Silver Lake State Park Campground
Reviewed Aug. 17, 2020

Busy, wooded campground on a beautiful lake and dunes

This state park is on Silver Lake, and close to Lake Michigan. There are dunes between Silver Lake and Lake Mchigan, with a large ORV area. The ORV crowd dominates this busy, but nicely wooded campground. So lots of traffic as people are taking their Jeeps, trucks and dune buggies out to the dunes constantly. We were there this summer, during Covid pandemic, and found most campers refused to wear a mask to the restrooms. Aside from that, we enjoyed a spacious shady site at an end of a loop, and enjoyed a mid-week stay with no loud neighbors! We enjoyed the beach at Little Sable Lighthouse, a 5 minute drive from the park instead of the shallow, sandy but crowded (for a pandemic) beach on Silver Lake within the state park. Mac Woods Dune Rides is a super fun ride on the dunes, and only a few minutes away.
