About
Whispering Surf Campground at Bass Lake embraces the idea of old-fashioned camping - forested with oak, pine and white birch and nestled between the clear blue waters of Bass Lake and the white sands of Lake Michigan. Tucked away in the North Woods, it's a slow-moving pace where you can relax and enjoy the best of what camping has to offer.
The historic Lodge offers recreation for the entire family and is available for group events. Our private beach on Bass Lake is a short walk through the park and the beautiful beaches of Lake Michigan are accessible by a walk down Lakeshore Drive or Sunset Lane. Our dock on Bass Lake is available to tie off your watercraft on a first-come, first-served basis. Canoe and kayak rentals are available. Forget the marshmallows? Stop by our camp store for S'more makings, ice, firewood, and more. Enjoy our complimentary mini-golf course for some competitive family fun! Free WiFi is available throughout the park.
Whispering Surf offers a children's playground and group fire pit for evening socializing. Your well-behaved and leashed pet is welcome at Whispering Surf (max 2 dogs) and will enjoy the Bark Park. Our campground is guaranteed clean and friendly!
**Reservations are strongly recommended for all weekends & holidays, and for groups.**
