    Welcoming and beautiful! The staff (hosts) were so wonderful. The bathrooms were very clean. The garbage pickup at the site was appreciated. Having both Bass Lake and Lake Michigan within easy walking distance made the trip perfect. I highly recommend this campground!

    This is a good campground in a decent location. It was our third time here. Access to WS’s beach on Bass lake is a short walk. A couple of access points to Lake Michigan are generally walkable. Clean bathrooms. Friendly staff. Our only issue was that the there were a lot of ants on the site this time. Like, more than generally expected. So, knocked off a star because 1/2 star isn’t an option. Otherwise 4.5 stars.

    Thank you for your review and for returning to Whispering Surf for a third visit. We're happy to hear you enjoyed the location, beach access, clean facilities, and friendly staff. We're sorry the ant activity impacted your stay. While we do our best to maintain the campground, nature occasionally has other plans, especially in our wooded setting. We appreciate your feedback and hope to see you again for visit number four!

It was so very quiet in the campground every day and night. Great place to stay and highly recommend it if you find yourself in this area. Thank you to all the staff at Whispering Surf.

    I think Fall is one of the best times to stay with us! Life is slowing down and the campground operates at a slower pace than the busy summer months. I'm happy you enjoyed your stay with us and hope to welcome you again some day! -Lisa, Owner

    The campsite chosen was as described. The staff were friendly, welcomed us and assisted in the trailer set-up. All the sites that we saw were in good condition. The public shower and restrooms were clean and hot water was plentiful. The Wi-Fi worked well the entire 4 day stay. The site is a good central point to visit Lake Michigan and the dunes.

    Being that I stayed during the week, I was literally the only person there. Bathrooms and showers very clean. I think the campsite could have been cleaned before I put my tent up. There was a ton of acorns that I had to clean. The owner was very kind.

    We clean sites and firepits after every stay, however acorns are part of the rustic charm in the Fall and we like to leave them for the squirrels! We would have been happy to loan you a rake or scoop to move the acorns from your tent area. Our Spring and Fall seasons are usually very quiet and a great time to enjoy a peaceful stay - especially mid-week!

    We only stayed less than 24 hours so there may be quite a bit that we didn’t see but it’s a clean camp with very helpful staff. Spaces were too close together for me but that could be a benefit for groups.

    Thank you for your kind review! We have been a campground since camping started, so our sites were not designed for the large RVs of today - while we have big rig sites, they are certainly closer together than many newer campgrounds. Friendly staff, cleanliness, and high service are the touchstones for our campground!

    Excellent Host! Clean,beautiful grounds! Will return!
