Torch Grove RV Campground
-The Closest RV Camping to Torch Lake
The Public access "beach" is the closest way for campers at Torch Grove to enjoy Torch Lake. The access is directly across the road from our exit. Campers must cross crystal beach road and make the short walk down the access to get to the lake (roughly 150 feet once at the edge of Torch Grove). The access is a great place to launch Kayaks, Canoes, SUP’s, or any other floating water toy.
The access doesn’t really have a beach, however there aren’t really any “beaches” on Torch Lake. The lake shore is more like the water and grass meet with very little exposed sand. The best “beach” on Torch Lake is at the Eastport Day park.
We encourage our campers to enjoy the public access responsibly and adhere to the posted rules on the signs put up by the township. A couple of these rules include:
• NO OVERNIGHT MOORING OF BOATS
• MAXIMUM 5 HR CONTINUOUS MOORING OF BOATS
• NO TRESPASSING
• NOT BEING LOUD AND DISTURBING THE PEACE
A link to the Clearwater Township Ordinances is provided within for a complete listing of regulations for the access.
It is imperative that our campers adhere to these rules
Thank you for visiting torchgrove.com, unfortunately for the 2024 season we will not be accepting general reservations from July1 - August 15 until further notice. Here is why:
We are a small campground with 54 campsites with most of these sites being full time seasonal campers with only 7 transient sites. We understand this is a great area that has gained lots of recognition the last few years. Due to the overwhelming amount of request the last few years we are limiting transients to seasonal friends and family and a few long time customers.
We have listed other options below but for those of you wondering, there are no campgrounds on torch lake, there are no "public beaches", there are swim areas and small parks. We have listed all of the local options below to further help your search. We also own Honcho Rest, it is a similar set up but a bigger park and we are accepting reservations there, they is a one week min stay during July and August.
This is a trial run with this set up for this year and if we have vacancies once summer is here we will fill them. However, if that happens it is going to be on about a 2 week notice.
Seasonal camping is very popular and we do have a waiting list to get in the park. It usually takes at least a few years.
