Beadle Bay Marina & Campground presents a rare opportunity to acquire a well-established, income-producing waterfront property in one of Michigan’s premier boating, fishing, and waterfowl destinations. Situated on approximately 25 acres with direct canal access just minutes from Wild Fowl Bay, this turnkey operation offers a powerful combination of marina services, campground accommodations, and future expansion potential.
The marina currently features 48 boat slips, each equipped with 30-amp electrical service, with 45 slips under seasonal contracts. Demand remains strong, and the existing layout offers the ability to easily expand slip capacity—potentially doubling current numbers. The protected canal access and proximity to Saginaw Bay make this an ideal hub for boaters and anglers.
The campground includes 50 campsites, all with 30-amp electrical and water hookups. Of these, 43 sites are reserved for seasonal campers, supported by a current two-year waitlist, demonstrating strong, consistent demand and stable recurring revenue. The property layout allows ample room for additional sites, amenities, or recreational enhancements.
Also included is “The Lodge,” a fully renovated (2020) 3-bedroom, 1-bath residence currently operating as a successful Airbnb rental. This provides an additional income stream or can serve as an owner’s residence or on-site management housing.
