Pop-up campers?

[Major Hamhocks]

Are there any pop-up campers out there. My wife and I have a Coleman Utah pop-up. We love to camp in the Michigan State Parks in the summer.

We have an older Rockwood. We'd like to upgrade this year to something newer/bigger and possibly keep the older camper for a hunt camp.

We've camped both state parks and private campgrounds. Both have their plusses and minuses, but we just enjoy getting out away from the house/phone/business.

Yeah us too...I tell ya, if you stick with the pop-up for your upgrade that coleman utah is awesome. We bought ours in 2001 used it about 10-15 times and love it. Its just the two of us and is plenty big. Has almost all the amenities too!! Don't want to get too far away from civilization ;)

Major, check out the Great Lakes Pop Up Club (GLPUC) at http://www.glpuc.org/home.asp

lzqwhr,

I think that I have been to that site. It is pretty cool. Don't they organize a few camping trips each year? I was thinking about joining the club. The only problem is I think they want you to go on at least one outing per year or something like that....and I have a screwy work schedule and am not always available.

No, I have been a member since early last year and have not been asked for anything. Outings are purely vouluntary, I have not made it to any but from what the members post (messages and pics) they have a great time. I am hoping to make some of them this year. Metamora camp weekend is coming up in April and hoping to get to that one, being that its only 15 minutes from my house. A lot of useful info and helpful people on the forum.

Thanks for the tip. I really need to join so I can meet more people with the same interests. Camped at Young State PArk on Lake Charlevoix last year. Can't wait to go back this year.
