best camping places michigan image

Me and my boyfriend would like to go to Michigan but we are not sure the best location. We plan on going sometime this June or July. Anybody have any good ideas?
We love the outdoor and the water. We want a something on the romantic side but also fun. Also any good festivals around that time?
Answer
What do you like? What are your interests? Mackinaw is fun, but you're talking high season then, especially in July. Traverse City is the same - and Cherry Festival is the first full week of July, or thereabouts, so the hotels and motels are probably all booked up already then. Saugatuck can be fun. Frankenmuth is interesting, but I don't think there's enough there to take a week to see it all. The Les Cheneaux islands in the UP have places to rent, and great fishing, I'm told.
If you like camping, we have lots of state parks. If you can get reservations, you could stay at 2-e parks for a few days each, and see several areas. If you like biking, there are a lot of trails, like the White Pine Trail, Kal-Haven trail, and Hart-Montague trail that are great rides.
I'd suggest you update your question with more details about what you might want to do or not do, and also go to Michigan.gov and see what they have for tourism resources.
edit - again - go to the michigan.gov website, and see what you can find. The link below will start you at the travel and tourism page. There's an e-newsletter you can sign up for that will get you monthly ideas of places to visit, including a list of festivals.
If you like the water, I'd suggest you go to Mackinaw City. There are lots of hotels there, from mom and pop places to the big chains, so you should still find some place to stay if you start calling now. Try the travelocity and other hotel sites for better prices. You can use Mackinaw as a base to explore Mackinac Island, the UP, and the northern lower peninsula, too. Try going down to around Wolverine, MI to rent a canoe and paddle the Sturgeon River. Or go up to Les Cheneaux Islands, and take the kayaking tours offered there. Go down to Traverse City, and explore there. Take the ferry over to the island, and rent bikes on Mackinac Island. You can ride the perimeter of the island, and shop in town. One caution - there are no cars allowed on the island except for a few emergency vehicles, so most travel is done by bikes and horse-drawn buggies. Watch your step, or you can be hit by a bike, or step in something you would rather avoid.

Where is a good place to camp in South West Michigan?
Edward M
I'm looking for a great place to camp in South West Michigan between South Haven and Michigan City on or near Lake Michigan. I really don't want one of those trailer park/camp grounds with a million other people. We're looking for a place where we can be left alone and have fun in nature.
Answer
There is a great camp called Covert Township park located in Covert, MI about 15 minutes south of South Haven, mi on Blue Stary Highway.
It is a family friendly camp and is located right on Lake Michigan. I
My family has been camping there for many years.
