We are looking to take the family camping in a couple weeks. We want fishing, kid friendly camping....showers too *LOL* but not real familiar with the area we are looking at which is anywhere a little north of lansing. That will give us a two hour drive to get there and the same for my sister and her family that will be traveling south to meet us. Please let me know if you have any good places you know of that I can look up. Thanks

We just got back from the Rifle River Recreational area near Rose City. I am kinda picky about campgrounds, but this was a very nice one. It had tons of lakes. We stayed in the modern part of the campground, and they had a nice lake with a nice beach. They also have some very nice showers. There were also miles and miles and miles of trails with lots to see. I actually liked it so much I want to go back for a week next year. This place is huge, and if you drive around the rustic part of the campground you can check out a wooden overlook with beautiful views and also a view of a Bald Eagle nest with babies.
I put some pictures in the picture thread if you wanna take a look. I believe it was 124 miles from us and we live between Flint and Lansing.

Sleepy Hollow State Park is just north of Lansing. It's very family friendly and has some great fishing.
