5 out of 5 stars Michigan camper's "bible"   June 15, 2002
11 out of 11 found this review helpful

My family and I enjoy camping and visiting the State parks all over Michigan. I have found this book to be very accurate, and helpful. There are easy-to-read descriptions of the parks, and great maps included. Color photographs would have been a nice feature to the book, but the loads of information inside make up for it. I highly recommend this book!


5 out of 5 stars comprehensive michigan state park review   December 15, 1998

This book carefully explains each park, allowing for the advantages and disadvantages. I found it extremely helpful in planning our camping adventures in Michigan. I only wish Ohio's parks were as nice. This book is a must have for picking a place to camp anywhere in Michigan.


5 out of 5 stars 4th Edition Is Awesome   July 14, 2008

3 out of 3 found this review helpful

I have lived and camped in Michigan all my life and this is the best guide to Michigan State Parks that I have ever seen. (Referring to the 4th edition.) It provides an overview of the layout, facilities, and camping options for every State Park and National Park in Michigan. The overview for each park is admittedly not very long (usually only a couple of pages) but the book covers 106 different parks in 262 pages. The reviews generally include a maps and photos. Even though I've already been to many of the parks listed, I consider this an indispensable camping guide.

Contrary to some of the other Amazon reviews (which I assume were for earlier editions of the book) the 4th edition does cover the four National Parks in Michigan. Additionally, many (although not all) campground maps now include site numbers.



5 out of 5 stars Returning Customer!   December 5, 2009

I bought the latest edition having found the first to be spot-on in accuracy. Free of judgment yet very descriptive and informative. I enjoy exploring different campgrounds and returning to the ones I love. I have explored campgrounds not previously considered because of Tom's book. He does not disappoint. Read carefully to see if you are heading toward a busy beach or a quiet, out-of-the-way oasis.


4 out of 5 stars Complete, Maybe for State Parks   July 17, 2005

8 out of 9 found this review helpful

Overall, this is a pretty good book. It claims to be a "Complete Guide" - but there is very little coverage of National Parks in Michigan. None that I could think of, and that I wanted to research, were listed.

The coverage of the State parks is good, however, if you're looking for National Park coverage, you'll need to look elsewhere.
