Forester Park (Sanilac County Park)

My only complaint is that if you're going to say you're handicap accessible, make it truly accessible.. going up a grass covered hill to get to the bathroom is only technically accessible.. most would have a hard time getting to the bathroom.. and the "handicap" parking spot isn't paved and is also up the hill..also the "accessible" beach is the same issue. It's down an extremely rutted and uneven grass strip.. if you're going to be accessible, be truly accessible and add a path, paved or one of the roll paths like they have at Lexington Beach. The camp sites and once you get to the beach are absolutely beautiful.. the views are stunning from the boardwalk. One of the things I really didn't understand is they had a ramp on the boardwalk, but it ended in 6 stairs to finish getting to the beach. Not much point in the ramp when it ends in stairs..

Great location on Lake Huron. County run park with walking access to the beach. Wide lots. Park includes access to playground. Met the new park manager who seemed open to making changes including firewood delivery. Only issue is the lack of parkwide wifi. Available near the office so you'll need your own Hotspot for streaming. We were able to get 4G cell service. Limited wifi was not listed on the website, only that it is day time use.

I did a one night stay with my sister and the kiddo's. Our camp neighbors were so friendly and willing to help us out...Thanks for the firewood!! The beach was a beautiful sandy/rocky beach that was not totally packed. The views of the moon over the water were stunning!!! I plan on going back this weekend too! It was a blast. We are tent campers and I thought it was amazing given how close to home it is.

Forester Campground has great potential because of its excellent location right on Lake Huron, but several issues made our stay less enjoyable. The campsites themselves are inconsistent some are spacious and nice, but many are small, uneven and, sandy and could really use fresh gravel. During our stay, it rained each night and much of the campground flooded, leaving large muddy, swampy areas. Some sites seem to be occupied by long-term campers with cluttered setups, and noise at night was an issue. The bathhouses were disappointing, dirty and sandy, with frustrating push-button showers that were either cold or scalding hot. There didn’t seem to be any real management presence on-site. Check-in was impersonal and we weren’t given any information or guidance. No on-site laundry and nothing nearby to do for family fun or food for rainy days. The playground itself is nice but was taken over in the evenings by local teens smoking weed and swearing, making it uncomfortable for families. The beach is close but poorly maintained, with a lot of debris. Istepped on a stick that lodged in my leg while walking. It’s also unclear what’s public vs private beach, one neighbor came out multiple times asking people to leave "her beach." Overall, a beautiful location but the property and management need work to match its potential.

Had a great time there this past 4th of July. Only issues we had were uncontrollable from the campground. Power went out twice for a few hours and absolutely no cell service. All the employees were very friendly and being that close to the beach was nice for the kids.
