This is my favorite campground in Michigan. The perfect mix of rusticness and modern amenities. The walk out sights are my favorite! If you're staying at one, I highly recommend taking the .5 mile trail out to the beach at night. You can find it if you keep walking out the trail towards the C walk-out sites and just keep going. The starry sky is unforgettable.

A very well designed campground. The campsite spurs, tent pads, and picnic tables with fire rings are well planned. There are bathrooms with showers. Water spicics are conveniently located. Many sites have electricity. And everything is well cared for.

We stayed in spot 425 for 3 nights the second week of September. Spot 425 was right next to the restroom, which I hadn't expected. For some reason the map made it appear further away. Anyway, it turned out to be a non-issue. The toilets are modern marvels: flush toilets, sinks with running water and hand dryers and the showers were individual, not communal. Nirvana for a tent camper! Speaking of which, they're available to tent campers (I'm thinking of you, Tippecanoe River State Park.) All of the sites were relatively large. Site 425 was much lower than the rest of the camp. This is good in that on a breezy night, the breeze was over our heads, keeping us warmer and the fire under control. We also like to quietly play music at night, so the sound didn't travel as easily to the other sites. However, it would have been bad during a large rainstorm. It's basically a rain catch basin. Since all food, or anything with a scent, needs to be kept inside a locked vehicle due to ravenous, ornery raccoons, this meant many trips up and down the hill to our vehicle. There's a really nice hike at the back of the campground that leads directly to Lake Michigan. The ranger told us it as 3/4 mile, but my smart watch recorded 1.3 miles each way. It's worth it but not for someone with physical limitations as there is about a 1/4 mile of thick sand that's difficult to walk through. If you're looking for a nicely kept campground with large spots in a remote area with plenty of hiking and watersports, this is for you.

One of the best campgrounds we've stayed in. Large shaded sites, bathrooms are immaculately maintained. Great for kayaking just across the road. Easy access to many lakes and rivers. Highly recommend.

Great camping camp ground plenty of sights which fill fast clean rest rooms and showers with a camp kitchen sink for all to use there are many restrooms/showers around loop which there us four of quiet times after dark. Would recommend it for everyone. Even handicap excusable bath and showers in all facilities. Come and enjoy. This is a part of NPS not state run
