Tawas Point State Park

Story

Tawas Point State Park is a Michigan state park located in Northern Michigan near the city of East Tawas. It is just over an hour drive from the Saginaw and Bay City area and a little over three hours from the Detroit area. The park contains 183acre situated on the end of a sand spit that forms Tawas Bay. It has been referred to as the "Cape Cod of the Midwest." The campground is located on Tawas Bay where the water is shallow and warm for swimming. Located within the park is the Tawas Point Light. Although it has been remodeled several times, the station serves as the sole representative of a true Victorian-era style station built on the Great Lakes. The Lighthouse is now open for tours and climbing with a small gift shop on site; it is also possible to stay in the keeper's quarters.The park is located along the Lake Huron Flyway. This is considered to be an especially good locale for birding. It is said to be the most important "migrant trap" in the Saginaw Bay area, and 297 species have been seen in and around the park. A fairly complete list of migratory birds that frequent the area is available. Described as a "bird watchers' paradise," it has also been officially recognized as an important bird area by the National Audubon Society because it "upports an incredible diversity and abundance of passerine migrants each spring and fall."

We camp here every summer. Well maintained campground and beach. Firewood and ice available at the office. Be sure to visit the Lighthouse, they do offer a tour. Great view from the top.

Camped here one night before continuing on but I wish I could have spent a week. Nice campsites, clean facilities, awesome mix of easy access to town and relaxing in a natural setting. Truely fantastic.

Price increased along with increased hostility by the park "rangers" enforcing an 11pm park quiet time... This is camping, there shouldn't be a repercussion for talking around a campfire past 11pm...let's not forget they don't have water hook up on site either.
