LANSING, MI— It’s going to cost more to camp at Michigan state parks next month.
Starting August 1, the fees to stay at modern and semi-modern campsites will increase between $4 and $10 per night, depending on the location and available amenities. That amounts to $26 to $45 per night.
State park overnight lodging will range from $60 to $120 a night. Deluxe lodging will rise to $160 per night.
Modern lodges will undergo a phased rate increase over the next two years. That will result in a nightly base rate of $236 per night for all locations by 2027. Some rates may vary due to higher occupancy.
The DNR will also establish fees for intermittent camping and equipment storage.
It’s the first fee increase in three years. Officials say increased revenue will allow the state parks system to enhance visitor experiences across Michigan.
