A brief look around the campground.

Shari G.'s Review on The Dyrt:
▶︎ Ranger Review: Klymit Motion 60 Backpack at White Pine Backcountry Camp
Campground Review: What an adorable little “backcountry” camp in the middle of Sleeping Bear National Lakeshore. Just 1.5 miles on a very easy sandy trail from the parking area at the Lake Michigan shore is this 6 site campground complete with a reasonably clean pit toilet and group cooking/campfire area with bear box.
Each site has a bit of privacy as they are well spread out from each other and have a good deal of space for multiple small tents, though no tent pads which could be a drainage issue. Nicely wooded, so lots of shade, but also lots of mosquitoes in the late spring/early summer months...bring your bug spray! The trail to the beach is just about ¼ mile across the dunes from the campground.
We ran into a group of young girls from a nearby summer camp who were experiencing their first “backpacking” adventure. They were adorable and having a ton of fun, but if you are seeking to get away from kids and tourists, be forewarned that the kid's camp nearby uses this area throughout the summer months.
In addition to this campground, there are endless options for activities in the area from dune climbing to all types of water sports to cycling to wine tasting to gorgeous sunsets! Lots of good eats in the village of Empire and Glen Arbor as well. The Village Inn in Empire has amazing pizza and Boonedocks in Glen Arbor has good food and fun music on the deck. Don't miss out on Cherry Republic's fun treats, too.
Backcountry permits of $10 per night are required from the Sleeping Bear Dunes Visitor’s Center.
Product Review: As a Ranger for The Dyrt, I was able to test the Klymit Motion 60 Backpack ( while camping at White Pine. My husband was in the market to update his old backpack when I won the May camping review contest from The Dyrt. I spent some additional money and purchased their top-of-the-line backpack for him to enjoy.
What we like most about this backpack:
Super lightweight…a mere 2.7 pounds. His old bac...

Marquette Memorial, Ludington, Michigan - REAL USA Ep. 82
On the banks of Pere Marquette Lake, sitting on a spit of land sticking out into Lake Michigan, is a monument marking the place near where Pere Marquette, the Jesuit missionary and explorer of the mid 17th century died and was originally buried. Although the exact site of his original grave has been lost to history, the relatively small parcel of land dictates that if the marker is not in the exact spot, it cannot be far off.
