This is a perfectly pleasant campground and a good spot to be close to Lake Michigan. The campground has enough amenities to satisfy most car or RV campers. We had a perimeter site in the Lake Macinaw grouping, which afforded us a little more privacy--however the road noise was ever present, especially after traffic for the beach backed up past the campground. There is swimming at lake Macinaw (just across the busy road), and a very small beach area to set up. The camp bathroom and shower facilities are really up to date and absolutely, marvelously clean.

The lake M campsites are a fairly long walk to the beach at Lake Michigan. A long, hot walk in the sun, on the pavement, and beside the road full of stopped traffic waiting to park at the beach. Parking at the beach isn't an option unless one goes very early in the morning (note the stopped traffic for over a mile). The walk can be a pleasant stroll if just going to the beach. However, if campers plan to tote a beach blanket, towels, lunch, water, sunscreen, water toys…etc….then they would be wise to bring a wagon. This wasn't our favorite Lake Michigan campground--but it works, and it's not bad either.

On the other hand, Deboer Bakery and Dutch Brothers Restaurant down the road was incredible. I am tempted to drive 1,000 miles just to go back again. AMAZING
