Wife and i are planning on a trip through the midwest and possibly upper michigan. the question we have is what would be the best time to do this in may before memorial day or a little later and ito june. we are planning about three or four weeks. would like opinions on timing/
You probably won't find many campgrounds open before Memorial Day weekend. I would do some research on state parks, campground openings before heading out. Spring is always a great time to go to WI/MI, just take a lot of bug spray. Safe travels, Judy
June is good month we think to venture thru the upper midwest (MN, WI, MI) The parks are open by then and the weather hasn't gotten so humid yet. And of course the bugs aren't bad by then either. If you head north to along the shores of Lake Superior (a drive well worth the time) the temps and weather conditions can change daily, so prepare of hot, and wet & cold. MI has some wonderfull national parks (most rustic, but not at all crowded) campgrounds. The UP is GREAT! Be sure the check out the sand dunes and MN's North shore is wonderful. too. Have a great trip!
