Great Campsite
Awesome spot right next to the lake. Wasn't directly on the beach, but instead was back in a little clearing with some trees for shelter from the wind. Quiet, private and a perfect, clear, starry evening with a mostly full moon.

Beautiful Lake Michigan beach camp spot. The workers were great at communicating with me and very informative upon our arrival.

Trails End
Nice set up, loud traffic
Nice secluded spot, however it is literally steps from highway 2, which has more traffic than I was expecting. Semis and trailers, loud and bright, all night. We arrived late and had some trouble finding this trail, but were helped by a friendly voice as I called the number on the sign. We did find the trail, but would’ve appreciated a heads up about the multiple stumps in the trail, perhaps I shouldn’t have been driving this trail in the dark. Level enough ground, ample space for our tent. The bathroom has a shower and flushing toilet. It is not the Ritz, but pretty great when you’re camping. I didn’t see any other campers, enjoyed the seclusion and the convenience of the location. A definite option for splitting up our trip. Thank you!

Mike, the host
Mike was an awesome host. He commented as well. He went above and beyond what you needed to to be a host. I would go back, especially if Mike is still there
