Hi Chris There are alot of "nice" campgrounds pending what you are looking for. If you want a state park with hook ups, playground, canoe rental, bike paths etc. And dont mind the weekend camp crowds then Brighton and pinkney state rec are very nice. My Kids love running around with all the other kids. But if your idea is to have tranquil night sleep and see no one and sleep with the animals then yes up north of Bay city is where it starts to get a little more peaceful. Ive done most of the Local to Ann Arbor camp areas (aka within 1 hour). I find them to be crowded and loud on weekends but weekdays they are fine. I just take foam ear plugs and drown out the PITA campers. I really dont think Sterling state park is all that good to hang out at do to a recent remodel and no shade or trees. But if you want more info all the camp grounds are listed on the state park web site. alot of the Family ones do Book solid before school starts up so be prepared to not be able to find a site. Good Luck and if Through the Ann Arbor Area of I-94 and US-23 and need to take a break give an email and we could connect and lie about vws for a spell. c-ya Jonce >Hi All, >I need to make a trip to Flint Michigan in a couple of weeks or so and >I thought I'd do some camping while I was there.
