~ Newly Renovated June 2025 ~ 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.Tucked away in a quiet vacation community near Au Gres, Michigan, this private one-acre campsite offers a peaceful place to unwind, just a short walk from the shores of Lake Huron. Ideal for small groups or couples, the site is perfect for a weekend of beach time, bonfires, and exploring local towns—without breaking the bank. The property is reserved entirely for you and includes three distinct areas to set up tents, plus space for a small vehicle or campervan. The site is easy to access with any 2WD vehicle and has a mostly level, grassy surface up front, while the rear transitions into a shady wooded section with a quiet walking trail—great for morning coffee or stargazing at night. The lot is clearly marked with pink boundary flags, so you'll know exactly where your space begins and ends. While the site itself offers a good sense of privacy, it's located within a friendly lakeside neighborhood and is bordered by a few nearby homes. The road sees occasional vehicle traffic but remains peaceful overall. One of the biggest perks? A hidden public access point to Lake Huron is just a 4- to 5-minute walk from the property. At the end of the road, a narrow public path between private homes leads to a quiet stretch of shoreline. Right before the water, there’s a small wooded area that’s available for our guests to set up chairs and relax—perfect for watching the waves or catching the sunset. You can also walk right out to the sand and explore the beach from there. Photos of the beach path and wooded sitting area are included in the listing. There’s no running water or restroom on-site, so campers should come prepared with drinking water and a camp toilet. Pets are welcome, and fires are allowed as long as they’re safely contained. For supplies or a quick outing, both Tawas City and Au Gres are a short 10-minute drive and offer everything from local diners to bait shops and beachy boutiques. This site is best suited for travelers looking for a relaxed, convenient place to spend a night or two after a day of swimming, hiking, or town-hopping. If you're seeking deep woods isolation, this might not be the spot—but for easy camping near the beach with a touch of woodland charm, it’s a perfect fit.
