Hoeft State Park Campground

I don’t know about the camper facilities, as we’ve only ever tent camped here. But I do know they have potable water and septic dumps for trailers and motor homes. It’s a very popular place in the summer, as it sets along the sandy beaches of Lake Huron. There’s a gorgeous old stone pavilion for larger parties or reunions, and plenty of camper spaces. It can get crowded and busy, but there are many trees and the sites are spaced far apart. There are special rustic sites away from the trailer and motor home sites. There is a little basketball court/floor hockey pad for kids, and a small playground, but not much else to do at the campground. However, for those who like hiking, there’s a beautiful little trail system and a bike path that stretches to miles from the harbor of Rogers City to the 40 Mile Point lighthouse a few miles north on US 23\. There are restaurants, grocery stores, and gas stations in Rogers City, but the real draw is Lake Huron. It’s such a gorgeous stretch of shoreline with plenty of sandy beach and easy swimming access for hot summer days. If you come during the festival, be sure to get there a few days early!

A fantastic campground!

Beautiful setting. there are tons of trails through beautiful deep woods that lead out to various points along the lake. great paved bike paths to Rogers City and up north. Campsites under #50 are beautiful &amp; heavily canopied. campsite # above that tend to be set closer to noisy local highway and more open, grassy sites. this place is a little gem. lucked out with virtually no mosquitoes but think it’s been a dry summer here. lots of poison ivy, as usual up here. 






Beautiful, woodsy lakefront gem. 

I don’t know why this campground isn’t more popular! The sites are big and secluded. We were there during a holiday weekend and it was calm and quiet. It is very close to Huron Sunrise bike trail so it is a popular biking spot. It has a beautiful Lake Huron beach which was pretty deserted when we were there. I highly recommend Hoeft to anyone who will listen to me!

Hidden Gem

This campground was redone to make sites more organized and bigger. The bathrooms seem to be older still, but were clean! The location is amazing, they are right on lake Huron which was beautiful and clean. It's a short drive to Ocqueoc waterfall which is why we went. The waterfall is worth a trip, and the only public waterfall in the lower peninsula of MI. Loved Roger's city downtown and cute shops. Also many hiking trails in the woods surrounding the park that connect to the campgrounds. Highly recommend!

Recently remodeled 

We stayed 8-3 to 8-7, only issue was the weather. Didn’t rain, but was hit with a cold front 😳. This was a great SP, no issues fitting our 36’ TT with 2 slides in our pull through site. We were nestled in the back of the park. Electrical box did have both 30 and 60 amp service. Our site was gravel and pretty much level. Large cemented fire ring and site was spaced great (especially for a SP).  No water hookups but we try to reserve next to a water spigot.  Lots of trails all around the park for walking and bike riding.  To get to the beach you had to take one of the beach trails which is roughly 50-75 yards off the campground road. We went nearing dusk and it was so beautiful. Since we were in the back of the park we decided to leave the park the following day about half mile to the East to a roadside pull off to watch the sunset (I wasn’t about to lug 4 large camping chairs across the campground, lol). This was unknown to us at the time but we ended up seeing a blood moon rise and on such a clear night that you can see all the stars and constellations. I would seriously recommend this campground to everyone (just pack warm clothes).  There are some other great attractions in roger city like the quary, 40 mile lighthouse, and a small waterfall just outside of town. We will definitely be back. 

Nice SP on Northern Lake Huron


This campground is a must do. Electric site campground with a short walk to the beach on Lake Huron. One of few campgrounds you can view both sunrise over Lake Huron and sunset from the beach. Showers and flush toilets. Great biking and hiking trails. Really nice day use area with pavilion. Mini cabin and Sears Roebuck house for rent for those wanting more comforts. One of MI State Parks original campgrounds but well taken care of. Would have given it 5 stars except for the extremely rude Ranger on check in. I’ve never encountered this level of rudeness anywhere- 
I’d suggest he find another career. Other rangers were great. Rogers City, 40 Mile Lighthouse and waterfall all within easy drive from campground. Does have nice water tank filling station and dump station. Does not have water nor sewer hookups at sites. 



Beautiful campground on Lake Huron

Park wasn't full when we were there June 12-18th. Was quiet. Beach was nice, sandy, clean water 

Nice & quiet

Really nice location on beautiful Lake Huron. They have a really nice beach and swimming area. It is close to Rogers City shops, a really cool lighthouse a few miles away, and Ocqueoc Falls is 15 - 20 minutes away. Visiting the falls was one of the coolest parts of this trip. You can actually swim in them. We had probably the biggest site in the campground. It was what they called an eyebrow site, which basically means a pull-thru on an angle. We had a lot of space on the site and because our awning faced away from the road we had a lot of privacy. This was by far the best state park we’ve stayed at to date.
