Forest Campground - Grayling

 
 
This was the beginning of our U.P. trip. We left Howell around 6pm and headed North. We made it to Grayling a little before 9. Missed the turn for the campground... watching the GPS rather than the road signs... But got there without too much problems. There were only a few other people at the campground on a Thursday night. With quickly fading light, we found a spot and set up for the evening. Seems like a nice enough place. It is primitive, there are out houses and there must be a water pump somewere, but I don't recall seeing it. There are steps... lots of them that go down to a small lake. I went there early in the morning as the sun was coming up.. it was small but pretty.. not sure about fishing, but it did not look like a swimming lake.
We got up the next morning and continued on our way. We were only there about 12 hours, but for $15 it was a great place to stop for the night. It is less than 10 miles from I-75 which makes it a convient stop for trips further North.
