IF you get into the park in the summer, you don't have a choice of locations of sites in the park, you take what's available and it might not be anything at all.

Reservations are an absolute must, but we've always had a choice of campsites. Yes, there are small, crowded sites, just like any other park, but we don't book those. We book the larger, uncrowded ones. We prefer the Beechwood campground because of the towering hardwoods. All the trees mean there's not much grass, but we also have a camp mat so dirt in the trailer isn't much of an issue. Cedars campground has a lot less shade so it's more grassy. There are some very large sites in Cedars, but rest assured they're among the first to get booked. The Pines campground is closest to Lake Michigan, but it also has the smallest sites. There are few in there that would hold our rig.
