Just bought a tent camper and I thought I throw these questions out to you all. I'm looking for a campground that offers the following:

1) Any place in the lower peninsula.
2) Good shore fishing or nearby shore fishing, locations and tips would be appreciated. So I take my little one.
3) Close to shopping for the wife.
4) Nice campground facilities (swimming, showers, NO pit bathrooms, etc.)

Remember, these places would be more for the wife & child than for myself. Let's hear what places you would suggest.

Thanks in advance,

Craig M

As I've mentioned to others, check this one out.

It has everything you asked for, but the shopping is 1/2 hour away. Its Lansing, there are 2 malls and lots of stores. East lansing has some nice stuff for Moms and Kids. A one hour drive gets you to Outdoor world by Bass Pro Shops in the Big mall in Auburn Hills. Also lots of stores for moms and kids, but it is an hour drive each way.

I'm going to copy the rest of this to a new post in this forum and share with everyone.

The camp has a river (Shiawasee) running through it, and they have a canoe livery, and there is a swimming lake, that is corodoned off and some of it is for fishing only and there are 2 spring fed ponds that have fishing. Lots of bluegills and little bass and I have hooked a couple nice bass, and landed a 16" one on ultra light tackle.

This is a real family oriented place. We like it so much we took a site for the whole season this year.

Thanks for the post Sarge. I currently live in the Lansing area and was thinking of some more of the little obscure places in norther MI (I should have been a bit more specific in my post).
