FAQ


Do I get to choose my site? No, however, you are more than welcome to make a request for site #, type, area, etc.  We do not guarantee that we will meet all requests, but we work very hard to please you.

Why is my site request not guaranteed? We cannot guarantee site numbers or types simply because we need to retain the ability to move reservations around in order to fill to capacity, while still trying to meet EVERYONE'S request. 

I see check-in/check-out time is 12:00pm.  Can I come early/stay later? We are happy to accommodate early check-ins, as long as the site is already vacated by the previous tenant.  However, please be mindful to the fact that the site may be occupied by a previous tenant until 12:00pm.  Arriving early does not get you a "better site".  Late departures are welcome if available, We offer a convience of 2 hrs then at a rate of $5.00 per hour past 2:00pm. If you are interested in an early check-in or late departure, please inquire with the office.

Can we bring our own firewood? We do allow outside firewood to be brought in, as long as it does not come from a quarantined area.  Please check with your local officials to find out if your location is considered quarantined.  We do ask that you refrain from transporting ash wood.  If you do not wish to bring your own firewood, it can be purchased at the office.

What is the best way to make a reservation? The best way to inquire about a reservation is by phone and please leave a message if we don’t answer also email. Multiple or back to back phone calls will not get your call through, if we are unable to answer then we are unable to answer and will get back to you as soon as we can.

How long does it take to hear back? We receive an extraordinary amount of inquiries for a very limited number of sites, sometimes it may take a day or two, or even longer to get back to you.

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.

Some other local campgrounds to try for RV:

Honcho Rest Campground
Chain O Lakes Campground
Rapid River Campground
White Water Township Park
Barnes Park
