They sure could use some bushes between the sites. And the fire ring was in a weird place. Those are my only complaints. The beach is beautiful and clean. The campground is well maintained. The facilities are awesome. The prices are great. Lots of places for the kids to play. Plenty of walking trails. So many people fishing every day. We will be back!
The campground is adjacent to the beach and playground, which is a big 👍🏼 for us. The trees are all on the small/young side, but for me that's no big deal. This campground is right on the shores of lake Erie, so at least while we were there, it provided a decent breeze. The campsite are fairly spacious. We had a full hook up site, so I can't say anything about the public bathrooms as we did not use them. There are several vending machines here and a couple of food trailers. I do wish, however, that there was a store within walking distance (similar to Aloha State Park). We went to five Michigan state parks in 2023. William C. Sterling State Park Campground was my favorite and we will be back 2024.
Beautiful spot to watch the sun rise. Plus, they accept pets. Many stores within a 10 min ride for all those last-minute items that were forgotten. The water can be a little rough, so mind the littles. Our family will be making another visit.
The camp site was very clean and fortunately our spot was just near the beach. It was fun to spend time on not so crowded beach. We also took a little risk by walking till the edge that is created with stones. Make sure you wear shoes while walking to the edge. It's a beautiful spot for photographers. You can rent a kayak here for $20 for 4 hours. Make sure you take your bugs spray or remain aware as we found a tick.
Beautiful place, peaceful, super quiet no even music playing, relaxing and nice crowd it
This is a full service campground. It worked well for a base camp while fishing the Detroit River for 3 days. It has a lot of nice nature trails, but the campground is quite lame and has barely any trees. However, the sites on Lake Erie are nice. We also caught a lot of fish in the backwaters around the campground. They do not sell firewood on site, and there are not many places that sell it nearby. As far as State Parks go, this one just doesn't feel very "naturey" being so close to the city with visible smoke stacks.
