Depending on whether the OP will be working on the east side or the west side of US-131 between GR and Kalamazoo may render one of the many CG's on either side even 25 miles away.
For the OP,
It's much cooler in the summer near Lake Michigan by 5 to 15 degrees normally than the US-131 area. So much so that A/C is seldom needed or used along Lake Michigan as the cooled air from crossing the 100 mile wide cooler than the air water creates natural A/C and always a breeze. Nothing to stop the natural air flow over the water. Being from South Carolina he knows how important that is!
We live on the lakeshore and have for 73 years and won't move away as we haven't even turned on our A/C once in the last 10+ years as open windows is perfect and so quiet. Don't know if it still works and don't care! The normal daily temps in summer near (10 miles or so) the Lake Michigan Shoreline averages 80 and sunny for a high and 60 for a low and a lot less humid that inland. What more could you ask but the CG sites reserve very fast and most are already gone.
