Overview
<p>When you want Lake Michigan to be your playground in the Upper Peninsula Michigan, consider Lake Michigan Campground. Dunes, waves, sand and wind, are the primary environmental factors present here. Campsites are nestled in the sand dunes that can reach heights of 30-feet tall . Over the sand dunes you'll find miles of sand beach. Hike ancient dunes, ride the waves, or soak in spectacular sunsets.

About the campground
The elevation is 460 ft. The campground stretches out along a bluff between U.S. 2 and Lake Michigan. About half the sites are on the lake while the remaining back up to the highway. The primary attractions at this campground are sand, waves, dunes, and spectacular views of Lake Michigan. Favorite past times are watching the many shore birds and the water fowl plus body surfing. Although Lake Michigan is right there, fishing is much better at the nearby Brevoort Lake.
