What a breathtaking place! I will most definitely return in the warmer weather. There is a park for the children nearby and plenty of parking throughout the area. No matter what time of year this is a must see if you're in the are!
Love this state park, so cool being able to camp right on the beach and the water! The spots are very tight though so keep that in mind, it took me a couple tries to get in the spot and I usually never have a problem with backing up my camper. I could barely fit my camper and truck in my spot, but once you get over how tight it is, it is a beautiful place. I will say be careful getting a site next to the bathrooms by the river, they do not turn off the outside lights and they are super bright at night, no problem for us in a camper we could just close the blinds but a tent would be rough.
Needed a roadtrip and some time to decompress from the evils of the world. Decided to head up to Grand Haven and take a nice long walk at their State Park. Ended up witnessing amazing views, friendly people and an amazing new to me tan. “I’ll be back” 😎
The sites were spectacular and their accommodations were great. Lake Michigan was wonderful and the lighthouse was so special. The paths that they laid down on the sand made it easy to get near the water without sinking in the sand. I have never seen the material that was used, but even more "mature" people could walk easily on the paths.
This is a great place to enjoy a massive beach that is deserted in the off-season days during the school year. Parking is available on the north side by the pier at the Fisherman's parking lot against the channel, and also on the south end at the Grand Haven City Beech parking lot (expect it to be full during sunset viewing times). Be aware of the rules for the near shore waters when red-flag wave conditions exist. God bless and enjoy the great creation the Lord has given us.
