when i was younger, my parents joined a camping club and i have been so many wonderful places! i've camped since i was 7 years old, and at one point i was like, 'i don't want to stay in the trailer...i want to sleep in a tent!' so they bought me my own tent and i was off!
too bad i can't remember the names of the places i've been! loL! crazy horse, koas, sleeping bear dunes, lotsa place up north....grrr...wish i could remember!

We used to go to a K.O.A. in Irish Hills when I was a kid.
Im a camping Junkie as well. I have "EVERYTHING" you need to rough it. We go to Mio and Mckinnly in Oscoda. We rough it on state land. I hate to pay and camp. If your close to any form of pavement your not camping. Where we go there is nothing, NOTHING AT ALL Well there usually between 7 and 12 drunk people a loud radio a BBQ and at night time theres a Bon Fire about 12 feet tall. Nobody tells us to slow down, to quiet down to turn the radio down, we hollar, scream, curse and bark at the moon with the radio turned up all the way the hole time.
We also canoe the Ausable River and go on a annual Bar Tour, we start at the
Mckinnly Scenic River wood tavern, then goto
The Mio Saloon, then to the
Bowling Alley, then to the
Wild Turkey Saloon, then back to the starting point.
If we have any steam left we'll sometimes venture into Glennie or Currie.
We are HARDCORE, JOURNEYMEN, PROFESSIONAL TUBERS AND CANOERS AUSABLE RULES
We start early, we tie the canoes together and never touch a oar, we bring a portable coleman gas grill, a radio man we have some good times on that river. Now I work week ends so I very rarely get to go up there with friends, Im going to try and rustle up some LSCNers for a trip up there.

Unfortunatly it will be under very short notice.

Some of the best times Ive ever had "EVER" were with my wife somewhere down M33.

i am going camping up at Interlochen (sp?) State Park this weekend. It is about 15 miles southwest of Traverse City.
From what I understand, there are two types of campgrounds there. They have the tradional state park "loops", you know the onese with the electrical hook ups, showers, running water etc, and then they have what they call "rustic" camp sites, which does not have the ammenities. I think we are doing the "rustic" camp site. I have never been there, and I have never even really heard of the place, a friends friend set it up and I am going for the ride and plan on killing mucho brewhas....I'll let you know how it is....

Campgrounds are boring, lame to many rules. CBJ needs a little space to vent. Vent???? in more ways then one.

I still love the size of that bonfire waiting to be lit behind Zeeb there. That thing was impressive!

Try Isle Royale National Park in Lake Superior. You have to take a ferry there....everything you need you have to carry on your back, no showers/toilets (a few outhouses). Spent 9 days on the island before and stared face to face witha bull moose from 10 feet away, had my dinner stolen by a fox, my reel spooled by some crazy trout and had to deal with two possible hypothermia cases....famous quote of the week: "Ladies now get naked, get in the sleeping bag together and start generating body heat"
Stayed at numerous State Parks...Burt Lake is one of my favorites. Awesome smallmouth fishing.
There is another real rustic one on the pinky of the mitten. I think its called Fishermans State Park, four wheel drive is required to get in there.
CBJ, you should try the UP on some of the Mead Paper land. Free to camp, no one around for MILES but you have to check with Mead to fisnd where they are not working clearing trees. Lots of moose up there and even a few wolves.

Man the memories are starting to pop in there, I got to get out of here before I waste the hole day. Snow Flake, if you and the boss wanna join us for a trip up there that would be great.
Keep that in mind I got to go. See you all later.

Hey Mirth, try these.
Burt Lake State Park on Burt Lake
Aloha State Park on Mullet Lake
Petosky State Park on Little Traverse Bay
Higgin's Lake State Park North
Higgin's Lake State Park South
There's also a State Forest Campground (rustic) on the north shore of Houghton Lake but I can't remember the name.
I'll try to come up with a few other suggestions.
