Guess I am surprised a little. I've always had great experiences camping at state parks and I assumed Ludington would be similar. Sooooo I would take the advice of those above since I've never camped at that particular park.

im only speaking for tent camping (which i do primitive camping so i dont need any amenities at all so for other needs the results may be different)
The huge secret around these West Michigan parts is Nordhouse Dunes. It's just north of Ludington, south of Manistee, and is a National Forest. It has free primitive camping throughout it's location and is still close to all the great disc golf in the area.
