My girlfriend and I are going camping in a couple of weeks. Neither one of us have ever been before.
We're doing this because we both just want to 'get away' for a couple days. We don't want to have to deal with any other people or have civilization anywhere in sight for miles. Ideally, we would like to be in a forested area near a lake or river and really just be off the grid for a lack of a better term.
This being said, I'm really shying away from the traditional campgrounds where people drive up their RV's and have other campers in close proximity.
I guess my question is: Can I just drive into any State Park in Michigan (We live in Chicago but are willing to drive) find a nice area in the forest, and camp their? Or do we have to be on an official "Campground"?
I want this to be special for us so we can really get some quality time together. Any help is greatly appreciated!
