"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."
"Watch the sunset from your tent on top of a 40 foot over lake MI."
"Private, quiet, and easy access to the beach (pebbly). Clean outhouses, nice fire rings, and a water pump. Very windy so prepare by packing the right gear. No crowds which are very nice."
"Rustic campground along the shores of Lake Michigan. 23 sites. Hand pump for water available. Beautiful spot on Lake Michigan with no signs of life for miles down the beach. Pets are welcome."
"Sites are a little small, and are moderately close to other sites. heavily wooded makes it feel cozy. Some sites have "private" trails to the beach, approximately 50-75yrds away."
$15 / night
"Our site was just steps from Lake Michigan. Others were tucked in the woods. The out house was clean and we’ll stocked. There was a pump for water but no electricity."
"the spots on Lake Michigan are the best, if you are in the wooded sites it can be buggy, can have secluded spots with paths right out to the lake"
$22 - $42 / night
"We reserved site 83A for our family of 5. we were in close proximity to the newly constructed bathhouse complete with dish washing stations. it was a full campground on the Friday night that we were there"

"So yes you will sorta see if from the beach and you will see it when you drive up to go into the park. Other than that you won’t really know it’s there."
"Driving in to the campground, wear your blinders as there's a concrete plant right next door. I camped this past week and there were signs the park hadn't been used by many at all just yet."
$20 / night
"Our campsite was feet away from Lake Michigan- practically on the shoreline! Going to bed and waking up to the lapping of the waves is something you can’t miss here."

$20 - $30 / night

"Very nice lakeside campsites. Little on the pricey side for me. Edging a little bit towards the style of the Michigan state parks, which isn't my scene."
"The lake is beautiful, good for swimming and fishing. The town of Escanaba is nearby with good restaurants and Lake walks. Be sure to take yard guard, some mosquitos and black flies."
GuideSteep hills and thick terrain can make hiking or bike riding a bit more challenging at Straits State Park but the views are worth it. Rustic camp sites along the shore of clear Lake Huron with the mighty Mackinac Bridge are truly priceless! If you’re about the lifestyle, you will love it! Peaceful and quiet! Only downsides are some sites are unleveled and prone to flooding and bathrooms are not throughout. Overall a must see!
GuideI enjoyed my stay in the Lakeshore section. I had electric only. It was a short walk from my campsite to the beach. During a nice bike ride, I saw the boat launch and picnic area. I was solo, but most were family campers. It felt safe and secure with staff doing regular roundabouts. Bathrooms were fine. The only downside were millions of dead fish flies in the water and shore line, but obviously that was out of our control. It was also a short drive to Mackinac City. Highly recommended!
ScoutWe took a week long motorcycle trip! We pulled in and asked for a site for 2 days. The young lady was very helpful! Cute little beach with views of the bridge. We will definitely stay here again!
RangerStayed here while visiting Mackinac Island. The campground is pretty cramped, but the sites are well maintained. Clean bathrooms. Great location.
ScoutWe are really enjoying our stay here. It’s small, quiet & very clean. They offer a free shuttle to mackinaw ferry. That was really helpful. Everyone here has been friendly. Not a lot of bugs & far enough out of the city that you can’t hear a lot of noise. We will definitely be back.
GuideI loved coming here. We tent camp and stayed in spot 1 and had great privacy being so close to the office. They had complimentary bikes you could use, fire wood and ice for sale, very very clean bathrooms, and the campground is smaller but with large sites. Laundry facility, vending machines, oh and large showers! Highly recommend it.
GuideNice area with good road in. has between 4-6 spots. Lots of mosquitoes is my only mark against it.
GuideStayed here for one night. They have a senior rate. Can only pay by cash or check. Electric and rustic sites. Water is central from an artesian well. Vault toilets and no showers. For the price, I’d stay again
GuideSo many spots with water front or great views of the water. Everything was perfect and beautiful! No need to reserve, lots of room available!
