We just spent a week in MI and stayed at 5 state parks. We bought a season pass for out of state.
We found the MI state parks to be very nice and well kept, and reasonable in price. I used to live in Illinois and it is one of the few states that do not charge a fee to enter state parks.
I am fine wwith paying out of state fees. People who live in a state and pay taxes should pay less to visit their own parks than visitors from out of state.
Everyone has their own opinions, and the OP is welcomed to his, but we had a GREAT and affordable time visiting the beautiful Michigan state parks (and their national parks and national forests too!)
