We stayed at the Oak Beach County Park in Port Austin with my parents for a week of camping. Our preferred campground, Caseville County Park, we later learned fills up almost from the moment the registration period begins on January 2nd. For more information on our park, and how our trip went, please read the Diary here.

We rode to the Caseville County Park to check it out, as well as get some information about trying to reserve a site. While we were there we let the kids go for a swim.
