Port Crescent State Park Campsite

Mar 9th, 2024

These must be the best public campsites in Michigan. Number 91 is steps from sandy crescent beach. A short path through the dunes and you are on the sand Sign up early as spaces go fast. Others are on a water inlet. Facilities are modern and clean. Group fire pit. Ice and firewood available. Lakeside living for all. Oh, but that beach !

This seems to be one of the few campsites near Port Austin. It is right on the lake which is absolutely beautiful. That was definitely the best part. Bathrooms were clean. Staff was nice. If you have a dog, this site is very dog friendly. But the campsite is very close to the highway, so you hear it throughout the night rather than the sounds of nature. Also, the camp sites are right on top of each other, so you can hear anything your neighbors do. When we went to the bathroom in the morning to shower, the water wouldnt get hot. I think they might turn off hot water during quiet hours, but I am not sure. Theres also no grate for the campfire pit which makes cooking over the fire a little inconvenient.

Mens/womens bathrooms as well as hot showers available here. Stayed at campsite 126, which is one away from a corner spot, nice spot to camp and has a view of the bathrooms. Close enough to walk there, far enough that you don't smell anything. 1-2 minute walk to the beach from this campsite (most campsites are about this far from the beach). There is a power hookup at each campsite as well, and you can park your car at your campsite instead of parking further and walking your things to the site. Good experience and would definitely camp here again. There is a dark sky viewing deck to see the stars nearby, it was closed when we went but would recommend checking that out if possible. Can also see some stars from the beach at night (benches are set up to sit on and enjoy the view). Restrooms: mens and womens restrooms as well as individual hot showers
