The campground is nestled in a beautiful, historic setting that campers find both peaceful and fascinating. With mature shade trees, charming historic buildings, and a nature trail, it's a lovely backdrop for a relaxing retreat. The proximity to town and the marina adds convenience, while the friendly staff and well-maintained facilities enhance the overall experience. However, campers should note that amenities like electricity are limited, and the bathrooms are not open all night.

Fantastic experience staying at a very unique site. Great spot under the stars near the campfire site. Plenty of places to explore. We toured the mansion on property and walked the path through the historic village. Later we walked the path around the property. Dan was there when we arrived and helped us to our site. We had the whole place to ourselves at night. Very clean bathroom on property if needed. Great experience and I would highly recommend.

Suited us very well. For public museum with a Halloween Venture for kids, that was an enjoyable party. Never a noisy day and peaceful nights. The visitors were pleasantly talkative with input of the Port Sanilac history. Google Maps sent us in the wrong direction but phone call to our host directed to and met us on the grounds. I hope to be back next fall.

This is a fabulous place. We were met as we pulled in and told where to park which was in front of the train depot. It was an excellent spot on the grass and was level. We enjoyed the little trail and historic buildings. It is obvious they take pride in this place. It was peaceful.

Nice grounds and close enough to town to be convenient. Walked to marina and coffee shop every day. Sanilac Coffee is great. Restaurant next door. Bathrooms were open the whole weekend so that was nice. Dog friendly space with lots of room to walk them.

The Sanilac Historic Village and Museum property is a wonderful place to camp. It's well worth the stop. Not only can you explore the historic buildings and property, a short walk down the road is the Stone Lodge where we have enjoyed many great meals. Port Sanilac is about a 10 minute walk where we discovered the Alli bar - fun place with live music.
