"They have lots of activities, a lake, trails, everything. Definitely coming back."
TravelerThis place is magical! There is lake access along with dispersed and established sites. Some sites are right on the lake. Wind picks up mid day so I went out on the lake with my kayak early. The road in rocky, steep and narrow. Ideally a high clearance vehicle but an suv will probably make it
ScoutFri night 6 pm the office was closed, guard shack was closed. The girl at the convenience store, said come back Monday, maybe they would be open
GuideSite 15 is a great spot off the road with a firepit.
ScoutWould not recommend. Upkeep is minimal and cleanliness is almost non-existent. Rules are rarely enforced and seasonal campers think they are above the law.

TravelerDrove out to this campsite after spending the day swimming in Lake Michigan at the Recreation area which is down the road. There’s ~ 15 sites down this road, and each of them were gorgeous, some very large and very private.
TravelerUnfortunately, tents have to be on pavement and weighted down because stakes can’t be put in. Sites don’t have fire pits either. There is not really a view of the lake at all, but it is a minute walk to the big beach which is nice. Bring a fire pit and a camper, not tents. Beach is beautiful.
ScoutWe came for the weekend and loved it. So glad I found this campground!
LegendThis place looks impressive at first as you drive in through closely packed seasonal campers.... But it improves dramatically as you drive over the hill and into the hollow where there are nicely spaced sites scattered across a field with a great playground and a path to Bass Lake. The best thing by far is the dual access to the STUNNING beach on Lake Michigan. You can paddle through Bass Lake and into the river straight down to the dam at the big lake, where you are met with beautiful dunes and a little swimming hole. The rivers confluence with Lake Michigan makes the water warmer there, and the lake water is so clear. The sand is a beautiful fine white. Amazing. You can also walk there down a quiet street, about 3/4 mile. Take a right out of the campground and the your first left. The other beach isn't as scenic. Loved this place and the quaint surrounding area
