This is a unique state park. The campground is connected to the day-use area by a tunnel that goes under the road. The camping area is huge, and one side of it goes along a canal, so if you have one of those sites, you can dock your boat right next to your camping site. They have beach volleyball, a basketball court, a few horseshoe pits, and a playground along with a small beach area on the camping side.

This park is excellent! We love kayaking on the lake and spending time biking. The park is quiet and full of trees. A true Michigan experience!

I love how easy-going it is even when it was full you are packed in there I loved the water it was easy access to get our boat in everyone was quick and efficient with getting their boats in and out its a great place for if you have kids or if you dont have kids honestly its one of the best places to stay in Michigan at a state park in my eyes. Planning for quite a few more trips up next year hoping that the weather is better!

Busy state park but well run. Great location straddling two pretty inland lakes with good fishing and swimming. Bathrooms were clean and the campground sites pretty standard size. Walking distance from camping to Burger King, McDonalds, and an ice cream shop.

Not my favorite. We are tent campers... this was about 95% campers/trailers/RVs. We had a small, dusty, rocky site with little shade. I will say everyone is friendly; biking, hiking, and fishing was fun; and there is a good beach in walking distance. We also enjoyed the canal and boat watching. Bathrooms were clean. Nice campground but not for us.

This campground has always been nice to come and visit. Lots of close by businesses, a few coffee shops, ice cream shops and of course FF places all you can walk to. You can fish from behind your camping spot if your lot is on the canal.

Lots of sand to spread out on and not be overly crowded. Enjoying the sound of the waves and the sea gulls. Even on a windy day its still nice to say that youve gone to the beach.

Bicycle trail accessible at the park. Everything else you could possibly need within walking distance.

Very clean. Even the pit toilets at the boat launch were super clean. Great place to people watch...not so great for seclusionVery busy road.

Beautifully located between two lakes. You can watch the sun rise over lake Cadillac and watch it set over lake Mitchell.

Great place to pull off for a quick picnic. The boat launch is very easy to get to as well. Theres a pavilion for rental. Watch out for the seagulls!

Shaded picnic area with grills and tables and public restroom steps from the beach and parking. Small playground also. Beautiful view of lake Mitchell. You do need a Michigan State Park pass for entry.

Awesome campground in a great spot! It is a state park so bathrooms and things like that arent 100% but for what you pay a night here its just fine. There are bathrooms close to every site, less than a 5 minute walk anywhere in park. There is a ton of fishing action with a boat launch in the park and a canal to the side that lets you go between Lake Mitchell and Lake Cadillac. There is a very nice playground for the little ones and a dock that goes out in the lake to take a walk on, you can access a beach across the street as well. Overall a great campground!

Great place to camp! Beautiful lake, very friendly and helpful state park employees!

Such a great atmosphere, good size sites, close to water, bathrooms/showers were nice and clean... Definitely neill be back again!

Amazing spot for a family outing, great grilling spots with a large gazebo for larger parties. Also beautiful area to swim and fishing locations as well.

Nice campground and fishing/boating experience.Good people at the park and running the park.The only downside is the 115 corridor that runs past the park. Youd swear your sitting next to a major highway, based on the noise and, and the need for every other driver (or motorcyclist) to prove prove they here the faster/louder vehicle. Unlike others parks and towns, local police and/or the county sheriff have been no where to be found, so the road remains the free for all that I just described... at least on this side of town.Thankfully, people have been behaving and respectful to one another everywhere weve been (excluding road crossings and the like).

Small and cozy but I could see it getting overwhelming pretty fast with a lot of people. Perfect spot to stop and dip your feet then go have some coffee or lunch.

A bit chilly but we are enjoying the . We have a heater in the camper so we will be all snug and warm.

Great place to take the family. Lake Mitchell is so beautiful

Whats not to love. Beautiful State park that offers camp sites, docks, public access for your boat. Small beach area, plenty of places to fish. M115 runs right through the middle of the park. Clam lake canal connects Lake Mitchell and Lake Cadillac, theres a side walk that runs alongside the canal. Awesome spot to watch a sunset or just sit and smell the fresh air.

Great place to camp very friendly n helpful staff lots of open walking areas

Great park, roads are a little narrow, kinda hard to back in with a big rig

Very nice campground. Water access on both sides of the road.

Cool little campground. I liked the location. Water is a big plus

Serenity and peaceful great way to spend time

Very nice state park! Parks on both sides of M-115, the side by the canal for camping, the side on Lake Mitchell for day use. Both parks are very nice. Lake Mitchell side has a nice swimming area, picnic areas, and a small playground. Very fun for a day use park!

Clean, quaint, great fishing and kids

Decent campsites and very cool canal connecting the two lakes!

Great park and beach just very windy

Very beautiful park. One of the nicest anywhere in North America. Worth a stop if you want to fish and relax all day.

