Great little drive from town. Its about 30 minutes or so. $11 at state park for entrance fee if u r out of state. Nice area to park & walk a shirt distance to the light house & lake frontage. Very scenic views

Beautiful state park on Lake Michigan with lighthouse. Rustic lake front and lake view camping sites available with pit toilets. There is a large play area with separate swing set. Picnic areas throughout- large covered area with several picnic tables as well. State park pass needed. Walkway to lighthouse and surrounding premises. Stroll the lakeshore and shop in the souvenir shop here.

It's rustic camping but it's beautiful here. We got site 34 across the street from the beach. Our site seemed small at first but once we got to know it, it was comfortable. There's a nice big fire pit and picnic table and trees to hang a hammock from. It's a short walk to the vault toilet which is kept stocked and clean (as can be). Only toilet to avoid is the one by the lighthouse. The lock isn't very secure so if a strong handed person pulls very hard, you will find yourself facing a stranger in the most awkward of situations. I did mention it to the park rangers at check in so hopefully they'll get that fixed. Ice is $3 a bag. Firewood is $6 a bag. Our firewood had a whole family of ants and their eggs tucked neatly between a couple logs. That was pretty gross for it being heat treated wood, according to the label. The road goes one way and is 10 mph. The biting flies are bad, mosquitos not as much.

One of my favorite MI state parks I’ve been to, currently in my top 3. My site was directly across from the lake, so I brought my chair out each day and just read my book and enjoyed the view. It was quiet since no major roads are nearby, and I came during the week early in the season so the other campers were scattered around. Keep an eye out for piping plovers and do your part in ensuring the conservation of this endangered Great Lakes species! Vault toilets were non-gendered, well kept and generally accessible, though some wheelchair users may need to ensure they get a site nearby to ensure they can readily access them without having to make a small trek*. *I’m an ambulatory wheelchair user who primarily used my walking cane while staying here, but noted whether I’d be able to use my wheelchair in different areas.

We love this park! It's about an hour north of Traverse City. The drive is beautiful and scenic. The park is just north of Northport, with cute shops, restaurants and beaches. The park has a beautiful lighthouse with eclectic gardens. There's a rocky beach good for rock hunting. In the day use area there's a really nice playground for kids. The campground in the park is rustic with no electrical hookups so plan accordingly.
