I'm guessing they will have to add more stations at some state parks? Some have checkpoints just for the campgrounds (example Yankee Springs) some the last checkpoint gets you into the campgrounds and day use areas like Ludington state park.

Do you go into the office and ask to do a drive thru?
Seriously, been going to Michigan State Parks for close to 50yrs and they've always checked your site tag (not just the state park sticker) to get in.
I wouldn't be surprised if you asked to do a quick drive thru to check it out and it's not too busy, they would let you but it has always been policed and just not a big issue.

When did they start letting anyone in?
Been camping in Michigan State Parks for decades and you needed both the state park sticker and the campsite tag on your rearview mirror.
No real cost/effort as you typically have to drive by the registration station and stop until they wave you thru.
Are you possibly thinking of some of the more remote parks?

I will admit to being one of those that like to check out a campground when I am in an area that I am visiting. I always stop by the office and ask If we can take a look, even at the state parks. There is no day use fee for state parks here in TN so anyone can come in and use them. I have not found it to be too big a problem when I have been camping anywhere we have gone. The bigger problem for me is people who cant drive slowly in the campground.

The looky loo's are just envious. In a way the extra traffic may be an additional unintended security force. Extra eyes etc. A thief will get in regardless.
I can only speak for east coast state parks for now but PA, MD, VA, NC, SC, and FL have only signs about camp ground entrance. If you pay your entry fee it's all wide open from there.
