"The beach is a short walk from any site, mostly sandy with small rocks occasionally. There is a boat launch which is extremely popular and the bass and walleye fishing can't be beat."
"Everything was accurate and the Michigan parks website is a breeze to use.
NOT ALL THE SITES UAVE FULL HOOKUPS. I did not realize this when booking. Nobody's fault but mine."
"We spent two nights here on our trip to Michigan. We were quite pleased with the campsites and how large they are."
"My grandparents were in the site next to me in their camper and I had to walk a ways to see their spot."
"Monroe is minutes away with every food, and convenience option needed."
"Basketball court, sand volleyball, playground, dog run, batting cages and go karts within walking distance. Very friendly staff and knowledgeable of the area."
"Highly recommend Wilderness State Park Campground on the north western point of lower Michigan! It’s amazing to see the sunset and the sunrise from the same spot and the Mackinaw Bridge!"
"The campground is also close to a lot of restaurants and shopping."

"I would guess 22 feet wide and I only had 5 feet behind my 30 foot camper until you reach the next camper."
"We live close to this campground so it was a fun weekend getaway. The kids loved playing on the water slide and swimming in the pond."

"Been here 3 times now, and will return again.
11 is a great spot in the corner as far away from the house and entrance as you can get, almost always the first site booked lol."
"Very close to our house just a nice little getaway. We enjoyed the Halloween weekends. We decorate big and enjoyed other decorations as well!"
"Site was across the small road from the lake. Plenty of trees all around. Good for shade and natural comforts of the day."
"Super cute play grounds all around, one even 10 feet from our site. Friendly campers around however the site were a little close to each for our taste."
"Site H3 was a good one as it had no site next to it on one side.
Bath/Shower house: In our loop, the bathhouse was clean."
GuideStayed just one night on our way up to the UP. Was relatively quite as it was midweek in May. Could get busy and sites are close together but no one was around. Some nice walking and birding trails from the site.
GuideGreat starter campground which is just what we wanted - my buddy and I took his 6 year old camping for the first time.
The sites were not as secluded as I’d prefer but we made do. Nice hiking trails around the camp.
Watch out for ticks though.
ScoutNice little campground for a little getaway, great place for camping with kids, plenty to do from swim, fish, bike the whole park, play at the park, watch movies at night in the community pavilion, campsites are nice, have electric, water and some have sewer. Prices are good.
ScoutSite D10 was massive, had a creek running alongside of it. And was hidden behind lots of trees. Will be back

GuideVery nice campground, it’s large so if you’re walking around, remember to take a map. The campground is right on the shore of Lake Erie, there are a few restaurants nearby. The sites vary in size, lots of shade trees where we camped. There are picnic tables and fire rings, some sites have FHUs, some standard electric, and of course, primitive.
TravelerThis is a wonderful campsite to check out in the off season, it does fill up quickly when camping season kicks off and spots are very close together. Quite a few level areas so works well for tent or camper vans. A couple pit toilets and water pump are on sight.
LegendGeneral: Large state park with 256 campsites, all with electric (20-30-50 amp) hookups. Sites 1-11 and 21-29 have full hookups (water, sewer, electric). Also, there are a lodge and cabins. The park is very well maintained. This park is close to Toledo and within spitting distance of several refineries although you’d never know it!
Site Quality: All sites are very generous in size and appear to be spaced with a decent amount of space apart with foliage providing varying levels of privacy. Some have beautiful trees that in peak fall color would be stunning. All camper pads are paved and long enough to accommodate large RVs. Some have concrete pads for picnic tables, although the sites in our loop did not. A wooden picnic table and fire ring complete each site.
Restroom/Shower house: Very clean, however, bathhouses are shared between two loops. Each bathhouse only has two shower stalls, which may necessitate a wait when the campground is full. A hook and a small bench but nowhere to put soap/shampoo in the shower. Good warm water.
Activities/Amenities: So much to do! Several lakes are good for fishing or boating. Many trails, some grassy and some paved are good for walking, running, and biking. A beautiful and extensive boardwalk constructed by the Ohio Civilian Conservation Corps is available only for foot traffic. Bike rentals are available. A small camp store. Laundry facilities. Donuts and muffins on the weekends. Several playgrounds. Bird houses and feeders are located throughout the park and especially in the spring, you can hear many varieties of birds chirping (however, you will also experience the by-products of so many birds!). Excellent cell service (Verizon). There is also a dump station.
There was a warning that due to the proximity to an urban area campers, bikes, etc. should be locked up but I didn't feel that vibe.
We enjoyed two stays at this campground, once in September and once in May. Even though this large campground was full when we were there on a weekend in September, we did not feel overcrowded. There were many empty campsites when we were there during the week in May (the week before Memorial Day); we very much enjoyed our stay both times!
