The Nordhouse Dunes


The Nordhouse Dunes have become one of my favorite places to camp in the state of Michigan. Typically I like to visit an area once and move onto someplace new the next time, this way I can see more of our country and it's parks but the Nordhouse Dunes seem to pull me back every year for a nice 3-4 day stay. The beautiful sand dunes, panoramic view of Lake Michigan, and the local wildlife make for a stay that is unlike any other.

A tip for any dog owner: A section of the beach has been made available to pets (which most do not find a lot of in MI). The northern section of the Nordhouse Dunes borders the Michigan Recreation Area, a car-campers delight. The beach north of the Recreation Area is reserved for pets and their owners.
