Lake Michigan At St. Ignace

Only 60 to 75 percent full midweek in July. Most sites are first come first served. Most sites are separated by natural forest. Beautiful dunes and beach. Traffic noise from highway is an issue.

Beautiful campground on Lake Michigan. Most of our time was spent on the sand beach. Beautiful sunsets and great swimming. Big sites and clean campground.

We stayed in site #9.  The site was really nice and had great direct access to the beach.  The campground had just opened for the season and there was no camp host.  The vault toilets were clean but had not been emptied from the prior season.  Yuk.  The mosquitoes were just starting to get bad.  We had planned to stay for 3 nights but had to leave after the first night due to a propane leak.  I would stay here again.  The lake was beautiful.  The traffic noise was not too bad.  There were only a few other campers there so we had plenty of privacy.  The sites are spaced apart enough that you don't feel too crowded.

I really enjoyed this campground. It was a last minute choice after a long day of driving and it was absolutely perfect. Sites are not super private but the sites on the lake side had a small walk to the gorgeous beach. That was private and quiet. From the beach the sunset and moonrise were beautiful and we couldn’t hear the road over Lake Michigan. We did wake up to highway noise but the view we got to look at all day/night was worth it!!

We stayed here for one night in June, I'm a site on the road side. Some of the beach-side sites looked really great, with private beach access. Ours was fine, however very close to the road, so the noise was a bit of and issue.

Great quiet campground. Great for landing on the way to the north or the south. Clean bathrooms. Note: you are not allowed to use a generator on the lake side sites.

This campground is exactly as it’s named; right on Lake Michigan.

While it is directly off of US-2 and road traffic is noticeable and slightly distracting while sleeping, it’s a perfect spot to set up camp for a day or two!

We reaeved a site on the road side of the grounds but after further exploration, a lake-side site is a must. Most had pathways to the beach, just a short walk to the water from the actual site.

Camp sites each had a fire ring and picnic table and rustic pit toilets were pretty well spaced out through the entire campground.

Would recommend if you’re just looking for a spot for some swimming! Bring earplugs for the trucks and traffic at night.

*** Newberry bear ranch is about 45 mins away and absolutely worth thr drive/money.

extremely pretty area. fairly quiet. great view of the lake.

Some of the sites are on the lakeshore, others are wooded. We arrived on a Tuesday evening in late-August and found all the shore-side sites already occupied, but plenty of the wooded sites were available. Trails lead up and over the wooded dune to the shoreline, and we enjoyed a spectacular sunset. Pit toilets were clean.
