"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. "
"Lake Michigan beach, bith stones and sand, hiking trails from easy to medium hard. On bike trail that extends north to Harbor Springs and south to Charleviox - scenic and paved."
"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."
"Open to a magnificent view of the sapphire and aqua blue water of Little Traverse Bay, this park is tucked away below US-31."

"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."
"Our family really enjoyed the scenery and the proximity to Charlevoix and Lake Michigan. Unfortunately we just couldn’t quite handle the level of mosquitos there."

"very nice lake and beach
bathrooms and amenities are excellent
sites are close to each other, you can hear the other campers talking next to you

"The Straits State Park in Michigan's Upper Penninsula sits on the North end of the Mackinaw Bridge in St. Ignace."
TravelerSo many spots with water front or great views of the water. Everything was perfect and beautiful! No need to reserve, lots of room available!
TravelerTons of sites here and most are easily accessible with just about any car. Unfortunately it’s quite popular and there’s lots of trash in some areas.
ScoutSite 69 was large enough for our class C 31ft motorhome, didn't take much to level. It did rain pretty hard plus wind and with lots of trees many branches and such on top of our rig afterwards. That doesn't bother me but if it bothers you , you may want another place being this has lots of trees.
ScoutSo close to the beach! Large, well kept sites. Campground will close Labor Day for a year to up grade sewer. No city water or sewer hook ups. 30 amp or 20 amp electric.
TravelerWe had a full hook up site, the pictures on the site obviously were way better than the actual site (203), there was no shower house near our camping section. The biting insects were SOOOO bad while we were there
LegendHuge campground in a wonderful location. They have everything here- huge playground, pool, beach, great store, lots to do. The view of the lake from our site was spectacular. There is a beautiful grassy and rocky shoreline that is lined with fire pits for viewing the sunset and bridge lights in the evening. Very cool and communal in a good way. You buy your ferry tickets to Mackinaw Island at the camp store and it's 10 minutes to get there with boats leaving every 30 minutes. The island is amazing and worth a day of your life to ride around it on a bike and get some good food and fudge.
TravelerWonderful time at Leelanau at a waterfront site in a tent. Rangers were so nice and helpful, the sites in great condition, and the “outhouses” always clean. While most supplies, including firewood, are available through the rangers and camp store, the town of Northport, with Tom’s Grocery, is only 10 mins away. I had a great experience with quiet neighbors. Hiking is available in the park, and kayak and bike rentals are available in Leland.
GuideA beautiful campsite on the water. We were the only campers this time of the year, so it was very peaceful and quiet. Barbara runs this campground out of her home on site. She is a wonderful lady.
TravelerWe’ve been here several times and it’s one of our favorites. However, there are a lot of bugs, some biting, this time of year. We will definitely be back but will avoid May and June. AT&T reception is good. Good Ranger presence too.
