Any suggestions on a good place to go tent camping in Michigan? Would like to go canoeing and tubing also?
ByProbably within two hours away from detroit maybe a little farther

OMG! It is so hard to find places to tent camp now-a-days. When you find one, will you let me know? We are sick of RV’s and them taking up every campground!! Try a state park or up near the Rifle River….that’s usually a good canoeing spot…or the Au Sable (Spelling???) Good luck and let me know!!!

There are so many places to tent in Michigan it would be impossible to list them all here, but here are a couple of good sites for you to investigate……………………………………………….

Check out the State of Michigan website for State Parks/Campgrounds.

Try http://michigan.org they will have information about each area of the State. Select the Outdoors tab will provide selections including canoeing.
It would depend upon what type of canoeing you’re looking to do. My preferences are the Rifle River and Pere Marquette River. Both have overnight camping accessable by canoe.
Close to home, try Proud Lake Recreation Area they have modern camping (tents are best on the west side) with access to Proud Lake and a short section of the Huron River for canoeing.
Here is a link to the State Campgrounds search

More information will be available on the left menu including maps of campsites and descriptions
