Campgrounds

The entire Schummer family enjoys getting away and camping for many weekends each spring, summer and fall.  If you love to camp and your vacations take you to the Great Lakes State (that's Michigan), here is a list of some beautiful state parks and some great campsites.  I also like to hear of more so email me campgrounds that you have enjoyed over the years.

Future updates to this page may include maps of the campgrounds and links to the maps to get to the camps.
