Lake Michigan Recreation Area
Reviewed May. 4, 2020

Peaceful spot

Wonderful place to camp. Large quiet campsites with an amphitheater and occasional nature based activities for kids. Smokey the bear came when we were camping. Walk to the beach was easy and nice. The beach access can be a little tricky to get to. The black flies were really bad on some evenings preventing us from watching the sunset on the beach, but their presence seemed to come when a storm was coming in. The bathrooms were kept as expected for a state campground managed by hosts. We were nicely isolated with no wireless service to distract us, but close if needed. We were also close enough to services we may need (had to find a Non emergent clinic for my daughter). Easy trip to Ludington to see the dunes and We also spent a quaint day in Manistee canoeing the beautiful river. We would definitely return.
