Icy spring day with 30mph winds. Beautiful as always. Love visiting the site of one of our first dates and the spot where I proposed on a freezing February day. Now sharing that same sight with our firstborn 12 years later.

It is a beautiful place where everything is good. The scenery is very good with Lake Michigan in the background, and there is very fine sand. It is good for swimming and a great place to bring children for a picnic. It is a very satisfying place for camping. Especially when the sunset comes in the evening, it creates a really beautiful scene. Just like a picture... The bathroom is clean, the shower area is spacious, and it is very well managed. There is also good food nearby. Running while looking at the scenery is a really pleasant exercise.

Everything was really clean, the host was kind. There are multiple playgrounds that were really fun for our kids. It’s close to downtown area. Great access to the pier and lighthouse and beach. The only negatives were that the campsites were very close together and the lighthouse/pier makes a noise every 30 seconds that we could hear all night. Bring your earplugs and you will have a great time!

Great place for car camping, even if you are driving cross country worth the detour by 4 hours to see something different. Main season is busy. People fly kites often it seems. A good place to think or day dream. You can go down the block and into town, a skate park is in walking distance as well. The boardwalk is pretty neat and although the place is busy with the retired crowd; I did see other car campers. The bathrooms were great, cleans and shower design is perfect. Showers face around the building, and one face of it is public restrooms. Night time is quiet after 10pm. Camp ground does a good job making sure people leave by 10pm in the public grounds. Peaceful and quiet and good views of the water. Sunset is something else here, I got lucky on blue skies with slightly trippy like clouds. Deep pinks and purples and red hues. People gather everyday for sunset it seems. The parking lot next store fills up and people truly seem to take this as a moment of peace and Zen in this part of Michigan. This was my favorite day. Skateboarding seemed okay and understood down the boardwalk (unsure of legality) no one minded though. I moved at casual speed, freestyle street skating would be frowned down on from 5pm-dark. Too many people walking. Pedestrian level increases. This has been a E review.
