Michigan state parks vehicle fees

That is correct the way I was told at four Michigan state parks in the UP in late June and early July.
Though I have a TT, I did ask about motorhomes with a towed vehicle and was told that most of the time the annual pass was put on the driving around vehicle, and the $7 per stay applied to the motorhome.
BTW the 'yearly pass' is for the calendar year, not for 12 months. One you purchase in September will not be good next April.
We never actually camped in a Michigan SP, a death in the family ended our trip in mid-July rather than mid-Sept as we planned.
In addition to the city and commercial parks in the UP, there are several nice USFS campgrounds for very reasonable rates. That's what we used. We saw nice casino RV parks in a couple places also.
I also agree, many state parks in places like Michigan or Connecticut or California now cost out of states visitors as much as local commercial campgrounds. With fewer services.
