Really cool spot! Host said we could take any site since we were the only ones there! It was too dark to find the beach site but after walking over to it, it was beautiful. Highly recommend if you need to stay in the area!

4 nights at Hidden Meadow

Jeannie & I loved Phil & Stormy's Place. It was quiet this time of year, and we were lucky to be the only folks at their Camp. They definitely had made it their own, and have great amenities. Firewood & Firepit, 30 amp service, a water hose , picnic table & dry kindling.. 2 Porta Potties on site, and a RV cleanout. Great Wooden games around the site for folks enjoyment. Phil is a world renown Game maker who makes Games and interesting items, which he makes in his shop on site. Sends it all around the world. Besides meeting Phil and Chit chatting, because we are both Hip Camp Hosts, Phil gave us a tour of his Shop and woodworking area. Pretty impressive. He was a great host, and is Passionate about Kubb, a Yard game that was originally played overseas, but because of Phi, brought the game to the US. He actually has his own playing field. We plan on visiting again, as we loved the vibe

Weekend Trip to Tiki Hut Yurts

The yurts were SO cute! The lights were gorgeous and the bathrooms were way more than I expected (a full private bathroom!). The space heater kept us VERY cozy. We were far away enough from our neighbors that we didn’t see or hear anyone else at night. Everything here was great and we highly recommend staying here!!

Well-kept, even grounds tucked in a hidden meadow. More space between rental spaces than an RV park. Owner leaves out a box of kindling for the fire. Will definitely make this a repeat spot on trips to Petoskey and the UP.

Kenny

Weekend Trip to Just Show Up Camping

I loved the view! Granted it was very windy the day I stayed there so that’s something to consider since your by lake. Very easy to get to the site and overall pretty clean. Had some clutter here and there but not a big deal. My only major critique is one, maybe put stone down on the path to the beach because it had really deep ruts and it was very muddy. I got my car stuck quite a few times. The other is the shower water did not really get warm. Again, not the end of the world but addressing those few things would make the site even better than it already is. Overall I’d give it an 8/10

My family loved camping at Sandra's campsite! Her Yurt tents were wonderful! It was very peaceful being tucked in the woods with gorgeous lights in and around the tent. Sites are far enough apart so you are able to relax on your own. Yurt tents had comfortable beds, lights, coffee makers, heater/fan, and wood delivered daily. Everything was perfect

We (39') are parallel to the road facing the electrical connections, grill, and campfire.

The best camping in Burt Lake State Park, MI guide

Overview

About

Boaters of the world, unite! (Fishers and swimmers, too.) Located along the celebrated Inland Waterway of Michigan, Burt Lake State Park will provide you with hours of fun in the sun and water. But don’t be fooled by its sandy beaches and summery persona. The park’s more than 400 acres encompass trails for skiing and snowmobiling in winter, plus hiking in any season. If that weren’t enough, its world-class vibe pushes beyond the scope of the outdoor enthusiast. Just 30 miles from tourist-friendly Mackinaw City and posh Mackinac Island—and within easy driving distance of multiple restaurants and golf courses—camping at Burt Lake can be a complete vacation for even the most discriminating lover of culture and sophistication. The park is home to the “Cross in the Woods,” a famous Catholic shrine featuring a crucifix 31 feet high. Might wanna rethink that trip to Europe, huh?

When to go

The ideal time to visit Burt Lake State Park is during the summer months, from June to August, when the weather is warm and the lake's waters invite for a swim. Spring and fall offer quieter visits with cooler temperatures, while winter presents a snowy wonderland, albeit with limited access and activities.

Know before you go

Check the weather forecast before your visit to ensure a safe and enjoyable experience.
Remember to bring insect repellent and sunscreen to protect against the elements.
Verify the park's opening hours, typically from 8:30am to 5pm, before planning your trip.
Ensure you have a Recreation Passport for park entry; it's required for all visitors.
Trail maps are available for download; consider bringing a physical copy for navigation.
