Natural Features and SceneryImagine waking up to sunrise over Lake Huron's sparkling waters, where more than a mile of rocky shoreline invites you to hunt for unique stones and wade into remarkably clear water. The north loop places you steps from the lake, where you can fall asleep to gentle waves, while sites feature open, grassy spaces dotted with shade trees. The south loop offers a different experience with level, paved sites perfect for larger RVs, set slightly inland but still close enough to hear the lake calling. Whether you're a beach lover or prefer the convenience of paved camping, the park's varied terrain offers something for every camping style.
