Campground Pic I'm not sure what that building does, but it's not an outhouse. Port Crescent State Park, near the tip of Michigan's thumb, on 8/25/2015. We remember this as a bad vacation, mostly because we didn't much like the campground and the weather was extremely windy and somewhat chilly for our entire stay. And we expected more hiking trails than we actually found. On the other hand, we found a couple decent restaurants and used the park as a base for exploring much of the thumb. 'Twasn't a total loss.
