Available Nov 13–15 · 2 nights257 sites open for every nightA forested campground near trout fishing, hiking, and mountain biking. Most campsites have no hookups, and RV fit varies by site.
The setting shifts quickly from hardwood forest to a broad sandy beach on Lake Michigan, with Porter Creek nearby and Hamlin Lake to the south. Water recreation is a primary draw here swimmers and kayakers will find a sandy shoreline and an overlook that makes for easy access to the lake, while anglers come for trout fishing in Lake Michigan's nearshore waters.

















Length limits vary by campsite.

Months with fewer than 30 reservations of that kind are left blank. Sites where nearly every booking was made the day of arrival (pay on arrival) are left out. Closed seasons, windows not yet released for booking, and currently unavailable nights are separate from this history.
Based on Recreation.gov reservations, FY2015–2025 (14,920 reservations in the years scored). Counts reservations made, not nights actually camped: cancellations aren't in the data, and nights a site was closed count as not booked. FY2020–21 (COVID) are left out of the scores.
