About
Whispering Surf Campground at Bass Lake embraces the idea of old-fashioned camping - forested with oak, pine and white birch and nestled between the clear blue waters of Bass Lake and the white sands of Lake Michigan. Tucked away in the North Woods, it's a slow-moving pace where you can relax and enjoy the best of what camping has to offer.
The historic Lodge offers recreation for the entire family and is available for group events. Our private beach on Bass Lake is a short walk through the park and the beautiful beaches of Lake Michigan are accessible by a walk down Lakeshore Drive or Sunset Lane. Our dock on Bass Lake is available to tie off your watercraft on a first-come, first-served basis. Canoe and kayak rentals are available. Forget the marshmallows? Stop by our camp store for S'more makings, ice, firewood, and more. Free WiFi is available throughout the park.
Whispering Surf offers a children's playground and group fire pit for evening socializing. Your well-behaved and leashed pet is welcome at Whispering Surf (max 2 dogs) and will enjoy the Bark Park. Our campground is guaranteed clean and friendly!
Reservations are strongly recommended for all weekends & holidays, and for groups.

Absolutely Amazing!!
This was my first time ever tent camping! Normally I am a car camping person, but I decided to give a good old tent a try. I loved it!! This campground was absolutely amazing for me and my 2 best friends. As 3 women sleeping in a tent in the woods, we felt very very safe. The staff does drive by checks on everyone throughout the day and this not only helped us develop a relationship with the staff but also made us feel very safe. The campground was very well taken care of and clean. My friends and I enjoyed renting kayaks from the campground and paddling along bass lake. The staff was really the best part. Everyone we met was so happy, helpful, and really made our stay amazing. They would even bring your firewood to your campsite for you! The campsite store was so helpful and had everything we needed! Thank you to to the staff for making our trip calm and safe. We will definitely be back soon! I also highly recommend checking out Pentwater!

Great little wooded campground.
Owners are great. They escorted us in as it was a little tight with our 40 foot 5th wheel. Great beach area for swimming. Internet is excellent.
