Bay City State Park Campground

Beautiful park. Bathrooms and showers are very clean. Nice hot water. The campground was packed for the early season but very quiet. The only downside is the odor at the beach. Beautiful day use area and beach, but there is an odor. No odor on the campground.

Campsite 30 – Bay City State Park Campsite 30 is a spacious and mostly level site with a soft, sandy base, making setup easy and comfortable. It's conveniently located right across from the bathrooms, which is a big plus for accessibility. While the site is open early in the season, it appears that it will offer pleasant shade once the trees are in full leaf. There are a couple of tree roots protruding from the ground, so it's wise to watch your step, especially at night. One of the significant advantages is that the site doesn't seem to retain water after rain, helping to keep things clean and dry. It's worth noting that there's a pond or water-retaining area directly behind the site. While it's unclear whether this area dries up during the summer months, standing water can potentially lead to increased mosquito activity. Bringing along insect repellent would be a prudent precaution. Overall, Campsite 30 offers ample space, convenient amenities, and the promise of shade in the warmer months. It's a solid choice for campers seeking comfort and accessibility. Thanks for reading my review!

Was a bit hesitant to stay based on not being able to really tell much about the area online, and I’m so glad I did. It was dark I arrived but it was easy to check in and I could tell right away it was a good campground. Very reasonable site size and spacing, and they were all in great shape. The bathrooms and showers were also extremely nice. Woke up in the morning and was blown away by how pretty everything was, especially with the fall colors and leaves on the ground. Slept in my car (camper setup) and felt extremely cafe and comfortable. Would love to stay again, both for the campground quality and priority to the lake.

After visiting 19 of our states, I have to personally rate this Michigan campgrounds number 1. Extremely large camping spots, very level and shady. Rest room and bathhouse fit for a king, Modern , clean and as a 6 ft 1 inch male I appreciate their tall shower head. My spot was about center of the oval shaped campground and their are bathhouses at each end, a eazy walk The only drawback is it offers electric only. Drinkable water is available to fill your tanks at the dumping station at the entrance to the park.

The bathrooms were clean and well stocked. It was a good mix of tents and campers. I had to park in the over flow area, the employees were pretty clear only 2 cars per site.
