Ludington is nice, so is Manistee, Muskegon, Grand Haven, Holland. All have state parks where you can camp and walk to the beach. It may be a little cosy but there are only so many spots and lots of demand. I like Frankfort/Alberta myself but I live in GH so I like to drive 100 miles to get away. About 50 miles inland is the vast Manistee national forest lots of nice State and federal campgrounds, most are on a lake or river. The up is the up when I go up I hit Oswalds Bear Ranch, Fayett State Park (old coal smelting town), pictured rocks, the locks, big spring, many more. Bring bug spray. Mi is great this time of year cool nights, warm days, not hot, miles of shorline, lighthouses etc. I think you never more than 5 miles from a lake or stream. Come on up we need the $.
