Charles Mears State Park

Monday – Friday, June 19-23, 2017


We continue our tour of Michigan with our stay at the Charles Mears State Park in Pentwater, MI, located right on Lake Michigan.  The park is nice but crowded.  It’s an interesting place because it seems like it’s a park where people come back year after year and build relationships with others that do the same.  While here we took drives to other parks nearby and took a couple of hikes.  

The state parks in MI have a day-use fee on top of the camping fee.  The non-resident daily rate is $9 and an annual pass is $32.  Well, given the amount of days we plan on spending in Michigan State Parks it's a no brainer....we bought the annual pass.  Moving forward we will visit many parks (some which will just be for the day, others overnight) along our journey making the pass very cost effective...
