Beautiful State Park

Isolated, quiet park on Lake Michigan. Nicely spaced and shaded sites. Some level, many not so great. Big fire rings. Picnic tables. Electric hookups only. Bath and shower facilities very new and nice. Spotty phone service. Historic ghost town within walking distance of the campground. Many buildings open during the day with displays of what life was like when the town was occupied. Great history lesson and very interesting. Although town buildings were locked at night, you could still walk the streets. Spooky but fun! Sunsets on the lake are spectacular. Many hiking trails around the park. Not strenuous and fairly short. However, trails could use better markings.

Close quarters but very nice!

We were a little close to our neighbors but that was ok. The historic site is awesome and the beach is beautiful. Great sunsets. Night skies were gorgeous. Campground is nice, just a little close to neighbors camping.

Secluded quiet

Fayette was a perfect end to a week long tour of the U.P. The grounds are exceptionally clean and well kept. The only downfall is that the campground roads are gravel and can be a bit dusty when it’s dry. The historical site was a great way to spend a couple hours.

Nice and clean, but noisy.

The campground was very nice and clean. Very nice bathroom and shower house. The campsites are very close together and do not allow for any privacy. There were 2 groups on opposite sides of the campground making noise until 2am and then the seagulls started squawking at 5am.

the ghost town!

When you camp here you can visit the townsite at night. I'm a photographer and i love the challenge of taking night pictures! I love the history here.

Fayette Historic State Park Campground

This park is off the main road but worth stopping at. The campground is located next to a restored historic village. There are self-guided walking tours of it that are really engaging as well as a visitor center. The campground has a variety of sites. I chose one near the beach. A walk through the grass and I was able to eat my meals along the shore. There were not many campsites being used which added to the remote feeling. Bring all your supplies because this is a simple campground. There are also some places for boats to camp on the other side of the historic village. I traveled here by bicycle and it was a very nice ride.
