Description
With its sweeping panoramic reach and immaculate horizon line, you might be tempted to forget Lake Michigan is just a lake. A stay at well-maintained, thoroughly-accommodating Lake Michigan Recreation Area is your ticket to summer fun on the beach and surrounding trails (including Nordhouse Dunes Wilderness Area). With a close-knit site setup in one of the most beautiful areas in the state, you can enjoy swimming, fishing, picnicking or visitor programs with your fellow campers. Sure, Lake Michigan may just be a lake, but it’s still pretty Great!

We stayed at the free campsites just east of the recreation area in the national forest. There is a long dirt road called Green Road in the national forest with signs that say to not park on the west side of the road. Lots of great open campsites with fire rings. No amenities in the national forest.

If you search well enough or in advance you can find some secluded spots to post up up for some amazing summer weekends.

One of the best kept secrets in Michigan, this campground has beautiful, large sites covered with trees, and within walking distance of Lake Michigan.
