The campground provides convenient access to the park's beautiful beach and serves as the closest camping option to the Big Sable Point Lighthouse trailhead, which begins between campsites 58 and 59. The park encompasses nearly 5,300 acres of diverse landscape including scenic sand dunes, forests, ponds, and marshlands, with several miles of shoreline on both Lake Michigan and Hamlin Lake. Pines Campground features modern restrooms with showers, a mini cabin option, and handicap accessible facilities. The campground is situated in a prime location for exploring the park's 21 miles of marked trails and experiencing the natural beauty of Michigan's western shoreline.
