South Carolina to UP of Michigan trip this Sept/Oct

We are planning a three week trip from South Carolina to the UP of Michigan at the end of September into October. We plan on going into Canada at Sault Ste. Marie for a couple days then back south over to Green Bay and up to Washington Island before heading back south. Research shows plenty of camp grounds. We hope to catch the color foliage just right and hope to find space at the many camp grounds as we not going to make any reservations in advance.

I welcome any advice on camp grounds, attractions and the crossing into Canada. My wife and I will be traveling in our 30" MH. Thanks!

    Couple years ago we did similar trip, didn't go into Canada, started Sept 17 ending on Oct 6. Saw some color, but mostly I think we were about a week too early. Also didn't make any reservations and had no problem finding campgrounds.
    Many things to do, don't know how to send you my iternery that I saved.

    attractions: Elkhart-RV Hall of Fame
    went up west side of MI-South Haven, Silver Lake Dunes, Sleeping Bear Dunes Nat Lakeshore
    over to Mackinaw City-Mackinac Island
    to Sault Ste Marie-watching boats/ships on Lake Michigan/Lake Huron, Soo Locks
    west to Tahquaminon Falls, Shipwreck Museum, Lake Superior, Pictured Rock Nat Lakeshore, Porcupine Mtns
    south to Door Peninsular, Wisconsin Dells, Duck boatride
