TravelerWe came at the end of the busy season so most of the water and bounce activities were closed. Not a lot of campers and have of spaced out, which kind of sucks since we are almost one of the farthest out. Place does have a lot of bees. They still have hourly/couple hour activities and they were fun! Staff was friendly as well. The golf carts are snazzy too!
TravelerGreat location, right on Lake Huron. They have beach access. It is pretty quiet. This is county park. The only thing we seen was negative was people speeding down the roads. Other than that it’s a great campground, very clean, staff was very friendly. We will definitely return.
TravelerStaff was very nice when we need help and had questions. Campsites were clean. Spaces were a little tight and the fire pits had holes in the bottom that caught the grass on fire. If your interested in wifi, its slow and sucks.
TravelerWooded and quiet. Large sites that are easy to back into. Fire pits and picnic tables in great shape. If you don’t mind not having full hook ups, this is a Great spot for some peace and quiet after a day of traveling.
GuideWe spent a wonderful week at Port Crescent State Park and absolutely loved our stay. We were fortunate enough to land one of the few full-hookup sites, and we ended up on one of the best sites in the campground, backed up to a beautiful waterway. Only negative was the slope, needed more leveling blocks than we had.
The wildlife was a constant highlight. We had geese, swans, and all kinds of other birds and wildlife right outside our site. It really added to the experience.
The entire campground was immaculate. Staff were constantly making rounds, cleaning, and keeping everything looking great. The beach was also within an easy walk from pretty much any site, and it was beautiful. The water and beach were very clean, and the breeze coming off the lake made it easy to spend the entire day there.
We also enjoyed walking down to the public beach and going a little farther beyond it with our family and dogs. There was plenty of room to spread out and enjoy the lake.
Overall, Port Crescent was one of our favorite stops. Beautiful campground, great beach, excellent staff, and an awesome setting. We would definitely come back.
TravelerAbsolutely beautiful campground. Mostly shaded spots with lots of trails, paths and areas to walk. Fantastic for pets. Right on the water so sits a very short walk to the beach if you don’t have a beachfront site.
GuideSmall and quiet campground with around 20 sites. Most sites are quite private and nice size. Vault toilets were well maintained and very clean. Five minute walk to the visitor center and trails. 242 stairs down to the lake and wanigan. Very historical area for the lumberman.
GuideWhat a great find! Bob the camp host was great fun and always available. Our site was perfect with a view of the historic lighthouse and Lake Huron. Everything was well maintained and the entire park was unbelievably quiet.
GuideOver 200 camping spots and only 1 centralized bathroom/shower building. Limited beach access for those not on beach front sites. Not worth staying here unless you want to be surrounded and jammed in with other campers.
