We stayed in one of the new geodomes at the state campground. We liked the location and that it was sound proof and air conditioned. We liked that we had a small fridge, microwave, fire pit and 4 chairs for by the fire. We could easily walk to the beach and spent most of our time there. Note: you do not have direct access to the beach from your site, but it’s a short walk. There are a few things that would made this a 5 star stay. Some shade - there are no trees near the domes - you are in the sun 100%. I recommend campers bring a canopy. The bathroom is quite a little jaunt away. There is a need for some hooks inside the domes to put wet towels or bags. Finally, although the description says it comes with 2 bunk beds- you must assemble them. The space is small after assembled. I would not recommend for more than 2 people or for a family with small children only.See more..
My Wife and I were at the Farmers Market on Saturday June 26th. I rained all day, but we were still able to enjoy the Market. Be sure not to miss the Vendors in the Old Gym next door, it is an extension of the Market...See more..
4.5Grindstone General Store(42 reviews) - Scream in Delight for this Ice Cream! Speciality & Gift Shops
Historic building and location, quaint general store with wonderful treasures — and THE BEST ice cream - if you value delicious, creamy, flavor packed ice cream, shakes, malts. Homemade and a supplier brand is in the freezer waiting for you from spring till fall. Portions? We’ll leave that “little” surprise for you to discover for yourself! Bring a Tupperware or container of some sort unless you plan to share with 4 friends! A true treasure hidden away in Grindstone City. A must see even if you’re lactose-free...they serve ‘sherbet’ too. Can’t wait till they open for the season!!!See more..
This is a combination marina, very small beach, and pier. I only used the pier portion, and you do get a great view of a lighthouse and Lake Huron. It’s kept up very well- the concrete portions were apparently redone in 1979 but they are well maintained- ample raining and no broken concrete.See more..
