  • U P Michigan camping at Straits State Park. We take you camping in the U P of Michigan. This is our first trip into the U P and we are having a great time. Starting from our trip across the MIGHTY MAC to the beautiful shores of Lake Huron the U P is living up to the hype. From this great spot to see the U P St. Ignace is a great small town with access to Mackinac Island and the wonders of that destination. We also day trip to Tehquamenon Falls, Soo Locks, and the Great Lakes Shipwreck Museum.
    We give a overview of the campground in Straits State Park.

    We loved our time in the UP. We stayed between Sault Ste Marie and St Ignace at an inexpensive city park. No frills, but we liked it.

    Michigan’s Upper Peninsula is true rustic magnificence. Tahquamenon Falls, the Shipwreck Museum, and the Soo Locks are all great places to visit. On the west side of the UP we recommend Indian Lake State Park and the amazing crystal clear spring lake “Kitch-iti-kipi” in Palms Brook State Park. 🚀🦩

      Thank you so much for the suggestions. We had wanted to visit Kitch iti Kipi but didn't have enough time. We hope to spend an entire summer in the UP in the future.

    Wev stayed at the Mackinaw City KOA and thought it was a great base camp. Loved our time up there.

    Your videos make us want to go check out Michigan. Would love to see more of the Great Lakes and the North Country Trail. Not the whole entire North Country Trail. Maybe just part of it. Lake Huron looks great - and we look forward to seeing more about the Great Lakes Shipwreck Museum and other destinations you visited. Thanks for taking us along to Straits State Park.

      When you visit the UP you will not be disappointed. We're already talking about the possibility of spending an entire summer in Michigan.

    Nice tips for this state park.

  • @enroutewithchuckandcherie

    Lake Huron looks beautiful. The UP is definitely on our to do list. Missing those summer days right about now. Hope you guys are well and hope to cross paths this season. Safe travels.

    Great Video! We looked at this state park to stay but just decided on staying in Mackinac City instead. :)

    I would say if you were staying in Mackinaw City, Wilderness State Park is the best. They have recently upgraded it to have full hookup sites. The Michigan DNR has a good website for all state parks in Michigan. Most of them you can actually look at campsite because they have pictures of them.

      Thank you so much for the information. Will have to check it out next time.

    Many campgrounds around there have tight spaces and are crowded. It's the nature of the touristy area. If you prefer to be surrounded by crowds of people w/ small touristy shops then Mackinac city is a better choice . The upper loop at Straits is best suited for people who want a little more elbow room and is more flat. Plus it is a better place to be when it rains as the lower loop sites get increasingly soggy as you go down the hill.

    Mill Creek Campground in Mackinaw City is nice. But we love love love Wilderness State Park which is just west of Mackinaw City. You can watch some videos on our channel about it if you want to take a closer look
    We also really liked Straits State Park and think it's a wonderful home base for exploring the east side of the UP. We stayed in the loop closer to the water but backed up to the woods and had a very large, private spot. You're right that you need to choose your site wisely. 😁

      Will definitely checkout some of those videos. Seems like there are so many great campgrounds throughout the state.

      @@LovingLifeHitchedUp There sure are! We've been working our way through all the Michigan's State Parks and the vast majority of them are ones we can't wait to visit again!!! Especially the ones along Lake Michigan and in the UP!
