“Crews have stayed busy removing bumpy and crumbling asphalt, digging shoulders out in preparation for widening roads and curves, digging several sites out in preparation of paving them and last but not least, BIG improvements to our dump station,” park staff said on Facebook.

The opening date for the campground has been pushed back to May 10 so all the work can be finished, the Michigan Department of Natural Resources said earlier this year.

The sanitation station updates will accommodate the larger RVs and camping trailers that now use the park.

Not Ideal – just an OK stay overnight
Most recent stay was 6/30/16 – I’m “late” in posting my review ~ We camp in a Little Rig “Tear Drop” style RV only 15′ long w/o toilet or shower ~ plus we like to eat outdoors using the picnic table and set up our dining canopy for sun and weather protection and thus rely on condition of campgrounds facilities and being nearby our site ~ so our critique is focused in that area.

We were close to restroom/shower building which were ok and typical of state park. No hooks or shelves for your stuff but shower stalls were separate private rooms accessed from outside separate door (unisex style) all tiled walls w/small bench but no rubber mats on floor (wear your clogs). Access to toilets and community sink area through separate door. Area was very messy and dirty – didn’t have hooks or shelves for your stuff – no paper towels for visitors use to clean up after themselves – only air dryer and probably reason for it being messy – not a pleasant experience . .

Park was very crowded during our stay; sites very close together/cramped very minimal privacy between sites not typical of state park. Gravel site pads fairly level asphalt interior roads.

Disclaimer: As I write this review it occurred to me that there might be 2 sections (old & new) and most likely we were in older section sites 117 thru 172 [Woodstock loop]? I Believe the Pine Loop Sites 001 thru 116 might be larger w/more privacy not squeezed and restroom/showers were more modern.
