Groups who want a quiet, canopy-covered base and a real beach: the Lake Huron shoreline here has clear water, sand, and sunrise views worth waking up for. The paved bike path to Rogers City and 40 Mile Point Lighthouse is a bonus most campers don't expect.
Aging vault toilets and dated showers are the baseline here, no electric hookups anywhere, and cell service is essentially gone once you're in the trees. Dog owners should know pets aren't allowed on the main beach.
Official information for Hoeft Group Campground from the Michigan Department of Natural Resources.
Due to park enhancements to update water distribution, toilet and shower buildings, the sanitation station, the sewage system and contact station, the park will close Sept. 4, 2024 through June 15, 2025. em>A proposed $5.4 million in federal relief funding from Gov. Whitmer's Building Michigan Together Plan made these and other renovations possible.

Summer delivers the best conditions, with daytime highs in the 70s–80s°F and evenings cooling into the 50s–60s. The forest stays comfortable even at midday, but pack layers. Lake nights drop fast once the sun sets. Mid-July through August sees the busiest beach traffic, though the group campground's wooded location stays quieter than the main loops. Mosquitoes are part of the deal in this lush habitat, so bring spray. Spring and fall trade warm swimming for solitude and good birding along the trails.
“Summer delivers the best conditions”; swimming and beach use peak in summer.
