Fall Salmon and Steelhead Base Camp is located in the western part of Michigan’s Lower Peninsula at Gerber Scout Reservation.  Located in Twin Lake, Michigan, Gerber Scout Reservation has over 800 acres and abundant natural resources, including multiple inland lakes teeming with fish.  Gerber is the perfect basecamp for all of your adventures.

The camp runs for one week, October 12-18, 2025.  The cost of the camp is $580 for the full week — all inclusive (does not include getting to and from camp). Reserve your spot at this spectacular fishing destination.  Registration is limited to 30 anglers.

Guests will enjoy three full meals a day along with snacks and fruit to keep you energized throughout your days on the waters.   Our location affords the opportunity to fish the waters throughout “western-lower” Michigan, including on the Muskegon, Pere Marquette, and Manistee Rivers.  We are also not far from Lake Michigan.
