Tawas Point State Park reservations and check-in
I had a difficult time choosing a site when I made our online reservation. There is only one photo of campsite 130 on the state website, and the photo does not show the entire site (further information below). We arrived around 11:00 AM, and check-in was very quick. The people camping on this site the day before us were packing up to leave, so we parked in the overflow lot near the office. We then walked back to get a better look at the site before we drove back to park.

Tawas Point State Park campsite 130
This is a fabulous campsite, and I would definitely choose it again. It is grassy, level, private, and the size is 50 x 50. The photo on the Michigan reservation site only shows the left half of site 130. In fact, the picnic table and fire pit on the left in their photo are on site 132.

Looking at the campground drawing before we arrived, it had been difficult to tell if campers on site 52 would be in our backyard/right behind us. Campsite 51 is actually closer to site 130 than 52. I have included a few labeled photos in this post, and there are more in the Facebook album.
