Mitchell State Park

A gateway to Michigan’s natural beauty, Mitchell State Park Campground sits on a peninsula between Lake Cadillac and Lake Mitchell, offering campers unparalleled access to water-based recreation and local trails. Its standout feature is the unique Clam Lake Canal, a Guinness World Record-holder, connecting the two lakes and providing a scenic centerpiece for the park.

The campground boasts over 200 sites, all equipped with electrical hookups and nestled just a short distance from the water, making it ideal for fishing, swimming, kayaking, and boating. Modern amenities, including clean showers, restrooms, and a sanitation station, ensure a comfortable stay for both RV and tent campers. Visitors can explore the Cadillac Nature Study Area with over three miles of hiking trails or enjoy the well-maintained beaches and boat launches. The Carl T. Johnson Hunting and Fishing Center, located within the park, adds an educational element with rotating wildlife exhibits and interpretive programs.

Located within minutes of downtown Cadillac, Mitchell State Park offers a seamless blend of outdoor adventure and local conveniences. Campers are just a short walk or drive from charming shops, restaurants, and additional attractions. A perfect destination for family outings, fishing trips, or an extended getaway, this campground delivers a lively yet relaxing atmosphere against a stunning natural backdrop.