Great state park and clean facilities.

Always clean, play area for kids, and the water is nice.

Great clean park and nice attendants

Michigan has so many wonderful State parks and this one is conveniently located on both Lake Cadillac and Mitchell Lake. The only down side to the park is the fact that State Highway M-115 runs through it but it offers plenty of opportunities for camping, swimming, fishing, boating and picnicking. It is also a good base from which to explore the many recreational opportunities of that part of the state, as Sleeping Bear Dunes and Traverse City are each approximately an hour away.

We have been coming here for 10 years for our family reunion and we love it here. The campsite is clean and well maintained. The bathroom facilities as well. Plus there are two nice lakes for swimming, fishing or kayaking. Well be coming here for many years to come.

Just wish they had full hook up with water

We walk through here every year on memorial day weekend to check out camper setups and fires. Always very clean and lively. We stay at the cabin across the street at Pilgrims Village. This area in general is a great place to be. Walravens is conveniently RIGHT there with a butcher shop in it.Edit: They added a few new playground pieces which the kids seem to be enjoying.

Great place to go for fishing

Good to picnic with people!

First time there it is beautiful

Great campground for a state run facility. bathrooms and showers have been clean, quiet at night. Fishing on lake hasnt been very good but the heat this week is insane. Reasonable rates which is why this place is usually pretty full.

Nice view...

I love my city

So beautiful

Beautiful, JUST PURE MICHIGAN BEAUTIFUL!!

Nice place to visit

My favorite Michigan state park. Clean and the proximity to water is fabulous. Kayak launch and sunrise and sunset!

We love camping here. The beauty of both lakes. It is fun to see all the families have been coming for so many years. That says a lot about the park. We to have come many years.

Relaxing! Beautiful

Great family camp!

There was a beautiful view of both lakes. It was clean and the showers had plenty of hot water. A little traffic noise but we were close to the highway. Didnt keep us from sleeping. I would stay there again.

Beautiful Michigan State Park campground sandwiched between Lakes Cadillac and Mitchell. Walking distance to some amenities. Less than a 5 minute drive to quaint downtown Cadillac. My entire family enjoyed the stay!

Beautiful park but the water gets nasty with all the boats.

AWESOME day for kayaking

Very fun following the lanterns through the woods at night

Nice place to stretch after long ride.

Only been there when snow was en the ground. Gorgeous, clean, easy access for boating, camping, chilling, good times and best sunsets, moonfall. Will go back in winter, Speing6, summer and Fall. Cutest cabins on the water squeeee

Wonderful place to relax, bring the kids, nice playground, will recommend this park to everyone, nice beach. lots to do close by.

Excellent campground. Active nature center. Near town surrounded by beautiful lake, good swimming beach for kids.

Our favorite state park!!! Love being situated between 2 lakes. Great campground for kids.

A very beautiful place to backpack. Has very nice pine smell in the air! Just wonderful

Typical park. Went to see what parks were doing for anniversary. Some parks had special things going. Not this one. Relatively new playground

Nice beach

Clean beach and water

Great location between Lakes Mitchell and Cadillac. Nice beach within walking distance. Canal between lakes provides docking area for boats.

Great camping. Swimming, picnicking.Boat launch available. Restaurants, shopping nearby. Beautiful area.

Great park for the family. The park is well maintained. 2 lakes to hang out at. The DNR hunting station across the street has daily activities for kids. Also make sure to get a pasty while you are there from mr. Foisies they are the best.

If u fish great camp ground, and staff has always been nice .

This was our first time camping here at the park. My husband and I will definitely be returning!

Great beach and swim area. Pavilion with lots of picnic tables, swings, sand volleyball, kids jungle gym and more. Boat launch ready.

Clean bath house - super quiet campground at night - all kinds of things to do

Campground is clean and my family enjoys walking the channel. The DNR education center across the park is excellent with its taxidermy and live cam of bald eagles

Its a nice beach people were really friendly there and the water was pretty warm for a lake but the beach was a little small and there were a lot of people there

Well policed and bathrooms are clean. Dont try to ride your bike, ppl dont like to move out of the roads. You will get ticketed if you stay 5 min past 10 if you are a guest of a camper.

Very nice spot on lake Mitchell. Campground well kept and sites spaced well apart.

Tight packed together. DNR DNR DNR every where. Was talked to 3 times about stupid stuff. Showers were better then most. Will not be going back. Close to main road. Camping in the city basically.... staff was helpful and friendly.

Great camping spots tucked between two lakes. Bike path goes right into town.

Beautiful sites

Great location between two lakes and access to amenities like restaurants and market and butcher shop. Only negative, is the spots are a bit tight.

Nice lake view and ample outdoor seating and picnic tables!

Great family campground with beautiful lake front..
