We are thrilled to share that Whispering Surf Campground will host the Michigan Airstream Club’s fourth annual fall rally this weekend, October 2–5. This sold-out event will bring 36 iconic Airstream trailers to our wooded grounds at Bass Lake, making it the largest Michigan rally of the year. Members from across the state and beyond will gather for a weekend of connection, relaxation, and adventure. “There’s nothing quite like seeing rows of polished Airstreams shining beneath our tall trees,” says campground owner Lisa Manning. “The historic lodge, the circle of campfires, and the laughter of friends old and new make it a truly magical time.” While this rally is a private event for Michigan Airstream Club members, we are honored to welcome them to our campground and proud to be a part of their tradition. Events like these highlight the beauty of Whispering Surf and our mission to create memorable experiences in nature. We look forward to sharing photos and stories from the weekend—and to many more unique gatherings at Whispering Surf in the seasons ahead!

Whispering Surf Campground had a fantastic turnout for our annual Halloween Fun Weekend, held September 26–28. This event continues to grow every year, and 2025 was no exception! Campers of all ages joined in for a weekend full of festive activities, laughter, and community fun.

Saturday morning kicked off with our always-popular Coffee Social at the Lodge, giving everyone a chance to catch up before the spooky celebrations began. In the afternoon, kids lined up for pumpkin carving, proudly creating their own jack-o’-lanterns. A big thank you again to Tom Majdeski and Wendy Spoelma for sponsoring this activity and making it possible.

The highlight of the weekend was, of course, Trick-or-Treating around the campground. We had nearly 30 kids in costume this year, and they brought plenty of excitement and energy as they went site to site collecting treats. Campers really went all out with decorations, making the campground look both festive and spooky. Judging for the Costume Contest and Site Decorating Contest happened during trick-or-treating, and this year we added a fun new twist with a prize for the Best Adult Treat—a huge hit with the grown-ups!

Afterward, everyone gathered for a cozy Community Campfire with s’mores at the firepit. Thank you to John and Christine Schreiber for sponsoring this delicious tradition that brought families and friends together under the autumn night sky.

On Sunday, the Lodge was buzzing with the smell of fresh pancakes at our Pancake Breakfast. Guests enjoyed a free meal together before contest winners were announced and another successful Halloween Fun Weekend came to a close.

Thank you to all our campers for making this weekend such a memorable event! We can’t wait to see you all again next season for more fun, traditions, and community spirit at Whispering Surf Campground.
