## Overview

 Lake Michigan Campground at St. Ignace provides great views and unlimited access to Lake Michigan. The area has excellent trails, winding hikers through ancient sand dunes, windswept foundations and a variety of vegetation.
## Recreation

 The campsites are located between 20- to 30-foot high sand dunes and are just steps away from great body-surfing waves, that crash onto the lake\'s sandy beaches during commonly high winds. Lake Michigan does offer fishing, but anglers tend to prefer Brevort Lake better, for its catches of walleye, pike, bass, perch and crappie. Campers at Lake Michigan have access to the popular Sand Dunes Cross-Country Ski Trail, as well as the North Country National Scenic Trail, which connects a host of natural areas, from valleys to hilltops, prairies to forests and everything in between. Both trails offer miles of terrain, keeping hikers busy for as long as they choose.
## Facilities

 The campground offers many shaded and open sites for tent and RV camping. Some sites are available on a first-come, first-served basis. Picnic tables and campfire rings with grills are provided. Accessible vault toilets are available, as well as drinking water. Hookups are not provided. Parking spurs are comprised of grass and dirt. A trash collection bin is available at the campground and a dump station can be found at Brevort Lake.
## Natural Features

 The campground stretches along a bluff between the highway and the lake. Dunes, waves, sand and wind are the primary environmental factors present. Visitors enjoy watching shorebirds, like the Spotted Sandpiper, which can often be seen running up and down the beaches throughout the day. 
## Nearby Attractions

 Brevort Lake is about five miles from the campground. St. Ignace is about 18 miles from the campground and is the closest town.

Lake Michigan At St. Ignace

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.

Excellent beach access

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!! 

Surprisingly beautiful 

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.
