Very shady site. The Oak campground, where I stayed, was generally quiet day and night. Path to beach could have been better marked. Lots of trails avaiable for hiking, and plenty of room on the beach for people to spread out.

the area was very beautiful I was disappointed that there wasn't a ranger or station in the park area no maps were available if you were new to the area you wouldn't have a clue where to go or how to get there only found things of interest only because we went exploring also there is no enforcement of the rules we had a group that was loud and rude also had a camper that aloud there children to scream and play well into 11:00 pm at night me and my wife go up there for piece and quite not to here kids scream and people party other then that we enjoyed the area the park was beautiful . We are older it would be nice if there was a better way to the beach the extreme climbing in the sand and the inclines are a problem for us at are age all in all very nice . more enforcement of the rules more maps and a ranger station is needed in this park I have camped at DH day for many years and they have rangers maps and signs very informative area this is something needed at this park ! I would return here but it would have to be at one of the isolated sites in the woods, we lost a couple of days trying to find things and learning the area buy the end of the week we were finding things we didn't know was even there or available !

I love the pristine nature of this area! Please remeber to follow all guidelines and if you plan to camp in the free spoil, do so 400 feet from the beach. Let's keep this area looking amazing by following all regulations. :)

Really need some sites with electricity.
The camp ground host has electricity so it shouldn't be too difficult to add to the system.
Other than that it is a beautiful place to camp with most sites spaced a reasonable distance from others.

Campsites were nice and big, lots of trees and easy walk to the beach. We will be booking again next year!

Large camping sites and close to the beach. Close to either Ludington or Manistee if you wanted to shop. Very quiet area and the fire pits are large. Although it is dry camping we felt we were spoiled with the large lot size.

We love camping here each year. The large sites give you plenty of space to spread out and enjoy yourselves. We take advantage of the hiking and biking trails and always see lots of wildlife. The beaches can't be beat! If you enjoy being off the grid and don't mind forgoing a hot shower for a few days, then this is your spot.
