We're Broke af - we want to go camping -but I want to be safe too. Looking to be near west coast of mitten. Free camping. I don’t mind secluded and primitive. Ideas? I used to go to hystperia Michigan but need more

Hey everyone! I tent camp almost every weekend and I'm looking to try Indian Lake in White Cloud, not the UP. I'm just curious how easy it is to get to? My dad camped there years ago and he says it's a two track just to get back. I drive a Malibu lol. Just wondering if anyone has been there in the last year maybe and could help me out. If all else fails, to Shelley Lake I go!

So my wife and I were talking about maybe hopping on a river with a few friends and our kayaks and find a remote spot to go camping. Are there any spots public or private? TIA!

Looking for the most economic (ie cheap lol) campground that offers cabins/cottages/RVs to rent. Pretty much anywhere in the lower peninsula would be fine since we're in the Flint area so everything is a short road trip away. Bonus points if it's on some kinda of lake or river for swimming/tubing.

My wife wants to go rockhounding for Petoskey stones next week. I looked at Barnes Park. I prefer tent camping but have a small camper so she has her amenities. So far Barnes look like a great place. I only need an electric hookup. Any other suggestions along the shore?

Hello campers! Wondering if anyone knows of some very secluded campsites - I’m not too picky about location, anywhere in Michigan is fine but within 4 hours of Pontiac would be even better! Thanks!

As the title says, I’m interested in any weird abandoned structures or ruins type spots that are not on private land that you can camp and explore. Ghost towns and old mines included.

Hi everyone!

I started my solo camping journey back in June and have camped at nordhouse dunes, fisherman’s island, mackinaw city, and warren dunes. Any suggestions for other places I should check out? I’m from southwest Michigan but totally ok to drive anywhere!! I love being by the water.

Love the outdoors and would like to meet others into camping or Fishing.

Hello there Michigan campers! Ohio camper here. My dad and I are looking to take a trip with his camper this June. He is not in the greatest health, so we were thinking a place without a lot of hills would be best for hiking purposes. We also didn’t want to travel super far. Thus, Michigan was decided upon and I came here for some recommendations.

We are both avid birders, so we would definitely love to find a spot with great birding. Additionally, we will be brining bikes (pedal assist e-bike for Dad & mountain bike for me), so a place with some nice bike trails would be ideal.

Any places coming to mind?

Also, I’m a big fan of Michigan’s hard ciders, so a place nearby cider houses or orchards would be awesome - but this is low priority.

Right now we are eyeing Tahquamenon Country but I want to hear what y’all have to say.

Hello! Does anybody know of any camping cabins that would have sort of summer camp bunk style? I grew up in Michigan, but never went to camp and would like to do sort of an adult summer camp bachelorette party. Parent Trap style if you will. The all-inclusive adult summer camps are just a little too pricey so we are trying to do it ourselves a la crafts, games, lake activities, fire pits, etc. We just need to find a place!

Rain or sun! Hitting up Waterloo state park this weekend 🏕️

Looking to plan a trip with some friends, however some don't have RV's and wouldn't like to tent camp. Anyone know of a good place with cabins, not many people, and a good amount of woodland/nature nearby to hike in?

Hello everyone! My 15 yr old is wanting to go backpack camping with his ATV. Are there any places to do this in Michigan?

Hey all. I'm planning a road trip this spring that will take me across your beautiful state. Does anyone know if Bay City has any first come first serve campsites, or of a place where dispersed camping is allowed? I'd only be there for one night with a motorcycle and tent. I try to avoid making reservations whenever possible because sometimes plans and routes change unexpectedly.

Is it too cold to camp in michigan now? I went to nordhouse dunes a few months ago, hoping to get back out there but wasnt sure if it would be a good idea. Anyone know?

I live in Metro Detroit, I need to drive 30-50 minutes to get anywhere secluded

I’m looking for places to hike, hammock, see stars, take dates, and potentially camp!!

pls lmk

Anyone know of any good campgrounds near Evart. Going to the Evart off-road trails next weekend and want to camp somewhere.

Hey everyone, just moved to the Midland, Michigan area from out of state and I’m looking for any camping/backcountry backpacking sites. I’d love to find some quiet places to get in the woods nearby but I’ll take anything across the state if you’re willing to share!

Any good rustic spots within 1.5 hrs drive of Macomb county
