Pure Michigan Camping – An All American Holiday Get-Away
Association of RV Parks & Campgrounds Invites Families to Rediscover Michigan Camping During Upcoming Fourth of July
(CHEBOYGAN, Mich) – Camping is a tradition as rich in American pride as baseball, hot dogs and apple pie. Ranked the #1 outdoor activity in the United States, camping is the perfect way to reconnect with the family and explore the natural surroundings in the Great Lakes State.
Given that Independence Day falls on a Wednesday in 2012, families have two weekends in which to celebrate and there are plenty of camp sites – for tenters, RVers and cabin-dwellers – available at private campgrounds throughout both the Upper and Lower Peninsulas between June 29 and July 9. Below, are those private campgrounds that have reported availability:

Whether pitching a tent, parking an RV or reserving a rustic or modern cabin, Michigan campgrounds offer a great way to disconnect from busy lives and reconnect with families. Campers in Michigan enjoy the great outdoors while fishing or canoeing on the countless lakes, rivers and streams or hiking, biking and riding on the miles of trails that wind throughout the state. There’s definitely no shortage of activities, no matter where the campground is located.
The 2012 Michigan Campground Directory, published by ARVC – Michigan, is now available at various locations statewide, including all Welcome Centers.
