Michigan -(Ammoland.com)- Although winter feels like it has just started, the Michigan Department of Natural Resources wants to remind visitors they can make camping reservations in select state parks during this year’s Fireworks-Free* Fourth of July.

Camping reservations can be made up to six months in advance, and summer is just around the corner.

For the second year in a row, the DNR and the Michigan Veterans Affairs Agency have collaborated to offer alternative camping options for those veterans and other visitors, including pet owners, seeking a quieter holiday. These select campgrounds are located farther away from traditional community firework displays.

“We are pleased to help honor our veterans by offering alternative camping options in several of our beautiful state parks,” said DNR Parks and Recreation Division Chief Ron Olson. “This is an alternative for anyone seeking a quieter Fourth of July celebration.”
