The Yogi Bear in Frankenmuth has VERY small sites and you're only allowed to have a fire if you bring your own fire pit. Pay for the deluxe site or your slide will nearly touch your neighbors awning. The pool is indoors so that's ideal for early spring/fall or when it's raining. We plan to go back again, paying for the larger sites.
Camp Dearborn does not allow dogs at all.
Highland rec is only for rustic camping. No campers at all.
Brighton rec was beautiful and we enjoyed it a great deal.......until I found a tick on my 7 year old son. A local fisherman said that there are lots of ticks in the area. Then, I found one in the camper. It must have come off of someone's clothes. I had to bomb the entire camper and refuse to go back!
Tawas Point state park is pretty nice. It's on Lake Huron and you have the option to swim in either the calm bay or the open water with bigger waves. Some sites are right on the bay side, you just have to walk through the a tree line to get there. They also have a dog beach. The town is nice also.
I've heard that Port Crescent is really nice. It's at the tip of the thumb on Lake Huron. We have not been there yet.
