One of my favorite things to do in Michigan is go camping with friends and family. I love escaping it all and enjoying Mother Nature. No need for phones, laptops, or any of those annoying work emails. There's something so relaxing about sitting around a campfire as it crackles and pops while you roast a hot dog or some marshmallows for s'mores.
Pure Michigan just came out with a list of the most beautiful places to go camping in Michigan and they definitely don't disappoint.
