This is my favorite campground ever. I have been visiting this campground for over ten years. The facilities are nice and clean, the location is perfect (15 min. walk through forest and dunes to get to pristine beach from the Walk-in Loop area), the sites are well maintained and the park staff is AWESOME! To secure a site, you must do so through this website (Recreation.gov) six (6) months in advance of your camping trip (I make mine usually in February counting six months before the week I am able to take vacation). Securing a reservation is not easy - one must do so first thing in the morning as soon as they make the site reservation availables. It helps to know your camping dates and the Loop you would like to camp in advance.There are plenty of activities in the area of Sleeping Bear Dunes, including hiking and biking, kayaking, restaurants, ice cream places, convenient stores and supermarkets around Empire and Glen Arbor towns (I usually go north). My family vacations in the area are always memorable. Definitively a hidden gem in northern west Michigan.

Wonderful campground that is very close to great outdoor activities like Sleeping Bear Dunes, tubing, canoeing, hiking and relaxing on the beach.
