Geeze, Detroit is over 180 miles from Lake Michigan and a whole different world. Much more like the Gary Indiana area and type of city. Don't forget about the nearly constant stench and very polluted air quality blowing eastward by the prevailing westerly winds from the steel mills, factories, and refineries as the largest oil refinery in the Midwest is by Gary. The 3 times we've been to Indiana Dunes State Park you could hardly breath the smokey sinky air that hung like a fog. I could never suggest something like that to a fellow RV'er!
True that the special golden quartz sand doesn't totally end at the state line but there's very little in Indiana as compared to in Michigan. The geography books and encyclopedias say that 94% of the pure pristine golden singing sand is in the State Of Michigan. That leaves only 6% for all the surrounding states. Who said anything about the OP wanting to go 500 miles north to the Apostle Islands and it's NOT a Seashore as there is no salt water. It's: Apostle Islands National Lakeshore. Which has mainly stoney and rocky shores and layered rock cliffs as we've boated there several times and around most of the 22 islands.
Not disparaging any other state but when someone posts the "South end of Lake Michigan", that's Gary Indiana area and that location/area is not very nice at all nor safe and why try to defend the obvious?
It makes no difference to me at all where the OP goes but shouldn't he be given the truth and real facts so he can enjoy his camping/RV'ing experience per the little information he's given us?
BTW, Warren Dunes State Park is in the State of Michigan also a little south of Benton Harbor and St Joesph.
