Surf Camp on Lake Michigan

Exactly as advertised, the place is an absolute slice of paradise hidden away outside of a small town down some dirt roads, navigating there was no challenge. If you feel you’ve gone the wrong way just keep going. During our 2 day stay we quickly noticed all of Eli’s recommendations were spot on, Clyde’s was a hit for adults and kids. The gas station has the cleanest restrooms around and an abundance of supplies if you happen to have forgotten anything. Firewood in the area is cheap if you buy roadside local, which I highly recommend. The only negative is in our 2 days we did pick up 3 ticks between the five of us more, don’t let that turn you away from this best of Michigan site.

This site is absolutely incredible. I was beyond excited to stay here and it met all of my expectations. It is so close to Lake Michigan and the scenery is beautiful. You can camp right on the beach and sands of Lake Michigan. It is very private and secluded just like the UP I imagined. Eli has a lot of things there like a kayak, chairs, grill for over the fire, a canopy tent. (Not sure if this is all for guests to use but if it is it would really just make this site even better!) Only downfall is the toilet. Over and over I highly recommend this campsite.

We had a great weekend at Eli’s camp!! It is as advertised. A beautiful quaint spot among the trees and gorgeous wide open views of the lake. The sand was really clean and nice. It was quite breezy on the beach but we plan to book again in the summer… I’m sure it would be a whole different camp experience! We have a 32 foot motorhome and it was pretty tight on both the property and the roads coming in. This would be an excellent spot to bring a tent and really rough it!!! Bugs weren’t bad but we did pull off a few ticks. There was a portable toilet available but no privacy FYI!

Location was unbeatable and the drive in is just as praiseworthy, would recommend this spot to anyone

We had an AMAZING stay at Eli’s camp on our road trip through the Great Lakes. The lake was beautiful and calm. The weather was perfect, so we were able to enjoy a beautiful sunset AND sunrise! We made a fire in the fire pit next to the camper, and set up our tent on the edge beach. It was perfect! FYI: No designated area to do your business, so be sure to bring a little shovel and practice proper backwoods guidelines for that 👍🏻

We loved staying at the surf camp. The setting is ideal to relax and take in the beauty of Lake Michigan. We loved running around with our dogs on the beach and waking up to sunrise with a cup of coffee. 10/10 recommend if you are looking for a place to camp in Wiggins point. We are already looking forward to our next stay!

Our stay at surf camp was absolutely incredible! A beautiful, quiet spot on Lake Michigan. We set up our tents right on the beach. The star gazing was unreal our first night, we saw the milky way! It was about an hour to Munising, which was perfect! We would recommend to anyone looking to stay someplace secluded and magical!

Wow, surf camp is right. There is a shallow area leading to shore so there are constant waves breaking. It was very relaxing like being on the ocean. There were almost no mosquitoes and a great breeze coming off the lake. Excellent little camp spot.

The view and beach area is absolutely gorgeous and perfect. We parked our 25 ft RV at the end of the lot horizontal to the two track and maximized the space available. Nice sandy bottom areas to swim within feet up the beach. Cool to have 2 fire pits!
