RFOneWatt is correct. You must be minium one mile from a state park or state forest campground.
The interesting thing is a couple of weeks ago when my son and I were campeing in these pics on the Muskegon river two other campers were present but they did not have a permit and I never spotted a ranger checking things out. I would suggest you get the permits by calling the Michigan DNR and they will mail you as many as you request in reason of course.
Go to the DNR on line and look up maps for state forest lands broken down by county then go on google and check the spots out. I have found many and when I am up there camping I will drive around to the locations which I think might work. I can't afford to get caught down some one track narrow road with no way out and 35' of rig waiting to go somewhere. If you need more info email me with questions. Enjoy camping!!!
