Michigan campers. Anyone have info on what Hoffmaster campground is like?

[faith]

Wondering if anyone from Mi or other states has stayed there? Is it a nice campground? Or any other nice ones that you have camped?
I can vouch for Mitchell State park or Burt Lake State park if anyone would like to try those. Thanks for any help.

I haven't been to Hoffmaster in many years, thats in Muskegon right? You might want to head north a bit and camp in Ludington. Lived there for many years up until about 9 months ago when we moved to Florida. It's a nice little town, great beach, might be real hard to get reservations at the state park though, they sell out quick. Or travel up to Manistee where the federal park is, it's nice and peaceful up there, but that is on a first come first serve. Have Fun!

Hi Faith!

I have been to both Hoffmaster and Ludington. Either one is an excellent choice.... close to the lake, clean, and quiet.

I'm not a camper by anyone's standards, so it says a lot that both trips were very enjoyable. Hoffmaster MAY just have the edge in that there is a lot more to do outside of the campground area than in Ludington. Unless it's changed drastically (and it may have!) Ludington doesn't have a tremendous lot going on in town, nor a large selection of restaurants, if that is important to you.

Ludington does hold a special place in my heart, however, given that I survived a tornado there while camping in a pup tent, and also had the worst sunburn of my life laying on the beach there. I can vouch for the emergency room in town, god forbid you should need it!
