    We were recommended to head up to Leelanau to experience the snowshoe trails of the state park. Little did we know that the trails were not connected with viewing the lighthouse. We took a quick detour and explored the surrounding area of the lighthouse. The brisk, windy weather did not allow us to venture for long by the lighthouse, so we hopped back into the car in search of the trails. We located the walking trails, and set out to explore the snowy landscape. There were 8 easy to navigate trails, which was very helpful considering we went on this adventure with a toddler! It was a lovely afternoon walking along the majestical, paved trails of northern Michigan. We cannot wait to visit these trails again this summer!

    This is a beautiful, rustic campground! Great hiking trails are just south of the lighthouse and campground. The lighthouse is unique and hosts a great little museum. Natural beauty all around!

    We stayed at the Leelanau State Park this past summer. We found the campground to be clean and well run, with pit toilet facilities, no showers. The surrounding countryside was charming. We picnicked in a cherry orchard, went for scenic bike rides down deserted back roads, stopped at many small, local shops to buy things, and went home loaded with fresh peaches, cherries, preserves and other goods we can't get in Chicago. This was the anchor for a wonderful camping vacation.

    We were very disappointed here. We came to view the lighthouse and had to pay a $9 entrance fee and then an additional fee of $4 each adult to get into the lighthouse. We had no problem with the fee for the lighthouse but, we had no interest in doing any other activities. Seems unfair to those folks who only want to see the lighthouse.

    This is how I remembered camping as a kid. Rustic and very quiet. There's a small park for kids and a lighthouse you can go into for a small fee. You have to drive to the walking trails and there is no beach at this campsite. Quiet and friendly rangers offer coffee and baked goods two days a week. A good campsite for adults looking for a quiet weekend

    The camping here was wonderful. Quiet, peaceful and private if you can pick a good spot. It's rustic - vault toilets and no showers - but that's a small price to pay for being lulled to sleep by the sound of Lake Michigan.

    The campground is located on the very northwest tip of the lower peninsula of Michigan and next to the Grand Traverse Light House and museum. The campsites are near the water and rocky beach. It is a quiet, primitive campground with clean pit toilets, and water must be carried to your site. Firewood is available from the camp staff. Many campers search for Petosky Stones along the shoreline which are filled with petrified sea creatures. The sunsets over the lake are spectacular. The campground beach is rocky and shallow. A beautiful trail area in the park is a five mile drive and the trails lead through a thick forest rich with all kinds of mushrooms and fungi to a dune area with a beautiful sandy swimming beach. The water is shallow and the beach is never crowded. It's a park which is totally unspoiled and well maintained.. Keep it a secret!

    Northporte and Leelanau State park are really nice, butIf you go in the Fall the Weekends might be the tine to go.We went in Sept and most things are only open 3 days a week.So if you like to be hopping then go in the Summer, Peaceful and Quietgo in the Fall. We did like the Peacefulness but maybe we will whenmore things are open .

    Awesome small town, and this lighthouse caps it off. It is a short drive north from town, very scenic, and a volunteer staff to answer questions. They are very approachable and eager to discuss their light and it's history.

    Just finished spending 3 nights at the Evergreen cabin within the campground. Cabin was great, very clean and had plenty of room, with plenty of electrical outlets and lighting. This campground is "Rustic" so that means no showers or flushable toilets. But the pit toilets are kept very clean by the staff. Overall a great place to stay, the only downside was the final night was so windy that it was impossible to have a campfire

    We went on a beautiful day and walked the grounds and beach. Limited picnicking facilities, pristine old lighthouse. Even as seniors, we had to pay for the visit, though I don't think it was much. I never mind upkeep for parks.

    We were looking for a place to stay so we could tour the Leelanau area. We decided to tent campTo save money. We reserved a lakefront site. The site was a good ways from the lake...not lake front as it implied. There was a good bit of brush to go through to get to the lake. The Lake level seemed low and the sand near the lake had a nasty odor to it. The campground was clean and quiet. The toilets were vault toe and water was far from our site. We stayed one night out of two...it is a nice campground if you realize it is rustic, and it is not ON the lake as it implies. We did have a nice tour of the area though.

    Even on a weekday during the height of the summer tourist season, we found the park to be pleasant. While there were people milling about the lighthouse, down by the beach, and in the playground/picnic area, we never felt crowded. The four kids in our group really enjoyed the lighthouse and rocky beach--not to mention the swings and slide (basic, but it kept them occupied for about an hour). There is a charge for entering the grounds and then an additional charge for the lighthouse. Both are reasonable ($8 for a car to enter the park; $4 for adults and $2 for kids to get into the lighthouse). I've seen complaints about the entrance fees on this site, and don't quite understand why. It's a state park and a historic location such as this isn't cheap to maintain, I'm sure. Welcome to the 21st century when everything costs. The lighthouse is in great shape and, if you take the time to look at and read the displays, you'll get a lot out of it. The view from the top of the lighthouse is nice. I had a conversation with two of the volunteer lighthouse keepers. Apparently, you can volunteer for one or two weeks to work at the lighthouse. You pay a small fee for lodging and work 8 hours a day at the admission desk and in the lighthouse answering questions. Sounds interesting, especially for people with flexible summer schedules and a sense of adventure.

    The lighthouse wasn't that impressive but I loved the view of the lake. It was beautiful. There are some good hiking trails as well. Trails were the best part of the park. You have a choice of choosing either the shorter trail or the bigger one. The hiking trials come before you reach the park. If you just want to hike you need not go to the park and pay the fee.

    The lighthouse at the Park was not what I thought a lighthouse should look like. It's kind of a miniature. They charged $11.00 at the Park Entrance and another $4.00 to enter the lighthouse. The place was not very impressive, the lake front was kind of primitive and lack of attraction. The slope to the Lake was hard to walk. I rather go to other places.
