Lake Leelanau RV Park was originally called Teter's Little Finger Beach. It was started by Ray & Florence Teter in the 1960's. The campground had all dirt roads with only rustic, grass-covered campsites. There was a peanut farm, a large garden, and a community camper's garden on the south side of the park.
Located on the northern side of the park were five housekeeping cottages nestled among the campsites. An old barn sat at the entrance where our fountain currently is located. There were small aluminum row boats for rent, an aluminum boathouse, docks, and a wonderful sandy beach that remains today.

Our in-season office hours are from 9:00 am until 7:00 pm. Stop by or give us a call! Yes, dogs must be on a leash (6 foot max) at all times. You must clean up after them and they are not permitted on the beach at any time for obvious sanitary reasons. You may not leave them unattended on your site or in your camper.
On the northwestern shore of Michigan's lower peninsula lies Sleeping Bear Dunes National Lakeshore, a hilly region fringed with massive coastal sand dunes and dotted with clear lakes. The Sleeping Bear Dunes were even voted the "Most Beautiful Place in the Country" by ABC News! Go back in time to the Historic Fishtown in Leland.

Fishing (Lake Leelanau is filled with Walleye, Bass, Northern Pike, Perch, Trout, and loads of pan fish.).

If you like a secluded quiet camping this place is NOT for you. It’s so tightly packed with huge campers and seasonal park models even though the sites are wide. Small trees, no privacy. Tiny beach but plenty of boat slips. HEAVY TRAFFIC of kids bicycles and senior golf carts regardless of which site you’re on. Didn’t even do a camp fire bcz the fire ring is so close to the road. This would be great for a big city person with a boat/jet ski but not for a true camper. I wish we went to Pines campground.

Beautiful Park, great office staff. Not happy with the people that have nothing else to do but make sure you are driving 5 mph instead of 8 mph. In their attempt to “protect children” those same children were passing our truck on their scooters, skateboards and bikes. How is that any safer than going a couple of mph faster. Meanwhile, Seasonals buzz by at 15 mph on their golf carts. Staff guide new campers to their sites faster than the required 5 mph, and lawn tractors and other farm implements scoot along at higher speeds, too. As much as we love this park for its location, we probably won’t

My family has been coming here for years. We go up for 2 weeks every year! It is so clean and beautiful. Kids can run around without adult supervision from 8:00 in the morning to midnight! I have made so many friends up there! And as a kid myself there is so many fun activities due to covid some were canceled :( But me and my cousins love running around and making new friends! I am actually going up again in 11 days! I look forward to it the day we leave! It’s like my second home! The bathhouses are very nice (most of the time clean). I love taking our boat to lealand and riding wave runners

This our third time staying here we love this place. The sites are large and always very clean. The bathhouse is very nice! Water access and the views are the best. Me and my wife where looking for a water front home and decided to put a deposit down on a seasonal site. The weekender site a lot of them have great water views.

We love this park. It's our second year coming here. We love being on the lake. The staff and services are top notch. Everyone makes sure your visit is a good one. It's located not far from Glen Arbor and Suttons Bay, but there are many wineries to try within a few miles from the park. Plus, there's a grocery store and restaurants 3 miles from the park.
