Just wondering were some of the best Northern long term campgrounds are? We are considering staying in FL during the winter and someplace during the summer.

Holiday Park Campground in Traverse City, MI is rated in the top 100 campgrounds, nationally. It is a membership park with lots of visitors, many becoming members, after enjoying this secret gem for a few years.
Besides the member TTs and Fivers, no park models, there has recently been an influx of seasonal folks, who now take advantage of the long-term discount offered. You can leave your rig in storage all year and the Park will move it when you are ready to return. What more could you want?
I'll tell ya. How about a pristine lake with two boat launches containing walleye, large and smallmouth bass, and pan fishing second to none. Add three world class trout streams within 20 minutes, offering salmon and steelhead, besides brown, rainbow, and brook trout that almost jump in your creel. Besides the angling, some folks canoe, kayak, and tube these small rivers, using rental places that dot the area. Want to bike. How about riding on the T.A.R.T. trails or Betsie Pathway.
Lunch, we got lunch, dinner, and aperitifs to ape over. Want to cook your own stuff, Wally World, Meijers, etc., ten minutes away. Plus, nightlife galore, including Friday Nights downtown when Front Street closes for food and entertainment. Too chaotic for you? Grab a steak at Mode's Bum Steer, also nationally recognized. Or visit one of the many breweries right downtown. Makes me burp just thinking about them.
Festivals are us, too. How about the National Cherry Festival. Pies that Soupy Sales would never duck. Every other year the Blue Angels visit and practice for days right over our Park. Hot air balloon rides track over our lake and scare the******out of my dog, literally. Too outdoorsy? Stay inside and watch cable or facebook all day using wifi that is strong enough to remove rust.
The best thing about this place might be the people. Members and visitors are friendly, hey we're on vacation. Everybody seems to have a welcoming attitude towards others. Come for a visit and stay a while, no limit. The campground is open late April until late October, depending on the weather. Bring your golf clubs, dog, kick scooter, kayaks or in-line skate over a mile of paved roads, including our beautiful Park peninsula. Kids love it more than their I Pads.
See you soon.
