Beginning Nov 1,2, and 3 this fall Michigan will install a NEW reservation system for the State Park CG's, lodging, mini cabins, rustic cabins, yurts, modern lodges, state forest CGs, boat harbor slips at the many state harbors. Complete with photo's of the camp sites. It will be DNR controlled and based in the State of Michigan in Ann Arbor and to be run totally within the state. About time!
Good riddance to the old system and it's problems that was based in a far away state and was so lacking!

Michigan launching new campground reservation system
The state Department of Natural Resources plans to launch a new reservation system for state park camping, lodging and harbors in November.

As part of the transition, the central reservation system opens Nov. 1 for state park lodging, including camper cabins, mini-cabins, rustic cabins, yurts and modern lodges, the DNR announced this week. Those sites typically have a one-year reservation window.
On Nov. 3, the system opens to facilities with a six-month reservation window, including campsites at state parks and select state forest campgrounds and slips at state harbors. For stays with an arrival of Nov. 1 or 2, campsites will be available at parks on a first-come, first-served basis.
Several enhancements are planned, including the ability to search by region, check availability at more than one park at a time and view photos of each campsite prior to making a selection. Customers also won't need to navigate through as many screens before making a reservation.
"We've spent a great deal of time listening to the many suggestions offered by our customers on ways to make our reservation system more user-friendly and practical," Denise Gruben, DNR reservation system contact manager, said in a statement.
The DNR Parks and Recreation Division has contracted with Camis USA Inc., for the reservation system, which includes a call center in Ann Arbor and servers in the Detroit suburb of Southfield.
