Such a beautiful state park, whether you are looking for a perfect beach, clean campgrounds or just…read morea place to relax during a hike, this park is perfect. The beach has a concession stand with basic snacks, flush toilets, shower house and kayak rental. The campground is your typical Michigan State Park design - just double check your RV length. Would highly recommend stopping here any time of the year. Great place to spend a day at the beach.

When you first enter, they check if you have a recreational passport. If you do, it is free. When…read moreyou drive in there's a turn for the canpground. We went straight to the beach. They had a volleyball tournament. It was still a little cold so we had jackets and pants on the kids. It was their first time at a beach playing in the sand. The water was freezing and my kids wanted to put their feet in. The beach was nice and empty. We have been coming here for years. We love rock picking here.

This rustic state park is one of our favorites. The scenery is gorgeous, with miles of sandy and…read morerocky beachfront, walking trails, 5-mile road for biking and spacious wooded lots and a prized few water front lots. There is firewood and ice at the check-in station which is very convenient. T h e grounds are well maintained and the vault toilet stalls are mostly clean (though can become odiferous when the park is full). It is usually the case that visitors to the rustic parks are more respectful of the quiet. We are bird watchers and always love spying the eagles and variety of other birds in the area. Close to the town of Charlevoix, there are plenty of options for sight seeing, eating and finding supplies. Beautiful area of our state.

If you love collecting Michigan rocks, come to this lovely state park. You can take the short trail…read moredown to the water, where you will find rocks om the sand. The park is secluded, and we only saw about 5 others there during the duration of our stay. It appears that because this location is not so heabily populated, you can find some Charlevoix and Petoskey rocks in the water as wel as on the rock bed. You just have to know what to look for. I suggest finding a walking stick for the water. It helps guide you, and it helps you move some rocks. The next time I come here I definitely want to bring a sifter because I saw so many cute tiny ones with the rock pile. My twchnique was to pull the ones near the water down, and I found quite a bit this way. James used the stick to look in the water, where you will find medium to large rocks. Overall the secluded atmosphere is soothing and relaxing.

We stayed in cottage #14 with our dog. Super clean, adorable tiny house. We discovered the paved path across the highway to walk or ride bikes either direction.

There is a nice clubhouse with a fitness room, billiards room, theater and laundry facility. There is a dog park and pool as well as basketball and pickle ball courts.

We may have to seek out Sun Outdoors campgrounds for wherever we decide to travel!

We ended up bending one of our front stabilizers because of the angles. We saw another camper struggle with the same issue. The other thing was getting to it. You have to drive on dirt roads for quite a distance. They really have no control over the roads, but it is something to consider. The good though was that it was clean, nicely spaced, and quiet.

What an awesome campground!! We rented one of the cabins and had a great time. The heated pool was…read moreperfect for my daughter who was able to spend her free time there. The dogs enjoyed the leash free dog runs that are available. It was a vacation for them. The restroom building was clean and well maintained and just a short walk from the cabin. The playground for the kiddies was very cool and the looked like they were having a blast I ventured off and discovered their walking trail in the woods that was refreshing. Sure beats walking state park campground.

The restrooms are awful, the showers are awful, looks like black mold to me. Some prota-potties on site that are gross. Management is very nice. Owned by the Village of Ellsworth and seems like they do not like to spend money. Rates are going up a lot for 2025 I think. Very hilly in spots. I have seen some people leave as they can't level their unit. One guy lost his down the hill two weeks ago, so be VERY careful setting up. No laundry anywhere near. No Sewer hook up though they do have a dump station up the hill. TV is very SPOTTY too, Smart TVs do not connect all the time, and the antenna channels are tough to get. Sights are very tight. We camped at Wooden Shoe Campground in a Travel Trailer. There is fire pits and you can purchase wood from the managers or locally. 30amp connection that the breaker trips almost daily. Electricity and water are included.

Found out there's no refunds on early departures. If you have a tent, or one of the more level campsites, this place will work for you. Unfortunately, it did not work for us and would never consider camping there again. Only reason I gave it 2 stars was the internet on our crooked un-level site was very good. Never heard a word about free wood when we checked in, before seeing the campsite on the mountain.
