Michigan State Parks
We had reservations for 3 nights we get to the park before 6 pm no one in the office. We had to register by phone with someone not even in Michigan. Then we could not buy any firewood because no one was in the office. We put up our tent on a slopped lot that was suppose to be level. The night was miserable the noise from loud boats, cars on the highway and cars and trucks on I 75 made us rise early pack up the tent cancel the next two nights and go back to Indiana. We had just spent 4 glorious nights in Wisconsin sorry this park was a huge disappointment. The only good thing nice restrooms. 
We first came to Otsego Lake State Park almost 30 years ago. The park is lovely, the lake is beautiful and clean, the campsites are roomy, there is a wonderful bluff overlooking Otsego Lake at the north end of the park, and nearby Gaylord offers all the benefits of a small city. We love Otsego Lake State Park and always look forward to camping there. this park is so totaly awesome!!!! My in-laws and family have been going to Otsego since my mother-in-law was a little girl. Now, my husband and I have been gooing since we started dating, married and had a family, over 30 years. We love it there. Now our kids are going. They come up when were camping. We love everyting about the campground. The Rangers are friendly, the bathrooms are kept clean, the park is just awesome. We have traveled from one state park in Mi. to another for almost 25 yrs. Otsego State Park is excellent. With the additions of the boardwalks close to the beach from the camping sites, is definitely a plus. It is close to Gaylord, Mi. (less than 10 minutes) to shop at WalMart, other grocery stores, movies, eating out. The lake that the park sits by is filled with great fishing, and swimming is also popular from the nice beach area/store. There are not many drivetru sites, but the sites are not small, and many are facing the water from the bluff. I highly recommend this park!!
