    Shoreline Camping in Michigan

    Whats up Y'all. I'm wanting to go visit a friend in Michigan and we want to go camping near a shoreline. We will travel as far as we need to so location is not much of a concern. I don't see myself going back to Mi. anytime soon so I'd love to get some bang for my drive (from Mississippi). Any suggestions for dispersed camping? If not then any suggestions will do.

    Thanks,
    J. Hikesalot

    Are you going to be car camping or backpacking?

    I've heard Nordhouse Dunes north of Ludington is good.

    Grand Island in the UP, near Munising and Pictured Rocks. Or hike Pictured Rocks themselves.

    Probably car camping unless i can scrounge up enough gear for my buddy and I to both hit the trail. But, if we do backpack then it would need to be somewhat short distance because my buddy has no experience at all.

    If you like loud, 2am-campfire-voices, constant chopping of wood and crowded, Nordhouse Dunes always delivers.
