Got a few questions on the U.P.
OK, so I have tentative plans for a trip to the UP next summer, mid to the end of July. We want to check out Pictured Rocks and Grand Island. We will be staying at Munising Tourist Park Campground on ...

We did this trip this last September, and Pictured Rocks was the highlight of our trip. You MUST do the cruise, it was awesome and the best way to see the sights. We drove the length of the park, checking out the national campgrounds as well. I thought they were quite nice, but no facilities of course. We drove past the Tourist Campground you mentioned - I must I say I was less than impressed, but maybe that style "camping" is your thing.
Just note though, we found that the UP is a VERY remote area, moreso than we even expected. Everything is 20 miles apart, and there literally is nothing in between. Then there's a little burb, and then another 20 miles before the next blip on the map. If you want remote and relaxing, this trip is it. We enjoyed being off the grid immensely (literally. Our NF campground we stayed at in between Munising and Manistique had electricity, but we had no cell coverage whatsoever!). It was GREAT!
