Sleeper State Park
Phone: (989) 856-4411
Albert E. Sleeper State Park comprises 723 acres of forest, wetlands and sandy beach and dunes located on the Saginaw Bay of Lake Huron. Visitors can watch sunsets on the bay, relax in the shade and seclusion of the campground or roam the trails of the ancient dune forests. The park first opened as a county park in 1925. In 1927 the state acquired the property and called it Huron State Park. In 1944, the park was renamed in honor of Albert E. Sleeper, governor of Michigan (1916-1920) and resident of Huron County, who signed into law the statute that created the state park system.
The campground is closed for winter. Information about winter camping opportunities is available on the DNR web site.
