Leaving for several weeks in Michigan after Labor Day. We will be traveling the "thumb"/Lake Huron side across to Traverse City, maybe up to to Sault Saint Marie, then down the west coast. We really like State/Fed. Parks or smaller private campgrounds....no need for the frills of CG features or activities. We are flexible so we can divert to other areas. Any suggestions of CG, attractions, towns, or places to eat would be appreciated. I have done a lot of research but others experiences are often great resources.
Thanks |

My wife and I traveled Michigan in May of last year. We entered from Indiana, drove up the Lake Huron coast, then stopped in Saginaw. Saginaw Valley State University is home to the Marshall Fredericks Sculpture Museum, we loved it and it's free. Further up we went to Mackinaw City and took the ferry to Mackinac Island. You have to leave the RV on the mainland, Mackinac has never allowed cars, even the taxi cabs are horse drawn. When the winds subsided we crossed the bridge to the upper peninsula which is beautiful.
We found Michigan to be pretty, but the highways need a little maintenance, no, a lot of maintenance.
In Elkhart Indiana, just south of the Michigan state line we visited the RV Hall of Fame, very interesting!
We can't recommend campgrounds because we never stayed in any in Michigan, we almost always use retailers.
Have a great trip, we can't wait to get back on the road.

Thanks for your reply, we will look into the Sculpture Museum, I hadn't seen that in our books and brochures. We have been twice to the RV Museum, we would go again if in the area....loved it. We have been on the western side as far up as Grand Haven but not much else. We leave on Tuesday....can't wait.
