More Information

While the majority of the park remains closed for enhancements through July 1, 2025, visitors can still enjoy 2,000 acres of parkland and a beautiful 3-mile stretch of Lake Michigan shoreline south of the Big Sable River. Hiking trails and a boardwalk along the south side of the Big Sable River will remain accessible with roadside parking along M-116 and at Skyline Trail parking lot. A proposed $4.26 million in federal relief funding from Gov. Whitmer's Building Michigan Together Plan made these and other renovations possible.

Keep an eye on park's Facebook page at Facebook.com/LudingtonStatePark for the latest closure updates. Even if you don't have an account, you can still view this public page.

This modern campground is divided into three loops, including the back (or north), middle and front (or south) loops. Most sites are generous in size and are shaded by big trees. The campground is on the park’s east side and is located near Hamlin Lake. There is 20/30 amp service available at each site, and some sites in the front (or south) loop offer 50-amp service. There is a sanitation station nearby. Recycling is available at the Cedar Campground.

Each loop connects to a park trail, including the very popular Lost Lake-Island Trail loop.
