Over the years I’ve encountered numerous folks from Southeast Michigan who have fond memories of heading to Caseville Beach. It’s close enough to Southeast Michigan that it’s a perfect Michigan Day trip for the family. However, today with everyone sharing every minute of their day Caseville County Park Beach is one of the most posted spots on Social Media

The park’s waterfront offers a large sandy expanse with plenty of room to build sandcastles, play touch football, rent kayaks and swim the day away. Its proximity to the large campground and short distance to town means it’s frequented by many visitors. It’s considered the place to swim in Caseville. It’s one of the most Instagram, Twitter, and Facebook Selfie spots around.
Caseville County Park is Vista of Fun, See and Be Seen
While you can’t drive on the beach you can park close enough to get a great view of sunsets or the fireworks shot off the Caseville breakwater pier on July 4th. During the annual Cheeseburger festival, key events such as the cardboard canoe race and the sand sculpture draw large crowds. If you’re hungry there is a lunch stand that offers some of the best French fries around.
A Busy Beach Close to Everything
Being an ideal place to swim in Caseville, the beach is only a portion of this large city-side park. Caseville County Park sits on 40 acres, it hosts a large full-service campground with large portions of it covered with a tree canopy.

Many campers bring their boat along as launch ramps are available at the nearby marina, as is fishing off the Caseville Pier. The park also features pavilion rentals and offers a few prime beachfront sites. The park also has an open-air theater that provides live entertainment during the Ribstock BBQ competition in June and the Caseville Cheeseburger festival in August. Once there you can reach all attractions by foot or bike as the city has sidewalks throughout.
