Learned something new about camping....
Staying the weekend at Hoffmaster SP near Muskegon. Picked a nice enough site, in the dark of coarse. Parking under an Oak tree is a noisy affair with an aluminum roof. It's so quiet here from the ...

Gordon Three,
Which site were you on at Hoffmaster SP??? We have been RV camping there a couple times a year for over 45 years now and on all 4 loops. About 300 total sites. We have many of our family and extended family camping weekends/get togethers there from May until Halloween as it's only about 10 miles from our homes and it's such a gorgeous huge (1200 acre) forested/sanduned park right on Lake Michigan with so much to do always. Before it became a Michigan State Park (about 40 years ago, the north end of Hoffmaster was Norton Township Park and had camping also.
Neither my wife nor I remember having hardly any acorns or things hitting the RV's roof other than some occasional raindrops. Maybe a few twigs when windy. Last year, they'd cut down over 70 trees on the beach end of loop one alone (the big one across the creek bridge) as many had died and they didn't want to chance them falling on campers. Also thinned out several other areas in the other loops too of the dead trees or large limbs. The CG is in a very old forest area on the north end of the park with loop 2 & 3 being in tall pine woods. Maybe it was windy while you were there, perhaps? I'm just curious as we know the big park so well!
