Beautiful forest, beautiful dunes, beautiful camping ground and beautiful beach! If you are thinking about it... go! You won't want to leave! We did 3 nights of camping (5 days) and cried all the way home because we wanted to extend our stay. It was our first time ever camping and we chose to do it here. Btw the couple managing the camp ground at oak loop are incredible humans and so welcoming! We came all the way from redford Michigan. It was a long 4 1/2 hour drive but soooo worth it. We will be back!

had a great time here. was great place to camp. very peaceful. was wonderful exploring the very mature forest. seemed to have plenty of camping area to spread out. was a great example of the many wonderful forests of MI. not sure if was the time of the year but i didn't see anybody for days aside my friend. so that was pretty cool having been to a lot of busy campgrounds. look forward to coming back. cheers!

Love this special place, was my home for over 13 years, and the small community that surrounds this area are wonderful people... My family and I came up for a weekend because my mother passed away, and one of my grandsons was graduating from high school... Plus, the cemetery where my husband is buried is right behind the Shelly Lake campgrounds πŸ’–πŸ’–πŸ’– this forest and my home

One of the most beautiful places in the United States. All four seasons, peace and quiet, a variety of terrain, and some incredible views.

Just remember that you're sharing this space with something primal- something that has inhabited these woods for centuries and will be there well after we're gone. You might hear it at night, you might see it in the distance. It might come scratching at your door. Just rember you're in its home, you are a guest. Be respectful and the most you'll get...
