The Grand Retreat, featuring Just Show Up Camping and Captain’s Quarters, is located right on US2 for easy access to several great locations, including Mackinac Island, Mackinac City, Tahquemenon Falls, Pictured Rocks, Grand Marais, and the Soo Locks. Our campsites are all “man-made” and put you into ancient glacial created forest floors with old-growth white pines. We have a bath

This campsite offers a stunning view right by Lake Michigan, with many campers appreciating the welcoming and helpful hosts, Andrew and Mike. The proximity to the beach is a major highlight, and many guests have enjoyed the peaceful and starry nights. However, some visitors noted issues like traffic noise from the nearby highway and occasional mix-ups with site reservations. Despite these minor setbacks, the overall experience seems to be positive, with campers keen to return for the serene environment and friendly atmosphere.

Beach camping
Although high wind(25mph) ruined our camping, we loved camping at Andrew’s land. Its close to the beach and very nice view.

Relax and enjoy
Honestly, it was so relaxing and I love the fact that it’s right on the beach. My dog absolutely had a blast! My only complaint was it was really windy the last night but we can’t control Mother Nature 🤭 but over all I would definitely do it again. It was beautiful and clear both nights! Thank you HipCamp it was awesome ! 👏🏼
