New Friends and Sunsets

This is a great little camp ground right on Lake Michigan. Pretty open so not a ton of privacy but a nice set up to meet new friends. The campground sits above the lake so be ready to trek up and and down a large set of stairs but the beach and views are worth it! Water, outhouses, ice and firewood available. No showers. Pet and family friendly.

Great Beach Access

Claybanks setting is open and campsites are very close to each other. If you are looking to get away from the noise, this isn't the place for you. However, what Claybanks lacks in privacy makes up for in location. Beach access is just a walk down a wooden staircase and then you are free to choose your plot of sand for the day. You aren't allowed to have fires or camp on the beach, but not many campgrounds give you this close access and wide open space to get to the beach. DUring the summer this is a solid option for campers. Both RV's and tent camping. It's location also lends itself to having sites open most weekends except for the big holidays. There is a small playground for kids to stay busy and electrical hook-ups at most sites.
