Beautiful Miscommunication

We stayed at the Organizational Campground which is a very large group site made for 30-100 people located just before the entrance of the park. The staff gave us lots of conflicting information. Apparently we were way under charged for the site, which unfortunately for them was in our favor, but we were also told it’s an extra $5 per person per day to use the showers, which are located within the park. This was not made known until we went to use the showers. There were other conflicting bits of Information as well. Very unprofessional and awkward.

However, we basically had a “private” beach with sand dunes, lots of shoreline on Lake Michigan, and a short kayak trip out reveals the Mackinac Bridge! We saw bald eagles, various birds, and experienced swarms of mosquitos (no surprise there).

The group site had a working water well, and two non-flushable toilets, multiple fire pits and stationary barbecue grills. Beware! There are many mosquitos and poison ivy found on this site.
