Port Crescent State Park
Port Crescent State Park is a beautiful Michigan campground located near the tip of the thumb.
Campground
The sites in this campground are fairly close to the beach. Some of the sites are even right on the beach! There is a camper cabin, a larger than normal cabin, located in this state park if you would like to use it. There is also a nice, sandy playground located in the campground. Another amenity of this campground is the trails which can be walked. There is even cross-country skiing on one of the trails! Bathrooms and showers are of course included.
Lake
This park is located on Huron Lake. The beach at this point is very sandy. The water, however, except for a few isolated spots is extremely rocky. There is also a board-walk along the campground beach and benches on this if you wish to sit down. Another benefit is the volley-ball net at the beach.
