The Michigan Department of Natural Resources has announced a new program for the 2008 camping season that will offer campers the opportunity to save on fuel costs by temporarily storing their RV at specified state parks or recreation areas in-between their camping stays. Storage of the camping units will be free, but is limited to 15 days at a time. “We know that higher fuel prices may make it challenging for some of our campers to ‘GO-Get Outdoors’ often this summer to enjoy their favorite state park or recreation area campground,” said Ron Olson, chief of the DNR Parks and Recreation Division. “This program will allow campers to save approximately 30 percent on fuel by leaving their camping trailer, motorhome, or boat and trailer up north rather than driving it back and forth from home.” Campers wishing to take advantage of this offer will need to show proof of a recent (within one week) camping stay at a Michigan state park or recreation area campgrounds. For more information, call (517) 373-9900.
