During warmer months and after rain, you'll want to pack insect repellent for mosquitoes and be prepared for muddy trail conditions—consider it part of the authentic wilderness experience. The bugs and mud are temporary visitors, but the memories you'll make exploring these woods will last forever.

Planning Tips

About Cheboygan Group Camp

Nestled in the wooded embrace of Cheboygan State Park, this rustic group camp offers organized groups their own slice of Lake Huron paradise on Duncan Bay. With miles of trails winding through the forest and a beautiful sandy beach just a short drive away, it's the perfect basecamp for groups seeking both adventure and tranquility.

Designated as a rustic group camp area within Cheboygan State Park; the park overall contains both modern and rustic loops, but group-camp specifics point to basic, vault-toilet facilities.

Natural Features and SceneryYour group will wake up to the gentle sounds of Lake Huron lapping against Duncan Bay's marshy shoreline, surrounded by a cathedral of towering pines and hardwoods. The relatively flat, heavily forested terrain makes for easy exploration, with trails threading through the woods and leading down to the water's edge. While the immediate shoreline is marshy and wild—perfect for spotting wildlife—the park's pristine sandy beach awaits nearby for swimming and sunbathing.
