St. James Township Campground sits within St. James Township Park on Beaver Island, a Lake Michigan island accessible only by boat or small aircraft. The campground runs from April through November and provides drinking water, flush toilets, trash service, cell coverage, and ADA-accessible facilities. One site reportedly sits atop a 40-foot bluff facing Lake Michigan, giving campers a direct view of open water and westward sunsets. Beaver Island holds a designated dark sky designation, making the site worth considering for those who track aurora activity. Kayakers can reach the bay directly from camp. Reservations are available, and pets are welcome, which makes early booking a reasonable precaution for campgrounds near Beaver Island during summer months.
