| Campsite number 86 |
We decided to stay at Fort Custer State Park for a couple of nights. We were met at the park entrance by a Park Ranger who told us what we needed to know to find a campsite. The campground was busier than I expected but we found a site we liked. We then went back to pay our fees. There is an out of state resident car tag required along with a daily fee to drive into the park and of course the campsite fee. We also bought two $5 bundles of wood so we could have a fire and get the full camping experience. We went back to our campsite ready to settle in, start a fire and cook the steaks we brought for our first night. There was just one problem. Having done most all of my camping in Missouri State Parks where the fire enclosures include a hinged grill I never considered it would be different in Michigan, but it is. We got back in the truck and headed to the nearest Wal-Mart, about 30 minutes away in Kalamazoo, to look for a grill. A grill in hand we went back to camp. The lost time meant we were eating in the dark.
