I know what you mean. The MI state parks are definitely more geared to the social camper. While I tend to prefer a more private setting, these "open lawns" are still nice.
I seem to recall a few nicely-treed, somewhat private campsites in McLain SP. Heading north up the 1-way loop, there were some near the end of the loop before turning left and returning back south. McLain is right on the big lake. If you go, be sure to drive up the western side of that peninsula for some great scenery.
