For more than 75 years, Camp Dearborn has been the place to be during the outdoor camping season, and this year will be no different.

With its appealing amenities–including a pair of swimming lakes and beaches; athletic fields; disc golf; shaded picnic areas; tennis, basketball, and pickleball courts; concession stand and fishing lake–Camp Dearborn has proven to be a popular destination for both overnight campers and day visitors.

The Camp’s special public events–holiday fireworks, Kids’ Fishing Derby, the new “Summer Sounds” Wednesday evening concert series, and “Movies in the Park,” and MI Bright Lights–enhance as a family-friendly recreational site.

Some special events, such as Swim with a Mermaid and Halloween Weekends, are available exclusively to overnight patrons.

Camp Dearborn offers a variety of options for overnight campers, including rustic cabins, resort cabins, and green canvas cabins, as well as areas for camper-provided tents and RVs.
