Whether you're chasing trophy bucks or making memories with your hunting crew, our campground is your home away from home. Just like the legendary deer camps of yesteryear — where smoke curled from chimneys, venison sizzled over open flames, and camaraderie was king — we invite you to start your own tradition here.

We are located approximately 90 miles northwest of Grand Rapids, and 40 miles northeast of Ludington. We are nestled into the heart of Michigan's Manistee National Forest, where there are limitless opportunities for all types of outdoor recreation activities.

We welcome you to our quiet, family atmosphere park, where a clean, well kept park and a friendly atmosphere are our promise to you. The 6 1/2 acre park has 250 feet of waterfront on Seaman Lake, where park patrons can swim, boat, or fish in the spring fed lake.

Challenge the waters of the Pine River by canoe, or find a private trout fishing hole on the Little Manistee River. Whatever you do, the choice is yours... it is your Leisure Time!

The Pine River and Pere Marquette River are both very popular canoeing rivers, there are numerous canoe liveries available in the area.

Both the Pine and the Pere Marquette rivers boast excellent spring and fall salmon runs. People come from all over to fish these runs. Area lakes, including Seaman Lake where the campground is, have some of the best fishing available in the state.Seaman Lake even claims two (yes two!) state record largemouth bass. People fish the area lakes for bass, pike, bluegill, and perch. The Little Manistee River is a popular fishery for the trout fisherman, and Lake Michigan has countless charter boats that can take you on a deep sea type of fishing expedition.

Deer abound in the area, along with bear, porcupines, squirrels, and rabbits. There are wild turkeys, bald eagles, partridge, crow, woodcock, frogs, turtles, ducks, heron, otter, mink, and canadian geese. Many deer hunters and turkey hunters choose to make Leisure Time Campground their base camp. See our Hunter's Page for more pictures!
