Our family loves Interlochen State Park. The spots are (for the most part) big and well shaded. We frequent the Park Store a few times for ice cream & souvenirs. They also organize activities for the kids to do, so fun! The beach area is decent, rocky, but manageable. The water is beautiful!! Great family friendly park!!

Nice park. We prefer the north park over the South Park. Sites are shaded with lots of trees. Some of the sites can be a challenge will long trailers. We love the north side away from the water. It is a close walk to Interlochen Center of the Arts. When the wind is right you can hear campers rehearsing trumpets and euphoniums. 2022 - our second trip to Interlochen State Park. We wanted to stay at the north park but it was closed due to construction. This time we go site 345 in the south camping loop. Not a bad site. A lot easier to get into than 197. The bath house is brand new. They made it a tornado shelter. It is huge. If you like wooded bigger sites with no one behind you. I recommend site 331 in the south camp loop. That will be on our list of preferred sites next time.

I had the pleasure of camping in the park and outside of the park at the rustic location. They are pet friendly, and family friendly. Camping inside the park has perks of plumbing(showers and flushing toilets) vs the rustic spots having what I call “permanent porta-pottys” which is fine but as of my most recent stay the rustic camp…people will poo outside of the toilet for wha the very reason ruining it for the rest of us. On another note the spots are clean in the camp ground in the state park. No debris and silliness to be had. Rustic spots offer more riff raff I would imagine. Rustic spots are a bit harder to find in the dark. All in all I would recommend staying in the camp grounds inside the park unless you’re looking for a more “rustic” experience.

A great park on a great lake with a wide variety of site types to meet the needs of all camping preferences. Up front by the water fro.smaller sites with more sun and lake view, in the back for larger sites backed up to woods for more shade and privacy. Great camp store. Great beach. Swimmers itch is real, but just use sunblock and towel off after swimming and you will be fine.

The park does not have water hook up. They do have a dump station before exiting the park. Most come with full tanks and I have seen many campers with "honey pots" with extra water for extended stays.
