D. H. Day Campground

This was the star of our cross country trip. You cannot beat the location of this campsite. It’s walking distance to the beach where dogs are allowed and so are bonfires. We had no problems with bugs or poison ivy. It felt safe and close to incredibly charming towns and wineries. We will be back!

Loved this place. Right on the Sleeping Bear Dunes Trail for easy access with our bikes. Quiet campground. Decent sized sites. Pit toilets that were kind of stinky, but decently clean. We will be back.

Nice big campground, walking distance to the nothernside of Sleeping Bear dunes (not the overlook) Thats another 8 miles south and Inside the national park entrance($$fee)

A great campground for what it is. The sites are close together but there are enough trees that it's not terrible. That said, you will likely see and hear your neighbors. The vault toilets are not my first choice so we brought other arrangements. The short walk to the beach is the real draw, it is beautiful. There is poison ivy everywhere so be careful when walking. Even visiting when the campground was full is a great experience and you're only a couple miles from the dune climb. Looking forward to coming back.

We camped in a tent just a few minutes walk from the beach. We were so close we could hear the waves at night in our tent. The sunset over the lake was beautiful and the beach wasn't too crowded. In the morning we were one of only a few families exploring the beach. Our kids enjoyed searching for Petoskey stones in the pebbles and we had a wonderful lazy morning there. We didn't get to go explore the night sky because our kids fell asleep early and our campsite was heavily wooded but the pockets of sky that we could see were spectacular! We only stayed one night this time but we will definitely be back for a longer stay.

We camped here for two nights with our dog and were very happy with it! It was a nice quiet campground. Our site was pretty large and fairly quiet. There aren’t any showers and the bathrooms are outhouses (which we knew when we booked), but the outhouses were pretty clean.

This campground is like being out in the middle of nowhere but still having access to water and a bathroom. Highly recommend this campground. Staff is friendly, hikes are great, beach front is gorgeous, bathrooms are clean.
