The development of Sunset Bay Marina and RV Park dates back to 1954, when a small group of families from Dearborn, Michigan acquired some upland acreage in Tuscola County along the shoreline of Saginaw Bay, 20 miles east of Bay City. With approvals from the U.S. Army Corps of Engineers and the Michigan Department of Natural Resources, construction began in 1954 and was officially licensed by the State of Michigan in 1964 as the first Marina in Tuscola County.
The Marina and RV Park is unique in its design, as it extends approximately 1500 feet out into Saginaw Bay. This allows for very short access to the bay and its deeper waters. The immediate areas in the Bay consist of Wildfowl Bay, Callahan Reef, Thomas Reef, and the heavily fish populated section known as The Slot, which provides great fishing!
.
Our Mission:
The Marina and RV Park's mission is to provide affordable boating, camping, swimming, and fishing opportunities in a friendly and family oriented atmosphere. This section of Saginaw Bay is known for its abundance of fish species such as walleye, perch, bass, catfish, blue gill, sun fish, and pike.
