Plan on nasty weather! We left the UP after Labor Day (Spent the entire summer there) and by that time the North wind was brisk and very chilly!
Oh my! :) Not every year is the same. It can be absolutely beautiful.
X2. I used to live there and there were beautiful days after Labor Day.
In Escanaba - average high in Sept. 67 F. Average low in Sept. 49 F.
That sounds like good camping weather to me. Yes, there can be days that are cold and nights with frost, but that is true in many states in September. Fall is a great time to experience the U.P. Brilliant fall colors and bugs are long gone. If you camp right on Lake Superior with no trees between you and the lake and the wind is from the north, you can expect strong winds and colder temps, but camp a few miles inland and you will be just fine.
