Covert Township Park is a public waterfront facility located on the eastern shore of Lake Michigan in Van Buren County. The park features a wooded campground offering direct access to a quarter-mile stretch of sandy beach. It is situated along the bluff line, providing elevated views of the lake. The campground accommodates both tent and RV sites equipped with electrical hookups. Amenities include modern restrooms, showers, and a playground area for families. The park maintains a natural, forested landscape with dense tree cover shading many of the campsites. Public access to the shoreline is via a staircase leading from the bluffs to the beach level. The park is managed by the local township and operates primarily as a seasonal destination.

Book campsites several months in advance for summer weekends as they fill quickly.
Bring sturdy footwear for navigating the stairs between the bluff-top camping area and the beach.
Pack insect repellent, as the dense wooded areas can be home to mosquitoes during humid summer months.
Do not attempt to descend the bluffs outside of the designated stairs to prevent erosion and personal injury.
The park operates on a seasonal basis, typically opening in late spring and closing in late autumn.
Pack out all trash to maintain the natural environment; observe quiet hours at the campground to respect fellow guests.
