July 2023, Nichols Lake National Forest South Campground, site 27

| Campsite 27 in Nichol's Lake South Campground |
Location and arrival
This campground is on the south side of Nichol's Lake, just west of M-37. The campground has 28 primitive campsites (that we saw). The reservation site says there are 29 campsites in this park, and the US Forest service website says there are 30. We only saw sites 1 -28. Some sites are available first come, first serve, and some can be reserved through the recreation.gov reservation site. We arrived on a Wednesday afternoon and more than half the sites were available. We could not choose an empty reservable site, however, because the host at this campground does not update the status like other national parks we have been to. Usually, the host has contact and posts signs on sites with upcoming reservation dates. If there is no reservation for the current night, then someone else can rent it. When we arrived, there were about 5 empty reservable sites with previous dates on the posts, and no upcoming dates. We were only staying one night, so I asked the host if it was okay to take once of the vacated sites that did not have an upcoming reservation tag on it. He said those sites can only be reserved. So, we moved down to campsite 27.
