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. Our campground is guaranteed clean and friendly! Reservations are strongly recommended for all weekends & holidays and for groups.
