This is so beautiful! The campsites are right near the the beach!

This location is seemingly the less popular place to go looking for Petoskey stones, but that’s why it’s worth going just a bit farther out of the way to visit. Here you’ll find it’s less picked over. What a beautiful site, though.

Questions & Answers

I'm planning a camping trip there. Does the check-in building sell ice, or do I have to venture into town to get a bag of ice?

I don't believe they do, but the Krist gas station isn't far at all.

Hi there, we are looking to book in June. We have a 33' RV. Looking for suggestions on best "water front" sites plz and ty?

J Rose | Oct 12, 2018

If the pull through sites on the lake are available, they're gorgeous. My husband wasn't a fan of the noise from the waves, it was really active while we were there, but I would book again. We had 32. If you do get a pull through in the lake, bring all leveling gear you have.

No showers. Very few amenities.... But the water, sand, view, clean air, quiet, Petoskey stone hunting, etc far make up for it

Are their rattle snacks there

Harry Scott | Oct 12, 2017
Shawn Pertunen | Oct 12, 2017

The Massasauga or "swamp" rattler is very shy. They tend to flee when humans are in the area. They will bite if threatened or stepped on. I have only seen two in Michigan and both were in swampy environments. I hike, fish, camp, canoe and have been all over the state for many years.
