DNR implements new reservation policy for Michigan state park campsites
Amber Ainsworth
A new campsite reservation policy beginning Wednesday will give more campers the chance to get a site at Michigan state parks, the Department of Natural Resources said.
Under the new structure, campers who cancel or modify a camping reservation will be charged a $10 fee, as well as a fee dependent on how long the reservation was held.
The fee will not apply to nights added to a reservation, and campsites can still be reserved up to six months in advance.
Reservations held up to two months:
10 percent of the nightly rate for each modified/canceled camp night.
Reservations held up to three months:
15 percent of the nightly rate for each modified/canceled camp night.
Reservations held between three and four months:
20 percent of the nightly rate for each modified/canceled camp night.
Reservations held between four and five months:
30 percent of the nightly rate for each modified/canceled camp night.
Reservations held longer than five months:
40 percent of the nightly rate for each modified/canceled camp night.
