Premium camping and lodging nestled in the heart of central Michigan's wilderness — where every detail is crafted for those who refuse to choose between adventure and comfort.
Johnson Ridge Camp began as a simple vision: create a place where the raw beauty of Michigan's wilderness doesn't require sacrificing comfort. Located along State Road in Glennie, our camp sits on five acres of mature woodland — far enough from the grid to feel remote, close enough to civilization to reach in minutes.
We believe the best outdoor experiences aren't about enduring discomfort — they're about designing an environment where nature and thoughtfulness coexist. Every fire pit, every sleeping platform, every trailhead was placed with intention.
From dawn patrols to starlit evenings, every moment at Johnson Ridge Camp is shaped around one principle: the outdoors should elevate you, not diminish you.
Just steps from camp, local waters hold smallmouth bass, panfish, and perch. Gordon's Bait & Tackle — right down the road — keeps you stocked and informed on the best spots.
Miles of private and public trail network weave through mature hardwoods and meadows. Hike, mountain bike, or simply walk — the forest is your backyard.
With minimal light pollution, our campfire pits offer front-row seats to the Milky Way. Gather around the flames with coffee in the morning or whiskey at night.
Our lodging blends handcrafted woodwork with modern amenities. Quality linens, climate-controlled interiors, and outdoor showers — the best of both worlds.
Whether you prefer sleeping under the stars or in a thoughtfully appointed structure, Johnson Ridge Camp offers options that honor the experience without compromising comfort.
Geodesic domes with elevated platforms, queen bedding, ambient lighting, and panoramic mesh walls for uninterrupted forest views.
Canvas wall tents pre-set on wooden decks with real beds, electricity, and personal lighting. Pitch your own or let us handle it.
A standalone cabin with full climate control, a compact kitchen, composting toilet, and a wraparound porch overlooking the woods.
Johnson Ridge Camp sits at the intersection of accessibility and seclusion. Located on State Road in Glennie, we're close enough to town for supplies but far enough to hear nothing but wind and wildlife.
