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...

We are Michigan residents and gladly pay the extra 10 bucks for a licence plate with the park pass for the year.
Ludington State Park is the closest state park to my house, about 80 miles. We never go there due to the smaller sites and crowds. My theory to get to a less crowded park in Michigan is to find one that is not easy to get to. Our favorites are always off the beaten path, are just as clean and nice as the bigger, more popular parks. The Lake Michigan parks are also more popular due to the sandy beaches and sun sets over the lake. The Huron side has some outstanding state parks (that we frequent), but the beaches are not as big and the Lake Huron will often have rocks along the shore.
