Wilderness State Park

October 21, 2005 by Tim Enright.

This park is located at the tip of Michigan’s Lower Peninsula.  It is on the Lake Michigan shoreline, just west of the Mackinac Bridge. Wilderness State Park is often confused with Porcupine Mountains Wilderness State Park located in the Upper Peninsula.

The park is divided into both modern and rustic sections. The rustic section is located on the shore of Lake Michigan. These sites are on the small side and tend to be somewhat unlevel, but the view compensates for this. I would recommend the sites located directly on the beach if your unit will fit.

The modern section is not located directly on the water. The sites in this section are larger and more level than the rustic section. Some of these sites also have concrete pads.

We stayed here in the fall in a beach front site. We enjoyed it very much. I would imagine that it would be pretty crowded in the summer months.
