If you're in the South Haven/Holland area you'll find the small towns of Saugatuck and Douglas worth a visit. There are plenty of small shops and arts related galleries there. We often stay at Van Buren State Park near South Haven and find it very good with a nice beach. A lot of people often fish from the piers in South Haven. There are also charters if you want to get out onto the big lake.
In the U.P. we like Brimley State Park west of Sault Ste Marie. The sites are grassy, there is a nice little beach where you can see lake freighters coming & going from the Soo Locks, and there is a small casino if you're into that. There are definitely sites large enough for your rig there.
In the U.P. I prefer the Lake Superior area over the Lake Michigan side, but the views along U.S.2 are very nice, especially where the beaches are. There isn't much down near Fayette SP, but it is pretty. If you really want to hike and sightsee you really need to get out to the west end and visit the Porcupine Mountains SP. Beautiful trails, waterfalls, rapid water fishing, etc. The Munising area is beautiful with plenty of waterfalls and short trails back into several.
