Been all over Michigan and love their camping locations!

Anyone want to share their favorites if they don't mind? Been camping in the western portion near Manistee and also all the way east near the border, to up in the UP. So no where is too far!

I don’t camp, but if you come across anywhere I can car camp, I would appreciate it if you could share

When you say car camp, do you mean like in an RV? Or "glamping"?

If it is just the essense of travelling and sleeping with minimal stuff in your car, then there are some places up in Manistee National Forest where I have done exactly that as well.

Not RV, just want to throw a mattress in the back of my car and just sleep in it while I explore. Are there rules or can you just drive into the forest and park somewhere?

If you're up for driving to the end of the state and have a vehicle that can handle the trail, High Rock Bay at the tip of the Keweenaw Peninsula is a nice place to camp. The trail is rough, though. You'll want a Subaru, Jeep, truck, or something else with a bit of off road prowess. But since it's so far out there and the trail so rough, not many people go there.

Seems like this is a great spot based on the suggestions! Will definitely consider a trip out there this year then.

Absolute favorite place is High Rock Bay, the farthest tip of the Keweenaw Peninsula past Copper Harbor https://goo.gl/maps/e1XjseAjUHm8ZriaA
