Michigan has a list of twenty-three State Parks, in each of which provision is made for the comfort of motor campers.

The Conservation Department opens Michigan’s State Parks to all, whether residents or non-residents of the State.

Campers are permitted to fish in adjacent waters in accordance with the law, and to make use of any of the conveniences, such as outdoor fireplaces, tables, benches and pavilions, when not in use by other visitors.

Non-residents may secure fishing licenses from care-takers.

Campers are permitted to use the dead wood or driftwood for fireplaces.

Tourists are permitted to camp for less than one [248]week without a permit, but for a longer period a permit must be secured from the custodian of each park.

Automobiles may be parked in spaces provided in each site.

The public bath houses are for the use of visitors as well as the rowboats which may be rented in those parks having boating facilities.
