Hiawatha National Forest – Solicitation for Campground & Related Granger-Thye Concessions

The Hiawatha National Forest is issuing this solicitation to inform interested parties of campground concession and site visit opportunities. The concession opportunity is for recreation facilities on the Hiawatha National Forest and includes 11 campgrounds and day use sites. The Permit Area is for 30 facilities: eleven campgrounds, ten day-use sites, one historic site, and eight boat launches on the Munising and Rapid River/Manistique Ranger Districts. The average annual revenue of the campgrounds was nearly $442,000 between 2018-2020. This package includes day-use and boat launch sites not previously offered for concession operations.
