Registration opened for the 4th of July weekend recently, and Ludington State Park and several others in the central Michigan region are sold out already!
Ludington sells out in minutes, like one or two minutes, not thirty. I tried for two years to get a site and only saw 1 site available. By the time I added it to my cart, someone else had taken it. I ended up bribing someone and they got me a site. The park itself was fantastic, but the sites were small and dirt.
Maybe try staying at a private campgound in town and going into the SP during the day? This is what I would do if I couldn't get a water site next time.
