Silver Lake Dunes August 5th-9th
Since it wont let me change the dates on the old thread I will make a new one.
Come for all of it or come for some of it. I will be there from 2:30pm on Wednesday Aug 5th through Aug 9th. I will be in a Non-Electric site and I will be making my reservations tomorrow (6-8-09). I will tell them we are a group from Ranger Forums. Just say you are with that group and they will put us all in the same area. The rates for the campground include one unit, 2 adults, and 2 vehicles. It is $7 per additional adult. If you wish to have 2 units per site they charge you for an additional Non-Electric site and wave the charge for additional adults. All other important info is listed below. __________________________________________________ __________________________________ Here's the info copied and edited from the previous thread: SILVERLAKESTATE PARK OFF-ROAD VEHICLE AREA 9679 W State Park Road Mears, Michigan 49436 Information: 231-873-3083 Hours May 16 - Labor Day it is open 9:00 a.m. - 10:00 p.m. Camping is at SILVER LAKE JELLYSTONE PARK SILVER LAKE JELLYSTONE PARK™ 8239 W. Hazel Rd. Silver Lake, MI 49436 Call (231) 873-4502 Costs! Camping Electric $36 Sun - Thurs $42 Fri - Sat Non-Electric $33 Sun - Thurs $37 Fri - Sat A few members are staying at Hotel due to bad backs, or GF that dont like camping or because they are women! The hotel is located across the street and down about a 1/8th of a mile from the camp ground. we are staying at: Silver Sands Resort Website: http://silversandsresort.net/ Rates: Weekends from $115 Sunday - Thursday: from $95 8446 W Hazel Rd Mears, MI 49436 Phone: 231-873-3769 State Park Entry An annual pass to all Michigan State Parks is $24; a daily pass is $6. Non resident are $29.00 per year and $8.00 per day. Senior annual passes for $6.00. An ORV pass for vehicles (also required for access) costs $16.25 and is good for a full year. Non-residents will also need a "Sportsmans Pass" which is $1 and is good for life. The ORV pass can be purchased with CASH only. The ORV pass and Flags are available at any gas station in town. State park permits must be purchased at the park. I would suggest cash because if there is no one at the gate you must purchase one from a ranger that is roaming the park. Orange Flags are $20 and MUST be mounted on the front of the truck. Mounts are available for under $20 from the same places that sell the flags. Go-Cart ridding so bring some extra cash to waste! LOL You are responsible for your own camp site. Responsible for your own FOOD!!!!! You need a flag, orv sticker, and state park pass to get into the dunes.... ORV sticker and State park can be bought at the Dunes. |
Wow those camping prices are ridiculous
|
thats not 37 a night is it? And when it says fri-sat do we have to leave on sat or sunday before noon or whatever?
|
yes it is $37 per night, hence why i got a hotel, it was like $30 more for a hotel, and i didnt have to bring a tent and camping stuff
|
Yeah bump that I'm going hotel too then
|
ya if i go again i think im gonna camp at a hotel lol
|
Yeah the camping prices are high but the only place cheaper is the state park and they are fully booked and they dont allow alcohol.
Personally I'll take the camping. $37 for camping is better then $70 a night for a hotel. Remember this is peak season, part of the reason its so expensive. The check out time is 1pm I believe. |
Heres the web site for the motel: Silver Sands Motel
Heres their rates: Summer: Weekends from $115 Sunday - Thursday: from $95 |

We should pitch a few tents and camp out!

To the Minnesota guys:
Im leaving St Paul at 3:30AM on Wed Aug 5th. I will be speeding through Wi, I want to get out of there as quick as possible (even though I will be moving there a month to the date after this). Last time it took exactly 11 hours both ways. If Ace is coming we will be making a stop on the south side of Chicago before we hit Indiana. Blhde said he maybe coming so we may make a stop in Rockford too. Hopefully we can get there at 2:30, have camp set by 4 and be on the dunes by 4:30! |
Sounds good. Whats your definition of "speeding"?

Oh and in Chicago the speed limit was 50...traffic was doing 70. I wouldn't try to do anything less then that or you will probably die.
