Due to my (lack of) employment situation last summer, we made a big trip out of three little journeys. From Harrisville, we traveled across M-72 for a midweek visit to one of our favorite campgrounds, Yogi Bear's Jellystone Park- Grayling, located a few miles southeast of Grayling itself. Having seen that the new owners had made some nice changes in 2006, we were anxious to see what was new in 2007. The most obvious change was the addition of a giant bounce pillow, which our kids just had a blast on. Because we were there on off-peak days, there was never any problem with getting in some bounce time. Another cool addition, that we just missed out on, was a fire truck to take 'wagon' rides on. Something to look forward to, I guess.
The biggest complaint we have continues to be the condition of 4 Mile Road, which never changes from year-to-year. Although we were told that the road eventually will be paved should the planned amusement park get built, I'm guessing that is still years off. And if/when that amusement park does become reality, this campground will change from being a relatively quiet, out of the way place that's great for kids to a hustling, bustling activity center. Still a good thing, just different.
As I sit here and enter this review of last summer, I'm already starting to look forward to another journey to go see Yogi in Grayling and enjoy an ice cream while watching the evening cartoons. The next improvement I'd like? wireless Internet, of course!
