Orchard Beach State Park, Michigan
|
| | My girlfriend and I camped at Orchard Beach State Park for four days in June. The weather was sunny and moderately warm. The camp site itself is nice, located right on Lake Michigan. It has hot water, showers, and modern bathrooms. There is also electrical hookup for the camp sites. Our actual site was overlooking the bluff. Beautiful. Because it's situated on a bluff, for very old people or those in poor physical health it could be hard walking up and down the steep steps to the beach. The beach is absolutely amazing. White sand, soft. One of the |
|
things I liked the most about Manistee is that the beach is not crowded. We walked miles to reach the lighthouse in the distance, and though this was mid-week, there were almost nobody on our journey. The last day of our stay, which was Friday, the campground had become a bit
| | more crowded, which up until then was only about 1/2 full at best. The campground is more geared towards families and those who want it low key. If you are looking for lots of people and hot bodies, go to Grand Haven. What's nice about Manistee is there are other diversions as well. There is a casino within 5 miles of the campground, but I didn't find that video poker was a winning proposition at the Little River Casino. Manistee has a quaint downtown. There is also golfing nearby if that's your thing. All in all, I loved everything about Manistee. | |

It's a little bit out of the way, but I really enjoyed that we were not surrounded by people at all times. On the way back to Detroit, we spent a half day in Grand Haven, and what difference. Grand Haven is all about being close to others and checking out the bods on the beach,
and Manistee is all about enjoying the bluffs on Lake Michigan and looking at a picture perfect Michigan day. Lake Michigan is so beautiful. Says Boo Boo the Bear
