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.

Almost a complete guide.

A good source for Michigan State and National parks. Good narratives and directions. However, park maps are small with no camping spot numbers marked, this is essential information when making reservations over the phone. If this info were included with the book... a solid 5 stars.

Complete, Maybe for State Parks

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.

Michigan camper's "bible"

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!

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.
