State recreation areas around Eastwood use the Michigan DNR reservation system. Campsites, lodging and harbors can be reserved up to six months in advance, and shelters up to 12 months in advance, through the DNR reservation site or by phone. The rolling window means each day another day six months out becomes available for booking, and popular locations and dates can be booked within minutes of becoming available, so mark the six-month date for Fort Custer or Gun Lake weekends and log in early. A Recreation Passport is required for vehicle entry into all state park and forest campgrounds. Private parks including Outdoor Adventures Kalamazoo Resort, Sun Retreats Gun Lake, Michawana Campground, and Parkside Campground book directly through their own websites, often with shorter lead times than state sites.
