Welcome to our unique campground, where nature meets community, providing an unforgettable outdoor experience for all campers. Before selecting your camping site, it is essential to check in with the Host Camper and complete your payment. This ensures that your reservation is officially recognized and helps us maintain the quality of our facilities. Please note that any trailer or tent left on-site without prior approval from management will incur daily charges. If a trailer or tent remains uncommunicated with park staff for over seven days, it will be transported to the City of Macomb’s police impound lot, with all transportation fees being the owner's responsibility. Our tent camping and RV sites operate on a first-come, first-served basis. To ensure fairness, spots cannot be reserved by parking a vehicle or tent to block access to the power pedestal. Campers are required to plug into the nearest available power source. Attempts to manipulate the system to secure a site may result in being asked to relocate or leave the campground. We appreciate your cooperation in helping us maintain a welcoming environment for all visitors.

Welter Recreation Area stands out as a unique destination for outdoor enthusiasts, featuring three distinct loops—Sycamore, Maple, and Cottonwood—each easily accessible from Skunk River Road. This expansive area spans 63 acres between the Sycamore and Maple loops, extending from Skunk River Road to the scenic Skunk River, making it an ideal spot for camping and outdoor activities. The loops cover a 2.5-mile stretch along the river, attracting float groups, canoes, and kayaks, which often use Welter Recreation Area as a convenient launching and unloading point. The Cottonwood Loop, situated above Augusta, adds an additional 16 acres of natural beauty, nestled between Skunk River Road and the river. While the campgrounds occupy only a small portion of this vast area, visitors can enjoy the tranquility and privacy that the surrounding landscape offers. Additionally, both the Sycamore and Maple loops are open to public hunting outside of the camping season, providing further recreational opportunities. Whether you're looking to paddle down the river or explore the natural surroundings, Welter Recreation Area is a perfect getaway for nature lovers.
