Great Campground!

Really enjoyed Fisherman’s Island on the shores of Lake Michigan! We were in site 2 and it was very spacious and flat, with a fire pit and picnic table. Mature trees surrounded the whole site, which really gave it a woodsy feel. Site 2 was directly across from a water station and just a few hundred feet from the pit toilet, which was well kept.

A quick (less than 3 min walk) to the beach, which can be accessed by two short paths (one you have to jump down over some roots, so stay on the one to the left). Really nice beach for most of the shoreline and then becomes rockier as you go one way. Beautiful sunsets. The water was cold, but swimmable temperature-wise (not for too long). Lots of rock throwing into the lake, which my 5-year old loves to do (slow-mo video in the pictures).

Quick drive to Charlevoix. Very easy to access the state park and they sell firewood in the park (actually right next to Site 2).
