Lake Michigan at St. Ignace

Cave-man sites worth filling up the freshwater tank to enjoy. We will be stopping for more than an overnight next time!

Beautiful spot... big sites

Very nice campground with a beautiful beach. Was surprised that the camp host was assessing an “early arrival fee”. There were blue paper notes on each site post saying there was an early arrival fee if you arrive before 2pm. When I asked the camp host about it, they said they charge an extra $22 if you arrive early, which is the cost of an extra night. They said it was national forest service policy, but we’ve camped at about a dozen national forest campgrounds in 2022 and have never seen this, and I could find nothing online about it in the camping regulations and fees.

We stayed here in a trailer. Not all sites are suitable for a RV or trailer. Probably more tents than RVs during our stay. Good privacy between sites. Easy access to Lake Michigan is a huge Plus.

Great camp site! Very clean upon arrival. As always, firewood is overpriced, but that’s a drop in the bucket for the experience. Road noise is a little much, but it’s also expected being so close to a major artery of the UP. Caution for the mice- took one home in our beach bag- quite the circus driving down the road when he came out of the bag!!

Perfect one night stop location on our way to Pictured rocks! Had our own path to the beach with the most gorgeous sunset. Host was super nice on top of it too! Definitely recommend this campground for the UP!

Love this campground. The perfect amount of rustic and the campground host is very friendly, knowledgeable, and does an excellent job keeping the place clean!

Nice sites and private between despite being close. Only drawback was US-2 noise but still worth the views and proximity of the lake. Very friendly Camp hosts. We would definitely come back again!

This gorgeous campground is tucked between Lake Michigan (with lovely dunes and sandy beach) and the ultra-busy Highway 2. So it beautiful and perfect for enjoying the water and beach, but once you are back at your site, you hear the fairly constant rumble of trucks and cars whizzing past. If you don't mind sleeping with that sound, or if you are using a camper with good noise insulation, then it should be fine. If you are sensitive to sound or camping in a tent (like we were), you may find the highway noise bothersome. Overall, it is a great spot with large sites and well maintained pit toilets. Perfect for enjoying the beach, and often used as a stop-over or launching spot for other adventures. Closest store (has everything but closes at 6pm!) and restaurant (White Tail Restaurant) are both 4 miles away in Brevort. Firewood ($7) and ice ($2.50) are available from the helpful camp hosts. No shower, no electrical.
