Bay City State Park

Nice place, fairly well kept up. Lakeshore facilities are across the street with hiking trails, beach, small water park for children, and a good sized lagoon filled with a wide variety of birds. Bring a long power cord: each power box serves four campsites.

This was a typical state park. I stay because they’re reliable and inexpensive. Basic amenities, clean bathrooms, electric hook-ups. Some sites were pretty small, but there are some very large ones as well. It was nicely wooded and a very nice park across the street with ample parking.

Campground had plenty of amenities and a good location, but the sites were too close together.

We arrived on a Thursday and stayed until Monday. Campground was very quiet for being a weekend. Facilities were maintained and stocked with items that were needed. Overall great experience with the campground. The Park across the street, however, was a huge disappointment. We've being coming to Bay City for years and with there not be... more

Bay City State Park was a nice surprise with a lot to offer in biking and walking paths. This is a big campground, but we liked our site and were close to bathrooms and office. Roomy campsites were a plus! Very friendly staff and campers. We would go back.

We came in late for just a place to rest before heading further north. Drop box available after 10pm (summer). Between 8p-10p there is a yellow phone to check in with. Can book day of until 8pm online. Easy to get into late at night. Big lots. Fire pit. Sites are electric only. Recommend to have extension cord for some sites, as plug i... more

Site had electric only and are somewhat close by, the are is bordered by foreste but the sites are not wooded. The park has easy access to a nice beach on the bay. Would stay here again for the convenience to the bay.

Even though this is local for us we love camping here. It can get flooded during really rainy times but for the most part the sites are large, staff is friendly, and grounds are well maintained

The park was all but empty. Had electric hook ups but only a few sites clear of snow. It was a blast having the place to wander. The lake was awesome. It is open year round which is hard to find in Michigan. Great place to experience winter in Michigan and I would bet even more awesome during warmer seasons. Happy Camping!

This campground is convenient to where I need to be when I come to town, so I will probably stay here again. Verizon reception terrible; one bar usually, occasionally two.

When I checked in (no reservation) there was a couple ahead of me that was charged an additional $2.50/nt for making a reservation.
