Summary
It offers established campsites with pit toilets, fire rings, and picnic tables, but no drinking water, electric hookups, or RV accommodations. Dispersed camping is also allowed in the surrounding wilderness. No reservations or permits are required, though a small recreation fee applies. The forested, dune-lake setting offers a peaceful, back-to-nature vibe with access to hiking trails like the Nordhouse Dunes Loop and Lake Michigan beaches. Best visited May–October for mild weather and trail access, this area is ideal for hikers and solitude-seekers.

Camping Essential Practices
Take all trash, food scraps, and gear back with you to keep campsites clean and protect wildlife.
Respect Wildlife
Observe animals from a distance, store food securely, and never feed wildlife to maintain natural behavior and safety.
Know Before You Go
Check weather, fire restrictions, trail conditions, and permit requirements to ensure a safe and well-planned trip.
Minimize Campfire Impact
Use established fire rings, keep fires small, fully extinguish them, or opt for a camp stove when fires are restricted.
Leave What You Find
Preserve natural and cultural features by avoiding removal of plants, rocks, artifacts, or other elements of the environment.
