D.H. Day Group Campground offers a beautiful setting with clear check-in directions and a nice park atmosphere. Site 1 is shaded and ideal for large groups, with convenient access to the Heritage Trail for beach walks and the Dune Climb. Visitors should remember to bring water and avoid the pit toilets.

I’ve been camping at DH Day several times a year since 1982. I am not a fan of your new reservation only policy. Thus, I moved to other campgrounds this summer, since you are always fully booked months in advance. It is only possible to get a site in the spring or fall. So disappointed that you don’t have some sites that are non reservation.

Great location for a fun, rustic group trip with 3 families and a couple friends. So much to do in the area.

Dune climb is great fun, unless you are out of shape.

The people in the groups around us were very loud but I guess that’s what you expect when you’re at a group campground.

This is our 20th year camping here and it was as wonderful as ever. The location is well cared for and the check-in was easy. Enjoyed climbing the dune behind the campsite off the bike trail, kayaking the river, and spending time in charming Glen Arbor.

We stayed in a group site. It was beautiful and clean. The Ranger who checked us in was kind and helpful. We enjoyed our stay!

Great location with access to the park facilities nearby. Park needs to enforce quiet hours better.

The group sites were perfect for our hiking group. Because of Covid we opted to camp DH Day. We usually go to South Manitou Island. This was our 21st year of all girl group hiking/camping.

Our students from Living Stones Academy in Grand Rapids had a fabulous time at DH Day group sites. Matt Mohrman was helpful in setting us up to do a service project in the park. The staff we encountered were friendly and helpful.
