Suggestions for good camping spots in Michigan

Try Orchard beach State park and Mitchell state park. Both have great sites and a lot to do.

If you like the sunset side of the state, Oak Grove in Holland is a great place and offers full hook ups. About a 5 minute bike ride to Holland State Park and Lake Michigan.

Oak Grove

I prefer state parks (my husband not so much).
Ludington, Tawas, Silver Lake (not necessarily the state park campground) are my favorites. We didn't care for Traverse City at all.
UP is ok but not my favorite by far and in the time it takes me too get there, I can be in Kentucky. I'd rather go to Kentucky. ;)

Van Buren S.P.
Ludington S.P.
Youngs S.P
Tawas Point S.P.
Harrisville S.P.
South Higgins S.P.
Algonac S.P (for the view of the lake freighters)
Yankee Springs

We've been to a lot of state parks in Michigan, in fact, we only camp at state parks. The above parks are just a few of our favorite on the water. It depends on where you're at in Michigan.

Check out the Michigan tourist website, www.Michigan.org - there is a campground search feature. You can also go to google maps - bring Michigan up and then in the search box, type in campgrounds and rv parks near and put a city. You can then click on them and many have a link to the campground website. If you want a state park - you better get your reservations in.

We are also interested in things to do nearby. All of the above activities sound like things we would enjoy doing. We are also interested in a nice place to just hang out with a nice view and walking distance to lakes or rivers. I am familier with many of the areas in northern Michigan but not nessacerily where to stay. Some areas of intrest are torch lake, southern Michigan lake shore and up in the petosky/traverse city area to name a few.

Sorry if my ask was vague, we are really just looking for suggestions of what others enjoy and where it is recommended to stay. Thanks

Not sure what you are looking for. If you just want to spend a week on the beach, just about any beach will do depending on whether you wanted to see the sun rise or sunset. For us, we pick camping spots by what else is in the area. For instance, we go canoeing/kayaking, hiking, biking, museums, searching for Petoskey stones, light house tours, bear ranches, water fall tours, old historical sights, grist mills, ghost towns, forts, ice cream shops, etc., etc., etc. So I guess if we knew a little more about what you wanted to do and see, it would be easier to suggest something. I can tell you this in general, most of my personal best spots in Michigan are in the UP. but that is a big area and still you need to know what you want, before I can suggest what you might like.
Just one more piece of information I'd like to share with you. You are no supposed to post the same topic on more than one forum.
