GoCampingAmerica.com lists Great Camping & Attractions on the Great Lakes

One of North America’s most interesting and varied travel destinations is Great Lakes, the largest grouping of freshwater lakes in the world, writes Jeff Crider for GoCampingAmerica.com.

Spanning more than 750 miles from east to west and offering more than 10,000 miles of coastline, Crider writes that Lakes Superior, Michigan, Huron, Ontario and Erie offer scenic coastal villages, waterfront towns, lighthouses and military forts, beautiful waterfalls, dense forests and numerous lakes and rivers that are perfect for fishing as well as canoeing and kayaking.

Crider then provides a closer look at each of the Great Lakes, then suggests places to camp and nearby attractions.

For Lake Superior, Crider suggests camping at Buffalo Valley Camping in Duluth, Minn. for exploring the west end attractions. Wildwood Campground in Iron River, Wis. is a terrific base camp for visiting Apostle Islands National Lakeshore.

Lake Michigan has five regions to explore including Door County, Green Bay and Milwaukee in Wisconsin, Chicago, Illinois and Traverse City, Michigan.

Door County offers several campgrounds, and Crider suggests Door County Camping Resort (Egg Harbor), Egg Harbor Campground & RV Resort (Egg Harbor), Fish Creek Campground (Fish Creek), Harbour Village Resort (Sturgeon Bay) and Tranquil Timbers Camping Resort (Sturgeon Bay).

In Milwaukee, Crider points campers in the direction of Yogi Bear’s Jellystone Park in Caledonia.

One of America’s largest cities, Chicago also has several campground options including Fish Lake Beach Resort (Volo, Ill.), Fossil Rock Recreation Area (Wilmington, Ill.), Hide-A-Way Lakes (Yorkville, Ill.) and Yogi Bear’s Jellystone Park (Portage, Ind.).

Likewise, Crider says Traverse City has many camping options including Holiday Park Campground (Traverse City), Leelanau Pines Campground (Cedar), Timber Ridge RV & Recreation Resort (Traverse City) and Traverse Bay RV Resort (Acme).

For Lake Huron, Crider suggests six campgrounds to explore Mackinac Island as well as Frankenmuth, Michigan: Cedarville R.V. Park & Campground (Mackinaw City), Mackinaw Mill Creek Camping (Mackinaw City), Mackinaw City/Mackinac Island KOA (Mackinaw City), Ber-Wa-Ga-Na Campground (Vasser), Frankenmuth Jellystone Park (Frankenmuth) and Genesee Otter Lake Campground (Otter Lake).
