😊 = Good
😐 = Okay
😞 = Lousy
Beach/Swimming 😊 = Good
Great beach. Super sandy and nice water.
Campsites 😐 = Okay
Sites on the water are great, sites along the highway are loud. This was the view from my campsite:
Bathrooms 😞 = Lousy
Arguably the worst bathrooms in a state park I have seen so far. Two buildings, this one is super old. The plumbing is bad and they are dirty. This one was missing the drain in the floor so they nailed a piece of wood over it. The newer building I had hopes for, but it had a terrible stench. Plus it also needed some cleaning.
A toe stubber...
Playground 😊 = Good
Nice playground in a huge sandy area.
Check out these cute kids!
Dog Beach 😞 = Lousy
None. There used to be a dog beach at the very end of the park, but it is no longer there. Taffy was sad.
Worst thing about this park:
It was dirty. Not only the bathrooms, but there seemed to be litter throughout the park. Plastic water bottles on the beach and little bits of trash on the campsites.
On a side note, to be honest I didn't enjoy driving through miles and miles of windmills to get there. Spread across flat farmland it looked like some kind of dystopian movie set.
Best thing about this park:
If you include the day park, Port Crescent has 3 miles of super sandy beach. Plus it's one of the few parks on Lake Huron where you can see a sunset.
I loved hearing this guy play guitar at the campfire!
What else is there to do:
You can canoe or kayak the Pinnebog. It ends at Lake Huron and you have a great beach to play at before you turn around and head back.
There is a cool putt putt golf and ice cream place not far from the park.

Want to camp there?
It has been years since we camped at Port Crescent. From your description, I think the State needs to invest in some upgrades and more park assistants. Lake Huron parks are just as valuable as Lake MI parks, and deserve equal amenities and upkeep. Get Barbie up on a soap-box!
