The U.P. is a big place. You have any idea where you plan to camp?
In the western end we like Ontonagon Township park on the north side of Ontonagon. It's right on the water and not too far from the Porcupine Mountains State Park. Fort Wilkins State Park up in Copper Harbor is nice.
Here's a nice private campground about 40 miles west of Marquette.

Check out the Munising area where you'll find lots of waterfalls and Pictured Rocks National Lakeshore. Just a bit further east is the small village of Grand Marais where you'll find an excellent campground called Woodland Park.
As I said. Just use the park review site above and scroll through the cities listed for local campgrounds and parks. I find it very helpful when checking out a new area.
