Private One-Acre Campsite Near the Beach
Enjoy a peaceful and affordable escape just minutes from Lake Huron with this one-acre private campsite in Au Gres, Michigan. When you book, you get the entire property to yourself—no other campers. The space is clearly marked with pink boundary flags and includes three roomy areas perfect for pitching tents, parking an SUV, or setting up a small campervan. Pop-up campers can fit, but space is tight and better for simple setups.
The front of the property is grassy and open, while the rear features a wooded section with a short walking path. Behind the site is a larger wooded parcel that isn’t part of the Hipcamp, but it adds to the secluded, natural feel.
Just a 4–5 minute walk brings you to a quiet public access point to Lake Huron. The road dead-ends at private homes, and between them is a public footpath to the beach. Before the shoreline, you'll find a small 20-yard-wide wooded area where our guests can set up chairs and enjoy the view—feel free to walk beyond to the sandy beach as well. A photo of this spot is included in the listing.
While the campsite isn’t totally secluded—there are a few nearby homes and occasional daytime traffic—you’ll still enjoy full privacy on your acre with room to unwind, make a fire, and relax under the stars.
This spot is best for couples or small groups looking for a low-key beach getaway close to nature and just 10 minutes from the shops and restaurants of Au Gres and Tawas City.

Had a great time camping on Dennis's land. Very private and quiet, even in the winter with no leaves there was no signs of neighbors. Dennis was quick to respond to any questions.

Great spot if you are looking to get away from city noise and lights. Heard nothing but nature. Dennis was quick to respond. Dennis came to check in with us and ask if we needed anything shortly after arriving. If you like coney dogs, stop at the coney trailer in Sanford. We will be back.

The campsite was incredibly private, surrounded by nature, and had beautiful trails right from the site. Perfect for relaxing, disconnecting, or just enjoying quiet time in nature. The host was also great — communicative and welcoming. We’d absolutely come back!

Perfect spot for a relaxing getaway. The river is beautiful to watch, lots of wildlife and fantastic sunsets right in front of you. You are able to fish right from your site. The hosts were very helpful and friendly. This will be our annual fishing spot.

The host greeted me on arrival while filling water dishes for dogs along the drive - very cool. He pointed out walking paths and made sure I had his number. You drive nearly a mile into the woods to reach the site — total privacy and solitude, 10/10. Quietest spot I’ve camped at all year. Any distant sounds are rare, brief, and far off. Most of the time, it’s completely silent — even wildlife was minimal when I stayed. You can turn in a full circle and see nothing manmade except the picnic table. No people, wires, lights — just woods. Site is shaded with some sunlight, has a solid picnic table, a well-placed firepit, and a generous stack of firewood. This site would be perfect for anyone looking to fully unplug, be alone, or just enjoy the silence.

I had a very relaxing time tent camping on Dennis’s site. Very remote for those looking for complete alone time. I felt safe the whole time which is important for any solo campers. There is a clearing by the site for fantastic star gazing, plenty of wood for fires and a nice picnic table. Lots and lots of bugs and black flies, so bring the DEET and I had success with some insect repellent incense sticks I placed around. I highly recommend this site for anyone looking to be off the grid for a bit. Thank you, Dennis.

Really flexible host. I was rolling through the UP on my way to Montana and asked last minute if I could camp around 9:00, Dennis was really easy going and the spot was nice and private so I didn’t feel awkward changing clothes/setting things up. I’d stay again if I were visiting the UP, makes a really nice base camp. Thanks Dennis!

Cute spot! It was a bit confusing to find at first but once I was settled I enjoyed my time. Some of the reviews had me nervous because I’m fairly picky when it comes to wanting an “in nature” experience- though you are fairly close to a road and not completely secluded in the middle of the woods, I thought the campsite itself still felt nice and private and gave me the woodsy feel. Unfortunately I can’t speak on the lake access.. I ended up spending the day in Tawas Point State Park. Anyway I thought it was a good spot 👍

I loved the spot for the campsite. We could get into the site with our suburban. The walk to the beach did feel like walking through someone's back yard but it was a public road. We would definitely come back for the views!

We stayed on Mark's land when my husband was in the area working. Easy access, trash pick up, plenty of room for parking, on a large lot. Close to stores, gas station, laundry and other conveniences. Mark responds to all messages and is quick to help. Would definitely stay again.
