Preferred the sparsely populated Pines CG to the more popular lakefront sites. Very quiet, exceptionally clean. Outstanding October weather

We stayed in the Pines section (backing to the woods) for 4 nights around Labor Day and really enjoyed the park and campground. Everything was very clean and relatively quiet for such a busy weekend. The bike and hiking trails are very close as well as the beach. Walking the beach out towards Waygoshance point was very beautiful and secluded. Also enjoyed the sand dunes in southern part of the park. We hope to come back soon and often God-willing.

Crowded. Spots very close together and dogs barking all the time. No one seems to care. Spots along lake are nice and exterior spots are ok but DO NOT go for an interior spot or you will have neighbors 4 feet on each side and a neighbor right behind you as well.

Stayed with our class a motor home in the Pines loop which is the other side of the county road from the beach camping loops. Since we stayed here in October it was probably a good thing to be away from the frigid lake wind. Typical mich state park campground feel with decent sized spaces. Some of the beachfront spaces are very small but you get Lake Michigan in your backyard. Looks like they are doing some improvements. Good hiking trails. Very few sites with full hookups but all rv sites do have electric.

We stayed in the Pines section. We are not the city camping type so it was not our cup of tea at all. Very crowded, loud, dogs unattended and whining and barking 12+ hours per day. Total mayhem. If you really want to stay here I recommend the lakeside loops, very different vibe there .

Stayed in sites E & F in Aug. easy in and out. Site E was nicer, on the lake side vs. road side and a clear line for our satellite to get a signal, in Site F the trees were too heavy. Not a big deal, but worth noting. Sites are small but not problem backing the 36’ Class A in. Got to experience a nice sunset on the beach which was a 2 minute walk from our site. The only down fall, and it’s a big one, is the roads in. As others have stated, they suck. We entered both from the north, Mackinaw City, and the south from Levering, the north route wasn’t as bad, but the roads needs to be fixed as they resulted in this park only getting 4 stars.

We stayed in the pines camp area quite and sheltered great place to hike and visit we will be back

We stayed in the recently refurbished West Lakeshore CG. Nice amenities. Paved loops through campsites, level gravel pads, noted several all cement pad campsites for handicap access all new showers and bath house. Very close to beach ~100ft to Lake Michigan even from back most campsites. Line of campsites closest to beach are the campsites to get if you can grab one. We’ll be back for sure!

Nice wooded shaded sites, near beach area, bugs were tolerable wind kept them at bay, for early June. Bathrooms were older and in need of some updates but clean. Road to get there rough, but were told by staff that they are scheduled for resurface July 2019. Quiet and away from town, but still close enough.

Stayed at the East Lakeshore Campground Site 64 on the lake. Sept 23-28, 2018. The lake view is wonderful and had a path directly from my camper to the beach albeit there is a swing set in my view. I wish they put the swingset somewhere else as to no obstruct the campsite views. The campground section is old and needs some repair. The West is under construction and is being modernized during my stay so the weekday construction noise is annoying. However, the quiet in the evenings is refreshing as the sounds of the waves is quite soothing. It is late in the season and could get quite cool in the evenings but the campfire keeps you toasty and warm. Sites are quite close together and very tight to maneuver if you have a camper over 25 feet- lots of trees to go around as you back into the site. No cover between sites but at least you just see the trailer and not the people as they firepit is on the other side of neighbors trailer or your own trailer blocks the view from the other side neighbor from your fire pit. The showers is in much disrepair and broken shower head in one of the stalls. You have to be pretty acrobatic to try putting on clean clothes without it hitting the floor as there is no place to keep your clothes from getting wet. Floor is crumbling and the toilet facilities smells but tolerable. All in all there is no Wilderness feel of this park at the campground but if you do some hikes along the beach on on the trails, there is quiet solitude of the woods. The Pines campground that is not on the water is quite new and modern but it is a lot more open and little cover. All in all, i still made the best of it and enjoyed myself (i was by myself) and found plenty of things to do like drive, hike, and bike around the area.
