Watch out for cost of Michigan State Parks
I've complained before and am again though I don't expect it to change anything. But sometimes I wonder if anyone really complains about price any more so the seller never knows?? We are from Illinois...

There is no one in Georgia who was planning to spend two weeks in the Upper Peninsula but cancelled the trip because the state park's camping cost out of state residents $49.00 while in state residents only Pay $44.00.
No we did not cancel a trip due to the resident/non resident price differential. But we did change one because Michigan charges that high entry fee every day of the stay. That was 4 years ago. Michigan lost out in the planning of next years trip also. Still going back to the Great Lakes, just not Michigan.
First, There is no "resident" and "Non-resident" fee. Everyone pays the same price. At The vast majority of state parks, camping fees are less than $30.00 per night.campground prices
Secondly, there is a yearly fee called "Recreation Passport", everyone, resident and nonresident alike pay the same fee and it's good for any state park in Michigan for the whole year. It's $11 for a year.

If you want to roll all the fees into a one night stand sure, it's $50.00 per night. But if you want to roll it into a 2 week stay, it's $31.50 per night. Let's be a little honest here and tell the whole story, not the glorified "on my high horse" story.
