Sorry we've been a little MIA for the past couple of weeks, it's been pretty hectic over here with all the changes going on.
So, so far this summer, we didn't get to go out as much as we would have liked to, but we're making the best of it. In late June, we traveled to Boyne City to stay at Young State Park (which we highly recommend!). It's nestled between beautiful Lake Charlevoix and Lake Michigan. Our campsite was great, the bathrooms were clean, and overall, had a fantastic time!
Our next trip is coming up in two weekends. We're off to visit Silver Lake State Park in Mears, Michigan! This is the first time we will have been there and are really looking forward to it. The only other place we've been to in that area is Ludington State Park and that was an incredible park as well. I can honestly say, there hasn't been a park in Michigan that we haven't had a great time at. We love our state :)
What's so special about this trip is that we finally get to take our pop up out for the first time!! I am beyond excited. All of our hard work and renovations will finally get to be used, and probably only to find out what other renovations we want done for next time haha. But it will be an awesome adventure, that's for sure. We have also recently bought a set a kayaks that we took out to Port Austin a couple of weeks ago. What a blast that was. We took a picnic and made a 4 mile round trip out on the Broken Rocks trail. We stopped on one of them and had our lunch while looking over the water and it was amazing. There are so many trails to explore over there; we are for sure going to see Turnip Rock next time. It's been called one of the best sites to see in Michigan!
Back to our camping trip....
It's about three and half hours from where we live, so not too bad of a hike. On this trip, we are also doing a charter fishing trip for the first time on Lake Michigan. A friend of ours has a family member who owns a charter company is taking us out for a day. We're hoping to catch some lake trout and possibly salmon. But regardless, the experience will be fun!
Has anyone ever been in this area? Is there something we cannot miss while we're out there? Please, let us know! Also, I'm always on the lookout for some new camping recipes! If anyone has any, I'd love to hear them, we like pretty much anything over here :)
Talk soon!
