Camping Across Wisconsin & the Upper Peninsula

Broke camp at Willow River, did a final hike to falls, then drove to Amnicon Falls and hiked there! Amnicon is relatively small, is a good place if you’re just passing through as the hike to the falls is super short.

Amnicon Falls to American Legion Forest State Park, we stayed in the Plum Lake loop. After setting up camp we kayaked Plum Lake and relaxed in our hammocks- lots of good trees for setting them up here. Saw several bald eagles while hanging out!

Wisconsin to Baraga MI. As good a stopover place as any, we had rough weather and rain all afternoon so it was tough setting up camp. Not many trails at this park, but super nice facilities, great view of the lake!

Baraga to St. Ignace, the drive across the UP is WILD and gorgeous and not to be missed. We spent the whole day driving, stopped at more waterfalls as we went. Camped at St. Ignace with the most perfect view of Mighty Mac!

Mackinac Island then Cheboygan. Woke up super early and drove to Mackinaw City to take the ferry so our vehicle would be south of the island when we were ready to leave later in the day. We biked M-185 around the island , stopped at all of the usual places, Arch Rock, Devil’s Kitchen, etc. We did lunch at Pink Pony, super fun atmosphere. Drove to Cheboygan State Park and camped there, but didn’t explore at all.

Cheboygan to Higgins Lake, via Hoeft. Stopped at Hoeft State Park as it was our original plan to camp there. The sites were tiny and not at all private. We regrouped and decided to go to Higgins Lake, total party campground, we had an excellent time.
