A Camping We Will Go...

Camping Season is quickly approaching and I for one cannot wait! I just thought that I would share some quick resources for those who want to start planning their camping vacation.

Most campgrounds open Memorial Day Weekend. But you may want to call ahead to find the exact dates. Whether you love "roughing it" in a tent or like the homey feel of an RV, West Michigan has campgrounds to fit everyone's needs.

A couple campgrounds in West Michigan:

• Double JJ Ranch, Rothbury, 800-DOUBLE-JJ, www.doublejj.com
• KOA Campground,Traverse City,www.traversecityKOA.com
• Pickerel Lakeside Campground and Cottages, Baldwin Area, 800-464-1468, www.LakeCamp-Cottages.com
• Sunny Brook RV Resort, South Haven, 888-499-5253, www.sunnybrookrvresort.com
• Hungry Horse Campground, Dorr, 616-681-9836, www.hungryhorsecampground.com
• Hill & Hollow Campground, Pentwater, 231-869-5811, www.hillandhollowcampground.com

For a list of all of the state campgrounds and national forests, visit Michigan's Department of Natural Resources Campground Page Here. They have a map for every county in Michigan showing where the parks are. A great resource!

Hey, have fun while camping this summer. It is going to be a beautiful summer and I don't think there is a better way to spend time with family and friends than around a campfire, playing games and barbecuing. Can't wait!
