RE: Nice RV parks in Northern Michigan
Check out Lake Leelanau NW of Traverse City. Full hook-ups and pull-thrus in a more rustic setting and right on the lake.

About 20 miles from TC but only a couple miles to Lake Leelanau village with a grocery store and about 4-5 miles to both Leeland and Suttons Bay which have grocery stores, restaurants and stuff to do.
Great place.

RE: St Ignace or Mackinaw City area Michigan
Mill Creek is a fantastic campground with a ton of variety in sites. For a week stay I would recommend it. Both state parks in the area are fantastic as well and you can't go wrong.
We found Mill Creek to be a parking lot with tight sites. Unless you like that sort of thing.
A lot of people complain about this. My response is always...don't stay in that area. There is the parking lot section with the bridge view that so many people want and they are packed in there tight. But that's only 20% of the entire campground. There are *lots* of nice big and wooded sites. Last time we stayed we were in the area along the lake just before the final turn to the parking lot area. The sites are so wide I could turn my truck around on the site and not have to backup. And lots of trees. Electric and water only though. So if you can "sacrifice" and not have sewer you can get much larger sites there at Mill Creek. In the evening walk about 200 feet with your chair and sit on the lake and watch the bridge and the fireworks.
Just my opinion. :)

RE: 6 Person Tent
Just FYI that Coleman now sells a rain fly for the instant tents.

RE: Ridiculously expensive Michigan SP's
I don't know about other states but Michigan cut off the state park/forest system from any tax money many years ago so they are on their own.
We stay at both State Parks and private parks and much prefer the state parks. And cost...just pick where you go. In the Traverse City area we've stayed at private parks that are $40+ a day or just stay at Interlochen SP for all of $19 a day. Or at one of the many state forest campgrounds in the area for $10 a day.
It's all about choice but we'd much rather stay in a SP with electric or in a SF campground with no hookups most of the time.
