Jackpine Hike-In Campground — Ludington State Park

It was chilly when we went, since you are right on the lake during the first week of April. Once the sun was out it was great. There’s a camp store. Many hiking trails & these sites are literally a dune walk to the beach.

Well it’s a mile hike in tell your friends prior it’s not 500 feet, oops! Not for the new camper! I loved it. Great camping be very careful ticks are around at this site due to us being in their habitat.

Water is 1 mile and 200 feet away. Just like to be clear.

No Phone service! Love that!

We had a wonderful experience at jack pines. There are about 8 sites with plenty of trees in between. Lake Michigan is just up and over a sand dune. Walk to light house is one mile.

Site had a picnic table, trash cans, and vault toilets.

An easy walk from the designated parking spots by the maintenance area, but I chose to bike. The road was sandy in spots but manageable. Sites contain a fire ring and picnic table. Two clean vault toilets. Signs said the well was closed; not sure if that was seasonal or permanent. Site F was good for hammocking. Walked to the lighthouse for sunset and was not disappointed. There’s a trail from the campground up over a dune to Lake Michigan.
