We camped here for the 4th of July in 2015 and had a great time. We stayed at the south campground, and the sites were pretty big and there was plenty of shade during the day. Sites had picnic table, fire-ring, electrical, and no parking pad. Restrooms & showers were clean and well maintained.

The campground is right on Duck Lake, and there was a canoe/kayak launch in the campground in addition to the main ramp in the center of the park.

Be sure to check out Bud's for coffee and the Hofbrau for a good beer selection. Both are just a 5-10 minute bike-ride from the park.

The Interlochen Center for the Arts is literally right across the street. It is a fine arts boarding high school during the school year, and a fine arts camp each summer. Many of the world's top young artists study here, and there were free nightly performances by the extremely talented students & faculty.

This is also a great campground to use as a "home-base" for taking day-trips to other attractions in Northern Michigan - Platte River paddle trips, Sleeping Bear Dunes, Traverse City's many shops, wineries, restaurants, and breweries, and even the National Cherry Festival if you time your trip right! They're all about 30-45 minutes away. Also, be sure to check out Paddle for Pints in Traverse City during the summer. It's basically a paddle-brewery-crawl, and it sells out fast!

We will definitely be coming back to this park. We were there for a week and still weren't able to do everything we wanted!
