Whenever we return to visit friends in the northern Detroit suburbs we were always hampered on where to stay. Most of the existing parks are so far away that it made it difficult. It appears last year May a new park opened just a mile from New Baltimore, right on the water of Lake St.Clair. You can be on the expressway I-94 in about a 10 minute drive from the park and be heading towards Detroit in no time. The park has no pool or clubhouse, but 34 sites, all angled back-in on a dead flat concrete pad. Full hook-ups and all asphalt streets. You can fish off the dock or swim, but no life guard and the bath house and laundry is first class. The grass is always mowed and the park looks great. We were lucky enough to get a spot for 6 weeks and are so happy to have this new park in this area. NorthPointe Shores RV Resort

$60.00+ per night for what? To fish off a dock. They don't even have a pool.

For the opportunity to stay close to Detroit when there was no option before that. That's why $60. Supply and demand.

This is my daughter's family favorite campground Dunes Harbor. Yes it is a couple of hours from metro Detroit.VERY FAMILY FRIENDLY ! It is run by a Christian organization so they say no alcohol, but no one is going to check you close. Keep your beer can in a cozy and don't carry it away from your site.

Supply and demand.Two in Oakland County (20 minutes from Det)(Addison Oaks and Groveland Oaks), Two in Belleville (30 min)(Wayne County Fairgrounds, Detroit Greenfield), one in Monroe (45 min±) (Sterling SP), one in Brighton (1 hr±) (Bishop Lake SP); all around $30 - $40 per night. Then there is Port Huron KOA which has 10 times more amenities for you $60. If supply and demand is the driving force, someone will soon be bankrupt.

Have you driven in Detroit? Depending on traffic, those travel times could be significantly longer. Never mind the extra ga$ and the considerable aggravation of driving in that area.

Location is everything. My guess is this guy will have no problem filling his campsites for $60 per night, pool or no pool.

If you have, then you would know there's is no difference between driving in from Ira Twp or driving in from Belleville (or anywhere else).

I've driven to, from, and through the Detroit metro area many times. Not sure I get your point. Mine is that travel times can vary depending on traffic, and that this campground's location is an advantage. For reference, the comment I replied to has Brighton, Port Huron, and Monroe as competition.
