A Peaceful Retreat on Lake Michigan
Tucked along the northern shoreline near Carp Lake, Wilderness State Park offers one of Michigan’s most beautiful and tranquil destinations. With over 10,000 acres of forest, dunes, and beaches, it’s a haven for anyone who enjoys unspoiled nature and quiet time outdoors. Whether hiking, kayaking, or simply relaxing by the lake, the park invites you to slow down and enjoy the natural rhythm of Michigan’s north woods.

Campsites That Feel Close to Nature
Camping within Wilderness State Park is an experience in itself. The wooded campsites are spacious, well-kept, and just a short walk from Lake Michigan’s waves. Smaller RVs and campervans fit perfectly here — and a Mini-T Campervan is right at home among the pines. Easy to park and set up, it allows travelers to spend more time soaking in the peace of the park and less time dealing with logistics.

Trails, Shorelines, and Starry Nights
The park features more than 26 miles of pristine shoreline and miles of scenic trails. You can explore dune ridges, fish in inland lakes, or bike through winding forest paths. As night falls, Wilderness State Park becomes one of Michigan’s best places for stargazing thanks to its low light pollution. It’s the kind of evening that makes you glad to have a comfortable, cozy camper waiting for you back at your site.

Exploring the Area
Only a short drive away, Mackinaw City and Mackinac Island offer more to discover — from local dining to historic landmarks. After a day of sightseeing, returning to your campsite tucked in the woods of Wilderness State Park feels like the perfect way to end the day.

Travel Simply, Camp Comfortably
For travelers who appreciate practicality and comfort, the Mini-T Campervan is ideal for exploring parks like Wilderness. It’s small enough to handle winding park roads with ease and equipped with everything needed for camping comfort — from a refrigerator and microwave to a pull-out bed and solar-supported power.

Whether you’re on a weekend escape or a long road trip, Wilderness State Park is the perfect reminder that the best journeys often begin with something simple: a quiet place to park, a beautiful view, and the freedom to enjoy it all.

Happy Camping!
