Sleeping Bear Dunes National Lakeshore

Please note the following:

• Effective January 1, 2006, Sleeping Bear Dunes National Lakeshore will increase fees for those limited number of campsites in the park that are available through the national reservation system. Fees for first come - first serve sites (non-reserved) will remain the same. The new camping fees reflect a $3.00 per night processing fee charged by the reservation contractor. The fee increase applies only to those campsites reserved through the national reservation system.
  
  
• At the present time, the contract for the national reservation system has not been awarded. The contract with the National Park Reservation Service (NPRS) has been extended through September, 2006. Contact the NPRS at 1-800-365-2267 or at http://reservations.nps.gov to make a reservation.
