Having lived in the U.P. I'd be more inclined to go in late August to mid-September. I've seen it snow in the western U.P. in mid-September. You can go later than that, but if you want decent weather go earlier than mid-September.
Also, the campgrounds won't be crowded in late August, although there will be more campers Labor Day weekend, but not to the point you can't find a campsite.
Good point. We were in the UP this year for the second week in July. It was 38* at night, we had our furnace on and wore gloves until it was too cold to sit by the fire. During the day, we encountered swarms of mosquitoes, more than I've ever seen in my life. Meh.
Bring warm clothes, late August-September should be a beautiful time to visit.
