Sleeping Bear Dunes/D H Day

Sleeping Bear Dunes National Lakeshore is a United States National Lakeshore located along the northwest coast of the Lower Peninsula of Michigan in Leelanau and Benzie counties near the village of Empire. The park covers a 35-mile (56 km) stretch of Lake Michigan's eastern coastline, as well as North and South Manitou islands. This northern Michigan park was established primarily for its outstanding natural features, including forests, beaches, dune formations, and ancient glacial phenomena. The Lakeshore also contains many cultural features including an 1871 lighthouse, three former Life-Saving Service/Coast Guard Stations and an extensive rural historic farm district. The park has several features including hiking trails, a scenic drive, and views of the lake. The D.H. Day Campground is located in Glen Arbor, Michigan and offers a variety of camping options.

Beautiful, rustic campground. Historic log cabin and Lake MI beach is within walking distance. They need to convert the D.H. Day restrooms over near the store, or the ones at the Life Saving Station, to have a few pay showers but otherwise all else great. Nearby Glen Arbor and Sleeping Bear Dunes.

This is a rustic campground. You have to walk maybe 1/2 mile to the beach. More or less. This campground went in before the campgrounds today that are back to back. Some sites all RV's, some only tents. Everyone is so kind. Such a pleasure to be in such a beautiful spot. Also, very busy in June, July and August. Spring and fall are better times.

The campground was clean relatively quiet. The beach was nice and the water was better. Spent 3 days in and on the bay. Beautiful bike paths.

Probably the most beautiful campground I have stayed at, lots of shade, privacy, quiet. Very easy access to the beach and the paved Heritage Trail.
