Nice!
Park is on a huge bluff with many stairs to the beach. Town is only a few minutes away to use that beach. Excellent view and sunset. Poor hiking. Nice grassy sites. Very nice park. I have been there several times.

Beautiful! Lots of trees and shade.
On Lake Michigan. Steep bluff fenced in overlooks beach. Lots of stairs to beach, so it can get tiring walking to beach. Kind of hilly campground in places.Clean, well kept up facilities and grounds. Definitely worth visiting!

Great park with very good staff
Clean, well maintained facilities. Fantastic sunsets on the water. Well maintained stairs and beach area. Minor complaints: Camp sites are a little close together and shared electrical connections may require ext. cable.

| Area Attractions: |
| Be sure to ride the trolley on a historic tour of Manistee; there is no better way to become acquainted with the city and to learn a little about its unique history. Manistee was a lumbering town and has preserved the Victorian atmosphere with its Victorian Village shopping district and lumbermen's homes. The harbor has two piers where fishing is good all year long. Two excellent beaches flank the harbor, along with playgrounds, picnic facilities, public restrooms and concessions. Fishing in Lake Michigan and Manistee Lake is terrific year round. During August and September, fishing reaches a feverish pitch as coho and chinook salmon come in for their spawning run. Later in the year, steelhead make their fall run. Charter boats, dock rental and good launching facilities all are available. |
