Would recommend in Fall when the weather isn't so muggy.

Very clean water, Dunes of various characteristics (steep one during Scenic Drive, hike-long one at the Dune Climb, short loops in the trail area), and good campsites are very attractive at Sleeping Bear National Dunes. So refreshing.

DH Day at Sleeping Bear is one of my favorites. An easy drive from Grand Rapids, it blends a near-wilderness experience with easily accessible activities for young and old, and a gorgeous shoreline and dune system. The relatively recent addition of the Heritage Trail is wonderful for bikers and walkers alike, although the steep hills between the campground and Empire are not for the feint of heart. Great challenge, but not for everyone. The trail to Pyramid Point is short, but pleasantly challenging, although it lacks any signage off the main road (M22) - a little odd given the amount of trail traffic.

Its a short hop to Northport, Suttons Bay, Traverse City, and to a number of wineries if that's an interest. Leland, 19 miles north, offers trips to the Manitou Islands, one a day trip and the north island a backpacker's delight.

Despite being short handed, the park service did an admirable job of taking care of the campers, using volunteers and camp hosts. The sites were clean, (including the abundant toilets), are reasonably well spaced, and had pretty good flora blocking sight lines for privacy (helped, at shoe and sometimes knee level, by very healthy poison ivy - be sure to warn traveling companions to be wary, etc.)

Site 61 is the rock star winner, here, as its sits up and off the road and allows easy access to the only east-west beach on Lake Michigan which, of course, allows you to have coffee with the sunrise to your right, and your favorite adult beverage with the sunset to your left. A great stay, as always...
