You have to drive 7 miles down a dirt road, but once you get there you won't be disappointed. This is one of the most rural and beautiful campsites in Upper Michigan, nestled on the shores of Lake Michigan. I camped there on Memorial Day 2022, and of the 23 sites available for use, only 3 were taken up by people camping. The rest (20) were available for use. Many of the sites, including the one I was on, #23, have views of Lake Michigan from your site. And with the waves crashing down on the shores, you don't hear your neighbors or any artificial/manmade noises. For anyone looking to get away, disconnect, and admire the water, I highly recommend this campsite. This is the first time I have been there but it definitely won't be the last.

Arrived on Thursday July 8th, 2021 with plenty of sites to choose from. We choose site 6 short walk over hill to beach, id say site 8 is the best one if available. Long winding road in but worth the drive. Nice sites, beautiful sandy beach, great hiking trails, secluded. Will be back again.

Are biting flies an issue in this area in June? I know the lake superior side has plenty of them!
