Good tent camping locations in the Midwest?

Question

My friends and I (8 of us total) are going camping and have yet to find a good location. We're either going to Michigan, Indiana, or Wisconsin. We want there to be swimming, alcohol allowed, and maybe fishing. Please let me know if you know of any good places.

Answer 1

Try Michigan.  There are thousands of places you can tent camp, and it's tough to find a spot in Michigan that doesn't have fishing.  Check out S. Manitou Island.  It's a few miles off the NW part of the Lower Peninsula.  NO motorized anything.  Or, Islwe Royal, in Lake Superior.  As for alcohol, as long as you are 21, and don't behave stupidly, nobody will care.  Consider a canoe camping trip.  You copuld rent several canoes, and ride for a couple days down one of our beautiful rivers, like the Ausable.  You camp by the side of the river, and paddle off in the morning.  Rental operations can fix you up with everything you need, and drive you upstream for 50-100 miles.  And, it's not all that expensive.  Just a thought.
