Holland State Park

We arrived here on July 25 for 2 nights.  We camped on the beach side where they do have some full hookups, but we were happy to get one with 30 amp electric only.  Our site was relatively level and there is a dump station and available water upon exit of the park.  The campground was totally on asphalt, but we had no difficulty navigating into our site as the sites were long enough for our 40 footer and they were 40 foot wide.  Enough room to park a second vehicle.  We paid $70 for 2 nights which included an $8 reservation fee.  We were not charged for our toad for day use.  There is a swimming beach across the dunes and opportunities for fishing across the campground.  There was one community fire pit in the park and they allow you to bring a portable fire pit to use in your own site.  No alcohol allowed in this park.  I rate this park F***.
We took a road trip through the city of Holland and visited the downtown area, the DeKlump Wooden Shoe Factory, Windmill Island Dutch Town, and I have included a picture of a huge home owned by one of the Amway family.  The shoe factory was quite interesting and they show you how they manufacture the shoes for free.  These wooded shoes seem to be reasonably priced from $39 to $49 for my size 10.  We did not pay to enter the Windmill Island Dutch Town which charges a $9 fee per person to enter.  The day use area is exceptionally busy and people we talked to came from up to






3 hours away to watch the ships come back off Lake Michigan and watch the sunsets.
