Weko Beach Campground

a bit rustic, end of summer weekend. Quiet camping area. Easy walk over to beach - beautiful sunset! and starry night!

This is pretty much just an experience piece. We arrived in a consistent light drizzle so we were not able to enjoy most of the campgrounds features. The main reason behind this review is to let folks know that this campground has great potential. We were able to walk the beaches and a few of the camping areas. The beaches are worth camping here. The sites are clean. they are not as defined as COE parks but they held our 38' Class A without issue. Although their website does not mention the ability to take larger rigs, there are some sites that can and our site may have been able to take a 43 footer. Leveling may be difficult but not impossible. Just understand that the campsites are kind of secondary to the primary draw which is the beach. They have room for grills and the basics. Not tiny, just right for up to 6 people or so. Other campers were nice and approachable, there were all ages represented in our walks. I do recommend this campground, we will be going back at some point to see the summer life here. We went in September.

Beach is beautiful. Campground staff was friendly and helpful. I'd called to see I could bring my golf cart as to assist in getting to the beach and back from our camping spot. I reconfirm this a week before my trip. After getting there, checking in with my golf cart, I set up and used the golf cart to get wood. I was immediately stopped by a cop before even getting to the booth to be told he'll speak to the campground but because I don't have blinkers, seat belts, a campground pass and it wasn't insured. I explained is actually insured and the city I live in, it is as legal as a regular or electric bike and we just use hand signals). The staff of the campground told me to email someone who can get me a pass but I'm now home days after leaving and still never got a response or pass. Due to the misinformation, it made for a pretty miserable trips to the beach in 90°+ Not sure why but 1 entire day we couldn't even stay at the beach due to mass of flys biting everyone.

We stayed in a cabin for a long weekend in early May. Upon check in, we found there was an error on the internet, that resulted in our room not being what was described. I went back to the check in office and spoke with a manager. She told me that there wasn’t anything she could do, as they were booked full for the weekend…. She could offer us our money back, or we could accept the incorrect arrangement… I told her I paid extra to make sure we got the arrangements we wanted, she should move us to a cabin that has the features we paid for… She said she couldn’t, so at that point I asked to speak to someone above the manager. the park director took over my issue and after a few uncomfortable minutes, she agreed to move us…. After this little issue was resolved, we had a wonderful stay!! Our cabin was small, which we expected, but bigger than our tent we are accustomed to. It kept us warm and completely dry during the few rain showers we had. We sat in the cabin, listening to the rain hit our roof, feeling sorry for all the soggy, wet, tent camping folks. And we decided that our tent camping days are most likely over… time to start looking at campers…. Behind our cabin is a beautiful wooded area, we found a “lean-to” shelter someone built Naked & Afraid style, While we gathered small sticks and logs to burn… From this point on, these firewood gathering missions would now be known as a “Naked & Afraid”… As in, “Hey, we’re low on firewood, wanna go buy some, or do a Naked & Afraid?” The police patrolled the campgrounds on a regular basis, but I never saw a need for them. Our little area of the campground was full, but it stayed relatively quiet. Great place to bring the whole family!!! Oh, did I forget to mention the beach??? Cmon, Florida may have palm trees, but you can’t beat the sand and water of Weko Beach and Lake Michigan. Absolutely Beautiful…Stunning…. Gorgeous… The best of both worlds… Forest, Woods, Trails, Streams… And just a few feet from the White Sand Beach and Crystal Clear Waters of Lake Michigan.

I camped here about a month ago. The spots are very close together, especially on the south portion of the campground where we were staying. The east and west parts seem to have a little more space, but not much more. I did not like the fire pits either. They were tire rims and you could move them wherever you needed to. So there were piles of ashes in places where people previously had fires. The only thing that makes this campground worth the stay is the beautiful beach. If you are camping, you can either drive to the beach parking lot in which you need to pay, or you can walk up and down stairs and walk to the beach. The beach has a little building with restrooms and concessions. Overall, Weko Beach is beautiful. The campground, not so much. The beach does make it worth the visit though.
