Lake Hudson Recreation Area is located in southern Michigan near the Ohio border. The park is home to a Designated Dark Sky Preserve and offers a rustic campground, a no-wake lake, a large swimming area, a boat launch, trails and a picnic shelter. In addition, there are opportunities for hunting and fishing (known for muskie), geocaching, metal detecting and more. The park features numerous grassy fields and wood lots.
Lake Hudson is located in an area of open farmland, near the Ohio border. The nearest shopping is located in Hudson, approximately 7 miles west of the park. Users will find a laundry-mat, grocery store, as well as a bowling alley and movie theatre. Eating choices vary from fast food to family dining, as well as a place to get ice cream!
Located on M-34 east from Hudson 7 miles. 1 mile south on M-156. 40 miles south of Jackson; 15 miles southwest of Adrian.
Great place awesome fishing, great kayak. And you can either take an RV or a Tent. And all the employees are polite knowledgeable about the area a lot of good stuff to do while you're there. A great place to take the family.
This is a great park for stargazing. It's a quite rustic site great for a getaway.
Nice place. Bit disappointed at the fact the map shows site 36 entrance facing north, when in fact it faces west. High difference where the sun is concerned. Enjoyed the camping night sounds. Patrons were pleasant during my stay. Kids would need to bring their own entertainment as I looked around (pavilion, boat launch, beach area, and 1-50 campsites) and saw nothing more than a volleyball net and vault toilets. Beach area is large enough to host a large family reunion, but bring extra tables and chairs for that. Trees are still growing so bring something to shade yourself in the beach area. Leashed dogs are welcomed. Dogs cannot swim in designated patron area. Beach is not so close to campsites, so be prepared to walk a bit, or you will drive approximately a mile to beach area. Only one water pump in camp area. Website has detailed map. No wake lake which is perfect for fisherfolk. If you like explore and do plant recognition this park is great. Hope it helps. Enjoy.
So happy to have found such a gem of park so close to home! The campgrounds are absolutely beautiful with wooded areas in-between most sites and some back up to the lake. The dark sky park is absolutely stunning!!! Hiking Trail is well maintained but not exactly clearly maked. Camped for the weekend and enjoyed the start of fall colors. Will most certainly be back soon! 5/5 would recommend. Only potential negative might be if you're tent camping the bathroom is far.
