Comments

Comments:
"Port Crescent State Park is located at the tip of Michigan's "thumb" along three miles of sandy shoreline of the Saginaw Bay. Some of the modern campsites offer a waterfront view, either of Lake Huron or the Pinnebog River. A 900-foot boardwalk and five picnic decks offer scenic vistas from the top of sand dunes in the day-use area.The campground is closed for winter. Information about winter camping opportunities is available on the DNR web site.
Location Go five miles west of Port Austin on M-25." - MIDNR & Recreation.Gov
