Friends of Negwegon State Park

Set against the rugged beauty of Michigan's northeastern Lake Huron shoreline, the Friends of Negwegon State Park Campground offers a truly immersive wilderness experience. With four hike-in or paddle-in campsites located along the pristine beach, this rustic hideaway is defined by its isolation, breathtaking natural surroundings, and a unique designation as a Dark Sky Preserve—ideal for stargazing enthusiasts and nature lovers alike.

The campground provides a back-to-basics camping experience, with amenities like fire rings, picnic tables, bear-proof storage, and simple pit toilets. Each site offers direct access to Lake Huron’s sandy stretches, framed by the park’s diverse ecosystems, including dunes, grasslands, wetlands, and mature forests. The experience is one of profound serenity, as vehicles, modern conveniences, and crowds are notably absent here. Campers are advised to come prepared for self-sufficiency and to fully embrace the natural surroundings.

Negwegon State Park is located just 12 miles from Harrisville, Michigan, and is accessible by a seasonal two-track road or by water. Within easy reach of the campground, visitors can hike through the park’s undeveloped terrain, fish, watch for rare wildlife, or relax on the uncrowded beach. The Dark Sky Preserve designation makes nighttime a magical time for stargazing, with minimal light pollution offering unparalleled views of the cosmos.
