We just returned from a 4th of July trip to Frankenmuth, MI. We stayed at the Jellystone Park and were very pleased with the campground. The facilities are very nice and well maintained. The restrooms were exceptionally cleaned as a result of the twice a day cleaning schedule. There were plenty of activities for the kids including evening movies. An indoor pool is part of the facility and was quite warm and eliminated the need to worry about sunscreen on the kids. The staff was very friendly and helpful.
The negatives were that the sites are rather small and screen houses are not allowed. Also, campfires are prohibited at your site due to a local ordinance. These are the only small complaints.
Frankenmuth is a quaint tourist town with a unique Bavarian background. Bronner's Christmas store claims to be the largest in the country and the covered bridge and Riverplace a scenic spots to spend some time.
Our 3023 worked wonderful for the family. The only issue we had was with the brakes. As we neared Frankenmuth the brakes on the trailer failed. I am not sure if the problem exists in the brake controller or on the trailer brakes themselves. I am suspicious based on "listening" for the electric magnets to engage when we were sitting still that the curb side brakes are not working. I am going to have to review the previous posts on checking/repairing the brakes. Unfortunately there is not a TM dealer nearby. Sorry for digressing.
Anyway....Jellystone Park in Frankenmuth is on our A-list of campgrounds.
