Nice Campgrounds Near Sleeping Bear Dunes Michigan?

Thanks
Any recommendations for rustic, wooded campgrounds in lower Michigan??
Posted by: | CommentsCan anyone give me suggestions and opinions on any great wooded/rustic campgrounds in Lower Michigan (west side of the state near Grand Rapids or Lansing) I’m looking for something rustic with wooded campsites, not in the middle of the woods, but not on a public beach with overcrowded campsites. Someplace on a lake, or a close walk/hike to a lake. We have 2 very small children so a little runoff of a lake would be very nice, something not so deep for the kids to play in – not necessary but would be a great +. We want someplace where we can take walks in trails, swim, sit around a campfire and enjoy the peace. Also, small private sandy shores would be great…although I don’t want to expect too much. Rustic though, no golf courses or big pools… c’mon, that’s not camping.
It doesn’t have to have a huge playground either but a small one would be helpful, again…not necessary. Please give your opinions on places you’ve stayed, or places you’ve heard of. THANKS!
Moving to the Mid-South from Michigan?
Posted by: | CommentsIm looking at some places in KY, TN, NC, VA area. Specifically: Louisville, Knoxville, Nashville, Richmond, Roanoke, Raleigh, Durham, Asheville. Im looking a city that is progressive-ish, like Portland but without all the holier than thou-off the deep end types. Things that would be important for me are a good economy (better than Michigan at least), good schools in the city (dont want to live in suburbia ever again), active and interesting culture, good food, nice scenery (mountains, lakes, rivers etc) and proximity to outdoor activities like skiing, hunting, fishing, and camping. If you know anything about these places, feel free to enlighten me, or tell me about a city not listed. I’d would be moving with my wife, and 2 month old daughter, and plan to stay for the duration and raise my family there.
Ian-Want to expand on that a bit? Tell me something about knoxville?
Week long survival trip in Michigan?
Posted by: | CommentsI plan on going on a trip with a couple friends this summer. We want to go with the least amount of supplies like fishing pole, knife, matches, and water. I have gone camping many times and know what I am doing for the most part. I took a survival class in high school and went on a 5 day canoe trip (last night without a tent). I have always wanted to do this by myself but want to do it with a couple friends first. Does any body know where I can do this in michigan? I was thinking the u.p.?
yes I live north of detroit
What are Michigan must-see’s?
Posted by: | CommentsI’ve lived in Michigan for 20 years (I’m 20). I’m from the Flint area. I want to make sure I see everything and do everything there is in Michigan.
I’ve been to Mackinac Island, Traverse City, Sleeping Bear Dunes, South Manitou, Detroit, Tawas, Frankenmuth, Crossroads Village, Tiger’s Games, UofM Games, and Caseville. I plan to go to the U.P. soon to see Pictured rocks, Tahquamenon Falls, Whitefish point, and Two-Hearted River.
I like hiking, kayaking, camping, festivals, concerts, games, cute towns, sightseeing, etc.
Anything you think is worth seeing please tell me!
Land Contract question (Michigan).?
Posted by: | CommentsWe have a seller that is willing to take zero down on a 30 year land contract. The property is 30 acres (2 15 acre parcel’s), 1 parcel has a mobile home and a pole barn and the other parcel has no buildings. The total sales price is $164,800.00 and the monthly payment would be $1450.00 a month which included property taxes ($1800.00 a year), home owners insurance ($700.00 a year) and interest of 8.5%. If we can convince the seller to take lets say $800.00 a month with a 30 year balloon, what would the balloon payment be? I have looked for an amortization calculator that allows calculations for a 30 year balloon but can’t find one anywhere online. Any help would be appreciated so we can make our dreams come true. We love camping and dream of owning and operating our own campground one day and we are perfectly content with building one from scratch.

What is “Nisso” in Oscoda, Michigan? ?

Thanks so much.
Where are any campgrounds in Michigan?
Posted by: | CommentsOk, the title got your attention because I know there are TONS of campgrounds in Michigan. I’m 18 and my boyfriend is 20. We want to go camping this summer but every campground I come across states that you must be 21 to rent a site out. I was wondering if anyone knew of ANY campgrounds in Michigan that you could be at least 18 years of age to rent a site. If anybody does, that would be very helpful if you could list them.
I mean, I can go to war but i cant rent a freakin campsite for the weekend with my boyfriend?!
anyways if anyone has any ideas, they would be greatly appreciated, PLEASE AND THANK YOU!
Multi-day Hike in Michigan?
Posted by: | CommentsI’m looking to do a 3-4 day hike (30+ miles) in Michigan with a buddy. Looking for great scenic views along the way, such as waterfalls, lakes, caves, and anything of those sorts. The trails can be any difficulty and we will be tent camping along the trail during the days. Thanks
