Man this is making me want to go camping in Michigan again. My grandparents had a cabin on a lake near Rifle River and I spent about every other weekend up there as a kid, winter and summer, and if we weren’t there we were camping or hitting up places like Hartwick Pines or Castle Rock or Ocqueoc Falls (which is crazy developed now vs when I was a kid). Thanks for all this and keep the commentary coming, one of these days I’ll drag some friends out winter camping.

bagmonkey posted:Bump, we're camping second week of August and I'm trying to figure out where we should stay for the last night. Trip looks like this so far: Ocqueoc Falls Since its first come, first served you can make reservations at Hoeft, which runs the campground and isn't much further and also has some Lake Huron beachfront. Be prepared for bugs. https://www2.dnr.state.mi.us/parksandtrails/Details.aspx?id=456&type=SPRK You can also take US23 all the way to at least Flint if you want to avoid that I-75 parking lot and get a lot of nice lakefront views. http://www.us23heritageroute.org/ Oracle fucked around with this message at 17:54 on Jul 25, 2023 |

Those ‘tent only’ campsites are exactly how I remember campsites looking from when I was a kid, multiple decades ago. The fact you got easy access to the nice bathrooms and not just a vault toilet makes me green with envy. 4. Yeah the wildlife gives absolutely no fucks. I was at Sand Lake a few years ago with the kids and watched a chipmunk work his little rear end off trying to somehow, someway get into my open hatchback where an open single serving size container of peanut butter was. I was like three feet away at the time and not hiding. In broad daylight. 5. I would also add ‘Don’t go camping on Memorial Day or Labor Day weekend either’ but at that point you’re kind of out of three day weekends that work for everyone so I will just add a ‘DO go Columbus Day weekend’ if you get it off.

Dr. Lunchables posted:We had originally planned to go to Sterling State Park, on the shores of Lake Erie, but a goddamn tornado (or six) happened to touch down in Michigan. One just a few miles from our house. Instead of lazing on the beach, we’re feeding a generator so that our fridge doesn’t die, wishing we could take a shower. Holy poo poo glad you’re ok. Whereabouts?
