The Camp

Anglers’ Basecamp is located in the central part of Michigan’s Lower Peninsula at Camp Rotary. It has one of our country’s clearest spring-fed lakes, scenic rolling hills and fragrant pine trees, making it one of the most beautiful camps in the country. Located in Clare, Michigan, Camp Rotary has over 1,100 acres and abundant natural resources, Camp Rotary is the perfect basecamp for all of your adventures.

The camp runs weekly starting in May 2025. The cost of the camp is $580 for the full weeks and $385 for the one short week — all inclusive (does not include getting to and from camp). Reserve your choice of weeks at this spectacular fishing destination.

Guests will enjoy three full meals a day along with snacks and fruit to keep you energized throughout your days on the waters. The camaraderie and scenery are second to none and wildlife abounds.

Our location affords the opportunity to fish the waters throughout “northern-lower” Michigan, including on the Au Sable, Pere Marquette, and Manistee Rivers.
