    Never been there myself, but by the looks of it (as much as you can tell) from the satellite map, all those pull thru's look fine. I did note there is a split-rail fence along the road that runs the waterline with a bit of a slope down to the water. None of the satellite pics show any boats moored along the campground, so I suspect either the shoreline is not conducive to beaching a boat, or it isn't allowed. That, along with having an end site with awning facing the south, docks, and the boat launch close were all reasons for my choice. Since we are going to camp for the week, having plenty of room to set up the canopy with a view will also be sweet. We'll have to call long distance in order to get in touch with you waaaayyyy down there.

    If you haven't already seen, Newaygo Co. Parks has this photo gallery of Sandy Beach...

    Not a bad price. Same for the annual for the metroparks.

    Hey Yd: It's not that far down there is it? I hope we could keep our boat in front of our site? That would be great.

    There are a number of boat docks by the launch, as well as on the north end of the campground.
    Ill call tomorrow and find out what it takes to use them, and how they feel about beaching.
    Here fishy, fishy, fishy...

    Larry,

    The weekend before is a graduation party for my neice. I believe my parents will be headed to the UP the week we are going to Camp. In fact, I might leave directly from Crappie camp and head to the UP myself for a week or so. That is the main reason I was just going to get a cabin for the weekend for my daughter and I. I don't have a problem tent camping, just didn't want to have to bring that gear and then tote it to the UP with me when I know I will not use it.
    I have OCD "Obsessive Crappie Disorder"
