bronco91shee Posted June 26, 2008 Report Posted June 26, 2008 not that i disagree these guys got treated like shit.......cuz thats just stupid to treat customers like that. but after being up there so many years and knowing so many of the ppl that run that town, they are trying to make all of the campgrounds alil more up scale and family oriented. it basically comes down to money... if you get families to stay, thats more money every weekend as compared to one or 2 guys taking up a site. also they are tryin to get rid of the weekend warriors, because those people make it up 1 or 2 times a year, and when they do they are there to party, and do what they want. which usually leads to issues. the owners would rather have that same cute family come up every weekend and give them a bunch of money and no issues. they kids do all of the activies and the parents are willing to pay more for the kids ot have something to do. plus alot of the familys that get up there lately have these huge trailers and whatnot...not afraid to spend some money. hence why some of the places have limits as to how small of motorhome/ trailer you can have to even enter it all comes down to greed...suppy and demad.. there are rich people willing to spend the money weekenc after weekend....and if the owners want, they choose to cater to these ppl the most, leaving the rest hanging out to dry. its gay...but thats buisness..... my family was a seasonal at yogi for the first 8 years of my life. then for the next 8years we went to sandy shores. which in my opinon, is the best up there. but we got sick of getting 2 sites to park our 3 trucks and trailers. we got lucky enough to buy a place right there in town, which is now a stopping point for all of our freinds all in all the camping up there has been getting worse for years......cuz its all about how to make more moeny...bottom line Quote
87sheerips Posted June 26, 2008 Report Posted June 26, 2008 That blows soooooo bad. I went about a month ago, we were the only ones there. They were in the middle of getting new owners, I had a feeling it was going to tighten up but GODDAMN! They ruined the whole atmosphere of the dunes for me, I used to love that campsite.... Ohh well time to find a new place I guess! Quote

badassbanshee479 Posted July 2, 2008 Author Report Posted July 2, 2008 Hey guys.. we gotta get a campground figured out for our labor day trip.. Any ideas????? Guys over on great lakes told me about some state land down passed west mi sand drag way that you can camp on for free and its not patrolled so we could get party down all night if we wanted to. It would be ruffing it(well for some of us!) but I think it would be fun! Quote
shanYE west Posted July 2, 2008 Report Posted July 2, 2008 (edited) I can dig that.. I'll check it out on my next trip to the dunes.. Or maybe someone could check it out if their headin over for the 4th and let us know.. I gotta make sure my hauler can fit! lol Edited July 2, 2008 by Fouledout421 Quote

It would be ruffing it(well for some of us!) but I think it would be fun! whoever told you that doesnt know what there talking about. Ive camped there twice now and both times have gotten kicked out by the forest service. But both times there was dumbass's out there tearing shit up in there trucks all night, so maybe that had an effect on it..maybe not Quote
