Covert Park Beach & Campground

This is a more rustic, shaded park 100 yards from Lake Michigan. Those without an RV can pay $7 a day for access to the beach. We stayed in spot 19 which was fairly level and could handle a larger rig. We camped here in a 25' Class C with water and electric hookups. Management bids on the park to run it and this late in the year they must have had there fill of campers as they looked tired. The bathrooms/showers are clean and they assign you a door code to get in (I assumed it was to keep those not renting a spot but visiting the lake out of the buildings). This is not a well known park. My wife stayed her for weeks in her younger adult years. She says August is when the lake is at it's warmest. The beach was large with sand. We could wade out for yards in the cool water up to our chest. We had a fire ring and were camped next to a tent. I'd characterize the park as being similar to a state park but with a great big lake attached. Same atmosphere. We plan to stay here again but maybe for a week bedtime. We had no cell phone or internet coverage. Nice break from electronics! The beach is not dog friendly but there are dog friendly, and free, beaches in the immediate area. We did not leave the park to tour the area, but it is relatively close to larger town where there should be plenty to do. We stayed during weekdays so I'm not sure if the park gets loud during the weekends.
