In an effort to encourage residents to explore the campground and the nearby Mason County Picnic Area, Mason County Campground (Michigan) is offering a buy-one-night, get-one-night-free camping weekend this coming October 7-8.
“We hope people in Mason County will come camp and see what a nice campground the county has,” manager Deb Roberts said.
Massive hardwood trees surround the 56 campsites, with easy access to a central bathhouse with handicap-accessible restrooms and showers. Over half of the sites have all amenities, and all have water and electricity. The campground also has four camper cabins.
In 2020, a playground was added to a nature path rolling through the landscape that leads to the Picnic Area. The Picnic Area is home to three Mason County Disc Golf Organization courses. Consumers Energy operated access to the Lake Michigan and Pumped Storage Pond overlooks are adjacent to the south portion of the property.
The campground also has a family-friendly Tinderbox disc golf facility, built in 2021. Campers can borrow discs to try out the course, which winds through the forest hills on the site.
“We at the campground call it the best-kept secret in Mason County,” Roberts said. “So come out and visit us.”
Mason County Campground and Picnic Area are under the management of the Mason County Parks Commission.
According to its website, all sites feature a fire ring, picnic table, and charcoal grill. While full hook-up sites include gravel pads and sewer. It is also located five minutes away from Lake Michigan.
