The Sanilac County Historic Village and Museum is a preserved 10-acre historic campus in the Lake Huron harbor village of Port Sanilac, Michigan. The property features 17 historic structures on the original Dr. Joseph Loop estate, including the 1872 Loop-Harrison Mansion, a one-room schoolhouse, general store, historic church, train depot, hearse shed, and the 1942 U.S. Army Troop Train.
This is a working nonprofit historic site — not a traditional campground. Guests enjoy a genuinely private, quiet overnight experience surrounded by history, mature trees, and maintained gardens.
The Grounds
A one-mile walking path winds through 14 gardens, across bridges and boardwalks, past historic structures, and along a nature trail. Benches, swings, and quiet seating areas are found throughout. Two communal bonfire pits are available for guest use — firewood bundles available for purchase with advance notice appreciated. Wildlife is frequently observed on the grounds.
Museum & Programming
Guided mansion tours and museum access are available during operating hours. The campus hosts seasonal programming including live theatre at the historic Barn Theatre, a Friday Farmers' Market, live music, historical re-enactments, and rotating events throughout the summer. There is consistently something happening at the museum — guests are encouraged to check current scheduling.
Connectivity & Amenities
Guest Wi-Fi is available in and near the mansion but does not extend reliably to camping areas. Guests should plan to be self-contained. RV sites only — tent camping is not available at this time.
The Surrounding Area
The campus is within walking distance of Lake Huron's harbor, public beach, break wall, and lakeside park. The historic Port Sanilac Lighthouse offers tours on summer Fridays. Restaurants, bars, and shopping are a short walk away. Live music at the harbor park runs every Saturday evening during summer months.

Neal was a wonderful host with excellent communication throughout. Even directed us to a local dump station. The land is beautiful and we had a great time. Pretty quiet there too. Lots of wildflowers to look at, trails in the woods to walk, and sooo many different dragonflies - which were fun to watch. Fishing in the pond was nice too. Also saw a red squirrel, deer, and various birds. Very nice to reconnect with nature, as we are from the city!

I loved this place! So quiet and serene. Neal was an excellent host, even brought a new fire pit out bc the spot I chose didn’t have one close by. I was able to get in fine with my promaster class b, but after a good rain the road was a little dicey for 2WD. Would definitely stay again if I’m in the area!

Wonderful venue!! We didn’t realize until we arrived, this is not a “campground“ but a historical village, and you camp on their grounds. The only negative would be that there’s no shower, but that was not a big deal. We went to a play at The Barn Theater onsite - perfect for us theater folk!
We were tempted to leave a bad review so we could have the place to ourselves, but that wouldn’t be fair!! Quiet, beautiful, lots of things to do in the area - what’s not to love?!!

This little hidden gem is perfect for those in southeast Michigan who want that up north feeling—without the long drive or the bears. The site I stayed at was incredibly spacious, and well laid out.
The amenities were thoughtful, with a fire extinguisher right at the pit making it the safest setup I’ve used. The trails were a nice bonus, good for a relaxed walk through the trees. Firewood was plentiful and good quality.
Because it’s not rural, you do occasionally hear traffic in the distance, but it fades into the background. At night, what stands out are the crickets and forest sounds.
Overall, it’s spacious, safe, well-stocked, and tucked away in the trees. I'm already planning my return trip!
