The Best Camping Near Bellaire, Michigan

Chain O'Lakes Park has it all: trails to hike, horses to ride, boats to row, and fish to catch! After an adventure- packed day, you can return to your nearby campsite for some rest and relaxation. 

There are several campgrounds in the park. Our site was in Honeysuckle. It was located on the banks of a lake, fully shaded. Nicely sized. But it is very close to the fire ring of the adjacent site.

The campground was somewhat noisy, but well maintained. The bathroom/shower house was clean. The pit toilets were not. Both were a short walk in opposite directions of our site. Dumpsters located throughout campground. 

Lots to see and do

Great campground, amazing camp store, and friendly staff. Most camp stores over price and this camp’s store prices are very fair. Can only have 1 tent and 1 car per site.

Quiet, Kid-friendly, Great value

Very friendly 

Our time at this campground has been exceptional. The grounds are kept very clean and tidy, the camp store had what we needed, and the atmosphere is very quiet and calming. Everything on our full hookup site worked good and our site itself was level. 

Our weather wasn’t very good, 66 and rainy, but we made the best of our time by going downtown Bellaire and visiting Shorts Brewing. The little town has some cute shops and is only 8 minutes from the campground. 

We had a wonderful time and can’t wait to book again next year. 

Will be back!

Full hookup sites, cabins were nice. Many recent upgrades to the campground
