I've been swimming in Lake Superior in July and have found it perfectly fine and I've also found it extremely cold. If it's a warm summer the water will generally be swimmable.
So have I, off of a large dock on Isle Royal (Boy Scouts). Jumping in took my breath away so bad it was hard to get back to the ladder !

If you're along the Lake Michigan shoreline you'll find the water great, especially after the 4th of July.
The area along US 2 west of St Ignace has some of the most beautiful pristine beach you will find anywhere in the world. They used to allow overnight "parking" in some areas along there, but I think they have stopped that. I don't think there are any campgrounds along Lake Michigan in that area.
One place I want to check out is Brevort Lake. There is camping there.
