A few nice hiking trails, small visitor center with a few turtles and fish to see. Very nice beach, restrooms and changing areas available, no lifeguards. Out of state costs: $11 per day (or $39 annual pass) gets you into all state parks. Note for dog owners: we were told that state park beaches allow dogs 100 feet from the swimming area which is marked by buoys. Nice place to spend the day!

Clean camping areas and nice beach. Be sure to adhere your Michigan sticker to your windshield. Ours was stolen from our vehicle.

A wonderful state park with a beautiful beach and a small nature center as well. The best way I've experienced the park is with camping there however, there are plenty of nice things about the day use area too.

Don’t sneeze to loud, the DNR might come shut you down. This campsite caters to the 8:00am-7pm crowd. We were quietly talking around the campfire and DNR came and said they could hear us from the street, at 10:00 on a Saturday. Karen next door complained about owls being too loud. 10/10 would not recommend. Pretty nice activity field though.

Great hiking both on and off the beach. There are also steps up to a lookout area. May choices, easy parking, and a visitor center with restrooms and limited hours.

Beautiful beach in a natural setting. Short walk from parking lot with restrooms and changing rooms. Powdery sand and gorgeous shoreline perfect for a long walk. Also enjoyed the 1 mile wall loop trail through the forest.

The beach was beautiful, although it’s a bit of a hike to get to it. That’s about all I can say that’s positive about this campground. The sites are tiny and crammed together. Cars are parked all over the place making it hard to park a trailer amd get it out. This is the only campground in MI that prohibits alcohol, which was strange. It seemed like mostly IL people at the campground, which made it feel noticeably less friendly than other campgrounds we’ve stayed at. MI state campgrounds aren’t very nice, in general, but this one is one of the worst ones, IMO. This was our first and last time we will ever go to this campground. Yuck.

We drove up from Spring Lake and would gladly do it again. Well worth the admission fee. Better waves and scenery here than a little south.
