Most campsites are full hookup, and trailers and tents are packed in close together without privacy. We heard that walk in sites are more private and nice but there are only a few and all were booked.

Beach by campsites is only a few feet wide from grass to water (lake level really high this year) but stretches for miles and is soft and sandy. Incredibly beautiful. 

A 4 mile drive ( or lovely bike ride ) to west from campsites was a beach that was very secluded . Only one other party besides ours on a day that campsites were fully booked. (This beach is a bit more rocky but still pleasantly sandy.)

Good for swimming, kayaking, biking, traveling to Mackinac Island ferry for a day trip,  more.

There are so many things to love about Wilderness! Miles of pristine remote shoreline, both sandy and rocky. We spent hours meandering the shore, rock hunting and swimming at what felt like our own private beach. The sunsets and dunes of Sturgeon Bay are incredible! We camped at the new rustic tent campground. Our site, CC, had a phenomenal view of the Lake. We could walk from our site to the shore in a minute. The tent sites are situated for privacy between sites with mature trees and brush. The down side; the main road in the park runs right next to the campground, so we could hear a lot of traffic. Also, the ranger station/check in was right by our site. All in all, a great place to explore and camp!

We LOVE Wilderness State Park. We have camped there three times.  They offer brand new "rustic/walk in" sites. The walk in is not far and it gives the camper an AMAZING view of the water with a short walk to your own "private" waterfront. There is no electric at these sites but it's totally worth it. Wilderness is a great place whether you choose to tent camp or RV camp.  A quick 30 minutes from Mackinaw City/Bridge, and about 15 min drive to Headlands (dark sky park). I recommend if you are interested in Wilderness, book far ahead, spots book fast!

Ranger came to wake us up at 8am to tell us we needed to register. We had called the night before, we were going to arrive late due to our brakes needing unexpected service. We were told we could find an unreserved site and register once we were up and around in the morning. If you're THAT concerned why don't you have a self registration system like EVERYWHERE ELSE?! I've been to a lot of state parks and WILL NOT be returning to this one.

The name says it all. Wilderness, lots of it. Has rustic tent site to modern full hook up sites. Cabins are available. Great trails and beaches. Such a beautiful peaceful campground.  I luv it here and its about 8 miles from Mackinaw City.
