We have stayed at the State Park Campground about 6x’s. We love it there. It is a long drive or we would go more often. A large state park campground with different size lots. There is a bridge that goes to the public beach area. A bike trail behind campground that provides access to stores and restaurants. It’s clean and well kept.

Friendly park rangers and nice campground. We got an exceptionally site (lucked out). Video of our spot and photo of spot across from our RV. I have to leave an excellent review considering the spot we were given. It was 1 of only a couple available when reserving.

I've only officially been here a couple times. What always gets me is the smell of fire but otherwise there's a road that wraps around, usually lots of places to either set up an RV, tent or even just post up a hammock. Each spot has a round metal fire pit and there's at least 3 buildings for showers. I Some of the showers have wheel chair accessible which are more private and easy access for a wheelchair, There's usually fliers that tgat tell you which ticks to look out for and preventative measures. If you walk towards the back you can get to a hiking trail for longer walks which goes all the way to acme and further if you so choose. Towards the front there's access to a bridge that takes you over the road that you can get to the beach without having to cross traffick, There's also an activity center sometimes books and whatnot for the kiddos and overall seems like a positive easy going good place to hang out and kid friendly too. Pet friendly and a spot to empty out your RV and sety up for water and electricity.

Beautiful place to sit in the winter and enjoy the water. The colors are so beautiful this time of year when the water is icy. Gates are open this time of year. So much of the coast around here is taken up with houses and hotels. It’s nice to have a place like this to experience the beauty of the area for a little while.

My family and I just returned from a weekend at this state park and campground. There is some noise from the main road. However the location is very hard to beat. My folks rented a campsite for two weeks and my partner and I joined them for the weekend. The campground itself is excellent. The shower and bathroom facilities are well-maintained. The campground is well-maintained and the DNR staff are very helpful at directing when it is high traffic times. I would highly recommend a stay here. You will need to book the campsite months in advance as they fill up fast, especially in the summer months around the holidays. You will have access to the state maintained public beach via walkway that connects to the campground. You will need a recreation passport to enter the park. I purchased one with my license plate tab renewal, but you may purchase one at the entry from the DNR staff if you don’t have one or if you are traveling from out of state.

First off here are the pros: good level sites (gravel/dirt, not paved) newer picnic tables and fire rings, plenty of clean restrooms and showers, not so busy during the week, kind and helpful staff, access to beach is just a walk over the bridge, good location to get to attractions, plenty of dogs and kids biking. Cons: busy especially closer to the weekends- it’s a highly visited park, the last loop is right on Munson Ave and sirens/engine noise went all night long, it’s also adjacent to the airport and helicopters were flying around/planes taking off all day and night ITS SO LOUD, dog beach is not dog friendly. Please consider my review in terms of what my family looks for in a site when camping- quiet, reclusive, a little dirty and beautiful. We have toddlers and dogs and a pop up. We will head back to northport for our favorite campground- leelanau state park. *The sites have electricity plug in but no water. There was also a long line for the dump when we left on a Friday.

A delightful area right off the main drag as we went out-and-about in TC. There are picnic tables and a playground. There were a couple of outhouses. The bathhouse with inside bathrooms was not yet open, May 1st is what was posted. The beach is long and pretty wide along here. Very nice sand, and the water was calm. I actually came across a morel mushroom in the grass. It is posted that no animals or glass containers are allowed on the beach. There is a guard gate to collect a park fee, but no one was there the day we went. The park hours are posted. A fabulous place!
