DHD Group Campground

Glen Arbor, Michigan

About

D.H. Day Group Campground is a tent-only facility located in the heart of Sleeping Bear Dunes National Lakeshore, about one mile north of the Dune Climb, where visitors can walk over miles of sand dunes. This year-round campground has four sites which accommodate groups of 7 to 25 people. The campground has drinking water during the reservation season, but the water is shut off from October through April. Pets and RVs are not allowed in the group sites. Access to the campground is via a dirt road. The area is open with sparse vegetation, and visitors may see birds, deer, and wild turkey. The park features a glacially formed landscape with northern hardwood and conifer forests, abandoned farm meadows, wetlands, lakes, streams, bogs, and splendid examples of a glacially formed landscape. The most prominent features in the park are the perched sand dunes above Lake Michigan, with overlooks at Sleeping Bear, Empire, and Pyramid Point bluffs about 400 feet above the lake. With 65 miles of Lake Michigan shoreline and numerous inland lakes and streams, the park is wonderfully water-oriented. D.H. Day Group is a hub for water activities, with motorized and non-motorized boating allowed on the lake, and a boat ramp about six miles away. Campers can also rent canoes and kayaks in the town of Glen Harbor to float the nearby Crystal River.
