On Drummond Island, you’ll always be a happy camper.
The Drummond Island Township Park  
The Drummond Island Township Park is located approximately 6 miles from the Ferry Dock. A directional sign on the left-hand side of M-134 leads you down a very winding hard packed gravel road to the park entrance (0.5 miles). It is a first come, first served park, no reservations. You can elect to use the park on a daily, weekly, or monthly basis.One of the beauties of this park is its vast tree canopy, located on the rocky shore facing west. The sunsets are gorgeous! One section of the park leads you to a sand beach, where the water is nice and shallow about 100 yards out. From the beach you can walk to a neighboring small island, which the kids really enjoy.
The park can accommodate RV’s (max. 31 ft).as well as tents. There are 46 sites; three quarters of the sites have electric hook-up. There are two spigoted drinking water wells, concrete boat launch ramp, centrally located pavilion and out houses. Each campsite provides a picnic table and fire pit. Firewood can be purchased at Johnson's Sport Shop, Wazz’s Party Plus, Sune’s Home Center, and Sune's Grocery. Grocery stores and restaurants are about two miles east.

​The Drummond Island Heritage Trail located next to the park is another nice feature. This trail is utilized for hiking, snowshoeing, bird watching, nature walking. The lower section is approximately one mile, and the upper section is another mile.
