"travelnutz: Do the no-hookup parks get booked up just as far in advance as the others?"
No, the no hookups parks are seldom totally full except for holiday weekends. Leelanau can be full much more often because of it's location but it's usually small TT's, class B's, and tents because most of the site parking areas for RV's is small in size. It's not a parking lot type layout as the sites are mostly between trees with some on gravel pads on the beach sand. It's really a very neat CG with beach sand about to the water's edge and mostly stones or non-sharp rocks under the water. The CG is right next to the preserved Grand Traverse Lighthouse on the point to the west which many visitors go to but it has a buffer zone of woods between them and also the lighthouse parking/picnic area. We've camped there about 5 times so far in the last 20 years, usually in the fall.
