What's the dog policy?

Dogs are allowed in Nordhouse Dunes, but if you want to go down to Luddington State Park to check out the lighthouse they are not allowed there.
I'm sure Trixie the Wonderdog and maybe a few more will attend.

Our Laurel is 6 also. Got the weekend blocked off.

Does the camping are have everyone in close proximity or is it possible to be a just a little bit away from the rest of the group if need be?

There are tons of places to camp. You won't have a problem finding a secluded place for your tent.

Lots of sand! Be prepared to get sand all over everything! This is a GREAT area for kids.

Lily wants to say that she is 9 and her sister is 8. We are all looking forward to playing in the sand with Sass and Abby.

Kelly and I are bringing some friends of ours and their daughter. Mere hours of our friend Betty asking, "Where are the bathrooms?", just sent my wife a picture of her brand new porta-potty she bought for the trip! LOL!

There is something convenient about knowing you can let loose at any time.

Yeah and I know how it's going to end up. Me saying "I am NOT carrying that damn thing for you. If you want it, YOU carry it.". Then every morning after that second cup of jet fuel coffee and I'm getting the tingly tummy I'll be looking at her potty longingly wishing I had carried it for her.

Tell her it's a Wilderness area, porta potties aren't allowed. ;) There's always the campground down the beach....
