Wide Waters Dispersed Camping

Fairly large area of sandy meadow, interspersed with copses of trees to give a greater sense of privacy. A lot of truck traffic and ATVs during the day. We were there with two or three other campers Labor Day weekend. Very few bugs, several established fire rings. Several vehicles seem to have been left here in the open for long-term storage. And a large tractor tire was dumped here, as well as springs from an old car seat or mattress. Other than that, it was pretty clean. Fairly good gravel road access, but once you're there, be careful not to get stuck in the sand. Despite the signage, the road does not go through to Whitefish Point.

Came to here from the smaller beach spot that was full, plenty of space but the bugs will kill you in August.

Stayed here when the state park campground was full. This is an actual campsite because there was a fire ring. Bugs were bad so we didn’t leave our van. No one came by while we were there.

We spent about an hour exploring the surrounding roads for a better spot but it's all residential with some narrow and overgrown logging roads. Ended up coming back down to this spot which is just a little parking round-about. It's not private but no one drove by until morning and it's flat and spacious for bigger rigs.

Easy in and out. open area and trees on perimeter. Looks like its an ATV staging area. No starlink, no Cell service. Bring your bug spray!
