This is a bit more off the grid for folks...had a T-mobile/Att sig at 1 bar for a minute every hour?... BUT , Superb site and ... campground host on Orchid Loop, was a major highlight!, this is some of the best of Michigan! with Masters like buck, and beach access was a true major bonus!

Had a T-mobile/Att sig at 1 bar for about minute every hour, other than that nothing..get away from your phone for a bit.. BUT , Superb site and campground host on Orchid Loop (Buck) was the definition of Michigan friendliness, a major highlight!..and honestly a reason for us to return one day. This is some of the best of Michigan with beach access like this was a true major bonus! please support these parks.

Campground staff were excellent! Pretty quiet during quiet hours. Only complaint would noise during the day from people with generators.

I camped for a couple of nights at the beginning of the week near the offseason (10/5-10/7), and loved it! The sites are well-spaced with plenty of tree coverage. I had a spot in the Orchid loop, near one of the restrooms. I was glad to see I mostly had the women's side to myself although the first day, there was a pretty heavy tick problem in the handicap stall, and the Covid cleaning sheet's last entry was late July. It was thankfully cooler temps, and with bug spray and sanitizer, I didn't have a problem. I guess my only suggestion is, late in the season someone should check the fire rings from people dumping sand into them. It took quite a lot of work to dig out about a foot from mine so I could actually make a fire to cook.

I camp here often and have always had an enjoyable experience. The camp sites are always clean and tidy and very spacious. I hope with the erosion problem along Lake Michigan it does not impact this area to badly.
