Best Hipcamp in Michigan Finalist Just 20 minutes from Kitch-iti-kipi, surf camp is the quintessential U.P. hideaway. Located on Lake Michigan’s Garden Peninsula, the east-facing beach is perfect for watching sunrises with your morning coffee. Enjoy evening campfires tucked in a cedar grove or take the kayak for a paddle to have an authentic Michigan experience. Perfect for writing or meditation retreats and family getaways. Conveniently located, it's a short drive to Kitch-iti-kipi (Big Spring), Fayette State Historic Park, and an easy day trip to Marquette or Pictured Rocks in Munising. The camper on site will be locked, but feel free to tent, car camp, or bring your own small RV/camoer here as well. The site includes a self-contained privy. No electricity or water hookups make this a rustic experience.✨Best Hipcamp in Michigan Finalist Located on Wiggins point on Northern Lake Michigan’s Garden Peninsula, the east-facing beach is perfect for watching sunrises with your morning coffee.

Surf Camp on Lake Michigan
Absolutely gorgeous site! You can hear the waves all night and see incredible sunrises right on the water. Many fire pits all over and a hand saw and axe on site if needed! My only recommendation would be to bring tick repellent and thoroughly check as we found many on our bodies and clothes during our stay. It’s especially bad this season, be safe!

Surf Camp on Lake Michigan
Let me just say the privacy at the campsite is really nice (I went in late April). Stocked up with firewood, an outhouse to do #2 in, right on the Lake Michigan beach. My dog had an amazing time running around the beach and the night sky on a clear day is a must watch from the beach. Definitely coming back again, just don’t know when! Love it!

We had a great time at Surf Camp. Eli had the wood stacked and ready for us to enjoy. We camped in late December and we had the place to ourselves. We really enjoyed setting up our tent on the beach on the sand. We definitely want to return and enjoy the beach during the warmer months. We will post our stay on YouTube at Get Livin Outdoors.

Pretty cool spot but a little spendy for off season and its proximity between two close house neighbors. provided firewood is a nice touch though.

The whole experience was amazing! The spot is perfect, the communication with Eli was exemplary, the peace and quiet was exactly what i expected, the fire pit area was so perfectly situated, the lake sounds were soothing and all of it makes me want to drive up from FL again so i can experience it again!
