Camper reviews for Sterling State Park
Another great Michigan State Park
Huge beach, well spaced sites, surrounded by a marsh -- what's not to like!!
The bike trail is several miles around the marsh and would be great if the asphalt wasn't all bumpy from tree roots.
Good access to the Raisin River National Battlefield Park. I learned a lot about the War of 1812.
