1 site · RV, Tent1 acre · Au Gres, MILooking for a laid-back, budget-friendly spot to enjoy the beach and unwind by a campfire? Our one-acre campsite near Au Gres, Michigan, is a great fit for small groups or couples who want easy access to Lake Huron, nearby towns, and a safe, convenient place to camp for the night.
The front of the property offers a grassy, open area with enough space to park an SUV or small campervan and set up a few tents. Pop-up campers can fit, but space is tight and not ideal. The lot becomes fully wooded toward the back, with a short walking path winding through the trees.
While not secluded, the property is clearly marked with pink boundary flags and is surrounded by a few neighboring homes, some of which have a partial view of the campsite. The neighbors are friendly, and the road the property sits on sees occasional vehicle traffic throughout the day.
A 4-minute walk down the street brings you to an uncrowded public access point to Lake Huron, a true hidden gem with soft sand and spectacular views. It’s the perfect daytime escape for swimming, sunbathing, or simply relaxing by the water. Please note, it's about a 5-minute walk from the campsite, and you will need to cross US-23 (which is safe).
You can return to the site in the evening for a cozy bonfire under the stars. And if you’re up for a little exploring, both Tawas City and Au Gres are only 10 minutes away and filled with charming shops, local eats, and small-town character.
This campsite is best suited for small groups seeking an affordable and accessible basecamp, not for those looking for a deep-woods, off-grid experience. Whether planning a quick weekend getaway or a beach day followed by a night under the stars, this retreat offers the perfect blend of nature, convenience, and value.
