The Best Of Camping... Made Easy!

Jeff Johnson

About Jeff Johnson

I’ve spent my entire life in the great state of Michigan.

In my youth I spent my summer vacations tent camping with my parents and RV camping with my Grandparents.

In High School my friends and I would go camping without anything other than a cooler full of beer, a rifle, and some campfire cooking gear to cook whatever we could catch or shoot to eat.

We would build a lean-to to sleep in and would only eat the small game we could shoot or the fish we could spear in the river (it’s amazing how delicious a squirrel or a sucker fish can be when it’s the only thing you have to eat).
Forty years later, my wife refuses to “rough it” like I used to, but she loves to hike along the shore of Lake Michigan and discovering new waterfalls, especially in the Upper Peninsula.

If you’re looking for a great outdoor adventure with hundreds of great campgrounds and RV parks, then Michigan should be on your short list.
