Where to camp on Michigan rivers ?
Does anyone know where I could camp along a river with a 27ft TT. In the past I've always camped in a van with a tent and could go anywhere I wanted. This trailer seems to big to drive down two tracks...

brebar,
Here are the lists I made again. However the lists haven't been updated in over 3 years now so there may be more or some changes. Sorry it took a while to find them again as I have 6 puters I use here at home and had to do some searching.
