## Overview

 Sand Lake Campground is situated on the scenic shores of Sand Lake and provides a selection of sites shaded by a mixed hardwood forest. Just beyond the trees is a well-loved, sandy swimming beach. The campground is located 15 minutes from the Pine National Scenic River and several other lakes. The popular campground sits within the Huron-Manistee National Forests, far enough from town to let its natural splendor shine, but close enough for convenient access to gas and groceries.
## Recreation

 Power boating, sailing, canoeing, hiking and swimming are some of the most common activities on the lake. Anglers delight in the waters well-stocked with bluegill, perch and smallmouth bass. A picnic area and boat ramp are available for use.
## Facilities

 The campground provides conveniences like coin showers, flush toilets and drinking water faucets. Visitors often rave about the nice, private bathrooms with vanities.
## Natural Features

 Sand Lake boasts about 50 acres of mostly shallow waters. The campground is nicely wooded; some sites are heavy shaded while others are much more open. Summertime temperatures are generally around 80 degrees. The Huron-Manistee National Forests encompass nearly a million acres of public protected land, including nearly 6,000 acres of wetlands that extend over the northern portion of Michigan\'s Lower Peninsula.

Sand Lake Campground - Manistee National Forest

Sand Lake is a quiet wooded campground. Most of the sites have a good amount of trees between them, but there is a loop with fewer trees that is ideal for a group/family camp trip. The lake is clean and quiet for the most part, although there are usually a couple of motorized boats out on weekends. The bathrooms and showers are usually cleaned daily, so despite dirty camping conditions, they remain pretty nice. Nearby Dublin has a nice general store with popular housemade jerky. 

Great family vacation spot

Beautiful spot between Sharon and Rainbow Jim’s bridge.

Beautiful overlook

Sand Lake is a really nice, well kept campground. Beautiful area, nice beach on a clean lake, and spacious campsites. It’s only about a 30 minute trip to Lake Michigan if you wanted to spend a day on a beach there. The folks working there were super friendly and helpful!

Perfect Getaway!

A mix of reservable and first come first serve sites.   A clean beach.   Rustic, but with a modern bathhouse including showers.   Only complaint was the pricing...  $32 seems pricey for rustic.
