    RV Campgrounds with Lake Michigan views

    We are planning a trip to The Great lakes area.
    I would love to find a good Full Service Resort / Campground
    with views of Lake Michigan. I have always been in awe of
    how a body of water that large can be freshwater. We would plan
    to stay for several weeks. Will schedule around the weather and
    Covid.

    Thanks for any suggestions.

    It depends on where you are going in Michigan. Manistique Lakeshore Campgrounds in the upper peninsula has sites that back up to the lake. The back of our trailer had spray on it last week when we were there.

    Location within Michigan doesn't matter to us.
    My goal is to spend a couple of weeks looking at the lake and touring the neighboring area.
    The campground you mention sounds perfect. I have looked online at a lot of Michigan area
    campgrounds but always prefer opinions of folks like you who have been there.
    I will ck out Manistique and I appreciate the recommendation.
    Thanks:

    Can't help with Michigan, but you may want to consider the Lake Superior north shore. From Duluth all the way up to the Canadian border. Several really nice city run campgrounds. Many state parks, although they don't have lakefront. But are great for day trips from where ever you park. Lots of nice restaurants, breweries scattered on the way. Bike paths, sights to see, and not far from Duluth for a day trip too, if you want to get in a little more city sight seeing, also. (If you don't go too far toward Canada!)

    Wilderness State Park has sites that back up to Lake Michigan, just west of Mackinaw City.
    Next week will be our 3rd year camping there in early October (1st year with the Momentum)

    Thanks, another good possibility.
    The DW attended college on Mackinaw island (a long time ago)
    and she would like to see that part of the world again.
    I understand that Mackinaw College no long exists.
    I appreciate your suggestion.

    I live in West Michigan, there are several Michigan state parks on the Lakeshore but lack full service. Holland state park, Grand Haven state park and Ludington state park are a few. Go to Michigan State Parks website to reserve because they are very popular.

    If you can dry camp and live without internet and phones Fishermans Island State park has a few hard to come by sites right on the lake with your own little beachfront. Have to also agree about Lk Sperior.. the sunsets overlooking both Lk Superior and Michigan are awesome.

    Thanks to everyone for your help.
    We hope to make the trip in 2021 probably May or September
    dependent upon Covid.

    p.s. Marcy, Alice said to thank you for the awesome sunset pictures.
