Michigan Destinations

In the beginning stages of planning a Summer 2019 tour of some destinations in Michigan with another couple. We travel with a 30 ft 5th wheel; our friends have a 30 ft travel trailer. We are traveling from Minnesota to the south shore of Lake Superior in Wisconsin, then on up to Copper Harbor, then to Munising (Pictured Rocks National Lakeshore), then to Mackinaw City (Mackinac Island); and finally to Sleeping Bear Dunes National Lakeshore.

Not sure on time frame, more than likely late July/early August.

Looking for recommendations for campgrounds/RV parks we should consider. Electricity would be a minimum requirement. Full hook-ups would be a welcome luxury.

Thanks.

    Musnising Tourist park obviously in Munising is nothing special but has incredible views of lake Superior and Grand Island. A lot of people seem to like Mackinaw Mill in Mackinaw city, but it's a bit to large and crowded for us. We prefer the Straits state park (sites 4-5 have the best bridge views) on the other side of the bridge in St. Ignace which also will bring you to Mackinaw Island. Platte River Campground by Sleeping Bear Dunes is popular so plan ahead on that one.
