No one can resist sitting around a campfire roasting marshmallows and making Smores with their friends and family. Swimming, fishing, exploring, and making new friends at a nice campground is always a fun vacation in the summer. Sometimes you need to get away from the hustle and bustle of everyday life and make memories with your littles, and you don´t have to go far from home in Michigan to find a great place to spend a few days in the great outdoors.
