About
D.H. Day Group Campground offers a dedicated space for group tent camping in the heart of Sleeping Bear Dunes National Lakeshore. The four sites (G001-G004) accommodate groups of 7 to 25 people in a spacious, open setting with sparse vegetation. Each site includes a picnic table and fire ring. Vault toilets and seasonal potable water (mid-May through mid-October) are available. The campground sits approximately one mile north of the Dune Climb, where visitors can walk over sand dunes exceeding 200 feet in height and trek 1.5 miles to Lake Michigan. Glen Haven beach, popular for swimming and beachcombing, is about one mile away. Canoe and kayak rentals are available in Glen Harbor for floating the Crystal River. This is a tent-only facility with no RV access. Pets are strictly prohibited in the group camping area. All campers must check in at the main D.H. Day Campground (8000 W Harbor Highway, Glen Arbor) before setting up camp. A park entrance pass is required in addition to camping fees.
