Northern Michigan and UP parks

[sdeasy]

We are particularly interested in campgrounds in reasonable distance to Detroit area as we want to see the Ford Museum and also near Traverse City, where we have friends.

 

A nice place to stay that isn't far from Greenfield Village and the Ford Museum is the Wayne County Fair Grounds in Bellville. You don't need a reservation but check their web site or call to make sure there isn't a major event when you will be there. http://www.waynecountyfairgrounds.net/Camping.html

 

I think others have said this but the Traverse Bay area is expensive. Any of the state parks in that area will likely be full. We will be in Michigan in August and early September. We have reservations at Wells State Park (west of Escanaba). One of my favorite parks.
