Weekend at a "dry" campground
What a difference it makes staying at a "dry" campground.
P J Hoffmasters park in Muskegon, big NO ALCOHOL signs everywhere, I was kind of impressed. I didn't notice them when I stayed a few years back. They also had Michigan's new for '18 NO FIREWOOD ALLOWED signs up at the entrance, and an armed DNR police checking vehicles and warning people for next year. Hopefully concertina wire and K-9 units will be the next upgrade.
There were still many nightly campfires, but the campers, rather than sit around the fires drinking and whooping it up all night instead went for walks, and mostly went to bed or at least inside a few hours after dark.
It was eerily quiet despite being a sold out campground.
Are dry campgrounds something new, something old, or just something odd?
