Michigan is a big and varied state. You are asking a very broad question.
Knowing the interests of you and your family would help greatly.
Michigan has lots of great natural areas both in the U.P. and below the bridge.
But it also has a lot of human history as well, for example, the Henry Ford Museum in Dearborn. What interests your family?
You might start by picking several "hubs" that you want to camp in (SW, SE, NW, NE, E-UP, W-UP) and then use the internet and this forum to explore what's there that may interest you. Perhaps saying something like: "I'm going to spend a week in the Eastern UP - what suggestions do forum members have to see in that area?" And then a couple of weeks later, ask about another area you plan to visit. Much easier to respond to specific requests than for covering an entire state.
