Hello all. Planning a trip to Michigan. I have 2 + weeks. Leaving this weekend- and just going to enjoy the ride with no hurry to get anywhere! 29' Class C with a toad. I am spending 3 nights at Lake Hudson rec area in Southern Michigan- then ??? Would like ideas after that. Like quiet camps- near water would be awesome ( although I think there are tons of those in Michigan!). Thanks for any ideas you can share! - Kathy....'Just a girl and her dog Molly' :)

I just did a quick search on the Michigan state parks (we like state parks) for mid August (14-21)and I counted about 30 state parks that have some availability and I'm sure other dates may show similar results. Straits has some available, it one of our favorites as its right by the bridge and lots to do in the area, Fayette state park, Hartwick pines state park, these are some more of our favorites.

Don't get bummed, you can find something.

I am not familiar with Michigan at all. I do believe you can generally find somewhere to stay in the popular tourist areas.
However I also believe the premier spots book up fast and will generally be unavailable.
There are many like the OP that like to travel carefree without reservations and are OK with just having any site in the area and there are those that prefer the premier spots in the best locations and prefer to make reservations.
Simply a case of different strokes for different folks.
