"We were here two days and fell in love with the town, the surrounding area, and never got tired of beautiful views of Lake Michigan. "
"There were a number of hiking trails that take you into the woods and up the dunes. Some are more difficult than others, but nothing miserable."
"The area we swam in was very shallow quite a ways into the lake. The showers and bathrooms are pretty close to the campsites."
"Have great paths, boat launch, and beaches. Have a dog beach too. Lots of boats in that area of the beach not paying attention."
"Pretty secluded campsites with trees surrounding each site. Private little sandy trail from the site down to Lake Michigan allows for good distancing from others. Can’t beat the sunsets."
"You are within walking distance of Lake Michigan and the beach is nice and sandy. The sites are well maintained but there is not much distance between them so be prepared for that."

"Many beautiful sites along the lake, perfect for boaters to anchor their boat where they can see it. There’s a little walk out pier to go out on, too."
TravelerParked at the end of the trail on the water. Plenty of spots to pick from. I saw a lot of reviews about mosquitoes, but I haven’t had any issues -may be because of the wind (it can blow really strong off the water.) some trash , but not too bad
Traveler20 bucks a night very clean toilets, fire pits picnic tables plus $11 for out of state registered vehicle plate so nowhere near free camping but a nice stay over spot
ScoutThis is a great campground. The grounds and facilities are very well keep up.
ScoutNice campground with 41 sites. Some sites are more remote, others are connected. The toilets are nice and stocked, however the water pump nearest our site is out of service which stinks but not a deal breaker. There's access to pickerel lake with a boat launch and a picnic table to enjoy a meal at. Great choice if looking in the area. We're rent camping but lots of RV's here.
ScoutStopped for the night. Easy to get to from the Hwy. I must have had a good night as the bugs were at a minimum.
TravelerThe camp is semi-isolated. There is adequate space between sites and ample shade, but you can still certainly tell if you have neighbors. Additionally, you can hear road noise from M-68. Overall a terrific spot for rustic camping that’s easy to access and within easy distance to travel to all the area’s offerings. We fit our small travel trailer easily into a fairly level lot. The lack of big rigs makes for a generally laid back and quiet atmosphere - a certain plus.
TravelerNice views ,quiet . Well managed , clean rules enforced ! Very refreshing to say the least
ScoutThe campground is well maintained, everything functioned properly, and the staff are friendly. My only complaint is that the sites are VERY narrow, putting you right next to your neighbors.
ScoutNot many campers for July. The sites are small and right on top of each other so I’m glad the campground isn’t crowded. The fire pit is full of garbage from the previous campers so we didn’t make a fire the first night. First time here.
