Upon arrival, we were treated with very helpful staff outside the Rangers station. However, once inside the office to discuss our check in, the DNR personnel was very rude, largely inflated attitude with a disrespectful tone about the park policies. Maybe “he” was having a bad day, still no excuse. The personnel rattled off the their particular rules and regulations for this park as if I was unable to fully understand the repercussion's for violating their rules. I had no issue with their rules, I already knew full well prior to booking the park a year ago.
We have been camping for years, even at this location on a yearly occurrence. We love our Michigan state parks but this was a bit much from one person that represents and works for our State Parks.
They “he” took their position a step further than other officers that we have dealt with over the years.
In addition to this moment, while I was walking our trash to provided dumpster at night. The officers came walking out of the dark ten deep, like something from a Tombstone movie. Ready to keep the peace. This is added security I get it, but a little amusing and over the top.
Aside from the Fort Knox feel, The park is setup nicely, newly paved roads, bathrooms are clean. Small trails to walk or ride on are nicely groomed. Clean and large beach front to enjoy the water, not overly crowded(like the day-use beach) down the road. This is a great family oriented park to visit, but be aware of the personnel. They “he”will make you feel anxious and a little upset upon arrival.

Plentiful parking and a commitment to inclusion makes this a really good place for families. The beach walk and a great deal of the paths are handicap accessible. We walked the steps up to the dunes lookouts. It was cool and worth the steps. The beach here is clean and it was not at all crowded on a July weekday. This place is a gem!

We visited on a Saturday as a family with friends. The park was beautiful. The trails are maintained and not very busy. The walk to the shoreline that we chose was shaded with lots of elevation changes. The nature center had a informative section about wildlife the kids enjoyed.

A few nice hiking trails, small visitor center with a few turtles and fish to see. Very nice beach, restrooms and changing areas available, no lifeguards. Out of state costs: $11 per day (or $39 annual pass) gets you into all state parks. Note for dog owners: we were told that state park beaches allow dogs 100 feet from the swimming area which is marked by buoys. Nice place to spend the day!

Clean camping areas and nice beach. Be sure to adhere your Michigan sticker to your windshield. Ours was stolen from our vehicle.

A wonderful state park with a beautiful beach and a small nature center as well. The best way I've experienced the park is with camping there however, there are plenty of nice things about the day use area too.

Don’t sneeze to loud, the DNR might come shut you down. This campsite caters to the 8:00am-7pm crowd. We were quietly talking around the campfire and DNR came and said they could hear us from the street, at 10:00 on a Saturday. Karen next door complained about owls being too loud. 10/10 would not recommend. Pretty nice activity field though.

Great hiking both on and off the beach. There are also steps up to a lookout area. May choices, easy parking, and a visitor center with restrooms and limited hours.

Beautiful beach in a natural setting. Short walk from parking lot with restrooms and changing rooms. Powdery sand and gorgeous shoreline perfect for a long walk. Also enjoyed the 1 mile wall loop trail through the forest.

Does the park have access to Little Black Lake for putting a kayak or stand up paddle board in?

Hi, wondering if there is enough snow to go cross country skiing at Hoffmaster state park this weekend? Is there a way check to see how much snow is on the ground or if the trails are open?
Scritta in data 10 febbraio 2020
We had some snow but Im not sure if its enough to ski on there is Muskegon State Park has trails set up for cross country too

This is a "modern" campground with restrooms and showers and campground host. You need a Michigan Recreation Passport to enter with your vehicle and you need to pay for a campsite. Usually they are around $33/day. For sites B1, B2, C1 and C2 it may be cheaper since they do not have electricity.

Just bought a boat. Wondering what kind of rules there are for boaters visiting Hoffmaster i.e. alcohol, dogs, boat anchoring, bathrooms, etc. Also, what part of the park is the best place for boaters to anchor and swim in?
Scritta in data 5 giugno 2018
I LOVE that you're asking this--super considerate.
I just spend the weekend at PJ Hoffmaster with my fam and our beach experience was totally ruined because of boaters anchoring too close to shore (right where we and other families were swimming, about 20 boats just showed up, dropped anchor 20 ft from shore--loud music, drinking, etc. ensued. Not a great scene for families with young kids (not to mention it felt SUPER rude/inconsiderate).
After getting home I checked out the laws for boating on Lake Michigan and boats are required to stay 100 feel from the shoreline/swimmers (so at Hoffmaster I'd say anchoring maybe a 1/4 mile north of the largest dune will put you well away from beachgoers). Dogs seemed fine as along as they were on a leash.
As far as bathrooms just up from where there are swimming bouys (to your left as you enter the wooded area of the dunes) are port-o-potties.
RE: alcohol, I know that PJ Hoffmaster bans (no possession or consumption) alcohol April 15 through Labor day.

We are planning a trip in an RV (not towing a car) for August, are there any transportation options (i.e. bike rental, uber, shuttle...) from the state park to the town?
Scritta in data 31 maggio 2018
I'd advice you stop in Grand Haven and rent a car or motorbike. There may be Uber but you'll definitely wait for a long time for your ride and it'll be pricey. Another option is to befriend your campsite neighbors and ask for a ride :). Most people take a trip to town for food and wood.

Can you rent cross country skis here and if so, how much?
Scritta in data 28 novembre 2016
Yes, certain times. Love the trails! The dunes create some shelter from the winds of the lake and the views are breathtaking. I would call The park for specifics.
Scritta in data 7 dicembre 2016
I would agree with not always but depends time of year. There is lots of hiking & beautiful dunes. Enjoy!

There is a restroom and changing area in the swim beach parking lot. From the parking lot there is a short trek down some stairs (or a ramp) to get to the beach.
