Lake Michigan Camp & Retreat is a family and group campground. Our season is May 1 through Oct. 15. Make your reservations by calling 231-869-5627 or emailing info@lakemichigancamp.org.
RV Sites (with 50/30/20 electric and water hookups), cabins, platform “glamping” tents, and a wide variety of activities, make this waterfront campground a peaceful getaway for you and your family and friends. Now open to the public, it has offered spiritual renewal and family time for over 60 years. See our calendar page for special events.
No reservations are available June 17 – July 2, 2022 while the campground hosts youth camp.
Elementary through High Schoolers can come to youth camp — see descriptions under “Events.” In July high school adventure camps depart from Lake Michigan Camp. Contact our office for booking your own seasonal retreat.
A half mile of pristine Lake Michigan waterfront is calling your name – and Lake Michigan Camp gives you the opportunity to enjoy one of Michigan’s greatest natural treasures. Set just south of Pentwater in the beautiful woods along the sand dunes, Lake Michigan Camp offers a unique camping experience.

High School seniors enjoy this last summer as a camper learning key skills needed to be a counselor. CITs are paired daily with counselors to observe, help and reflect on the the days activities, devotions, and events. Time spent learning and helping out with groups can be used as volunteer hours. This resume building week will focus on camper management, development, while keeping it fun and in the light of God. Stay in platform tents.
“CALLED BY NAME!” – this summer’s theme shares the great news that God knows us all by name and calls us for a purpose! The first thing that happens at camp is that your name is called, and you are soon known in the camp community as welcomed, loved, and encouraged to be who God calls you to be. We can’t wait to meet you, know you and call you by name as a friend in Christ.

We love this campground. Quiet, well run, and beautiful setting. You will love the sand dunes, walks on the beach and astounding sunsets. We come here every year and are extremely excited about the new camp director and how they are working so hard to make such positive improvements to the entire camp. Will continue to come back every year!
Nice big campground with wooded shady sites and beautiful Lake Michigan beach frontage. very friendly and helpful staff, we will definitely be back.
"Opened my mind to what is going on in the world and how the Bible can help us understand it with an open mind/heart."
"Our daughter is happier. She missed one-on-one connections with other kids. This trip was a life changer for her. Thank you so much!"
We stayed here for 2 nights and it was super peaceful being back in the woods. Great hosts and a great property. There are around 160 acres and 110 campsites that range form tents up to RV's. They even have tents that you can rent out that are already set up. They state that 35 feet is the max but my rig is 37 feet and had no issues at all. Water was good and the power only surged once but it was during a storm. GREAT place to stay if you want to be local to Mears, Silver Lake, Pentwater or even Ludington. With how busy some of the campgrounds can get in those cities, this one is perfect. Updated play-set and dump station as well. We will be back for sure.
“It's one of the best places to take your family camping, so very peaceful, and the view of the lake is breathtaking.”
The campground is open to the public for individuals, families and groups. The retreat center is available year round.
"Watching the sunset from the deck on the beach is my favorite place in the whole world."
"Spent an amazing Father’s Day weekend at Lake Michigan Camp & Retreat! We all had a great old time. This was our second time and loved every minute of it. Great friends, bonfires, good food, swimming, fishing and amazing memories were made."
Mine & my sister's family thoroughly enjoyed camping with you in July. It was the BEST camping we did all of 2021. Thank you for such a wonderful relaxing experience and gorgeous location. The dune, beach, all the amenities...our children enjoyed themselves the entire time and we all felt safe and taken care of like family. Thank you again for everything!! You helped make wonderful memories for our families.
