The park is located M-25, approximately 8 miles North of Port Huron. Take I-94 east to exit 274 and drive 8 miles north to the park. The campground is on the right. The day use area is on the left. 8 miles north of Port Huron. 12 miles south of Lexington. 75 miles northeast of Detroit.
We love this campground. The beach is beautiful and covered in rocks. Our kids spent so much time here. The playground was nice but very busy.
Nice park on Lake Huron. The beach is mostly rocks but there are a few Sandy areas. It’s clean. Campground is pretty strict with visitors and doesn’t seem to allow any flexibility for walk-ins even when there are no shows.
Came here to Rock Hunt on the beach and was not disappointed! We lucked out on the campsite we got as it backed up to trees and was very spacious. Not all of them are like that and appear to be on top of each other. There are two bath houses that are well maintained and regularly cleaned.
But... The campfire pits are poorly placed on most of the sites and are right on the lot lines. The quiet hours start at 10pm - the nights we were there the rule was not followed and there was no staff around to enforce it. Listening to loud, drunken parties from people several sites away until well after midnight was not a peaceful experience. There are signs that dogs must be leashed at all times and aren't allowed at the beach - that rule was also broken all the time and there were dogs all over the beach.
May give it another try during the week sometime and see if the experience is more peaceful than a weekend at the end of September.
This is a really nice State Park! We live nearby but still love to camp here. The south campground sites are all pretty big. They have asphalt pads which we like. The staff is very friendly and the Park is well maintained. Oh yeah, there's also the amazing beach on Lake Huron and some nice trails to hike as well!
