I guess to look at a map!
OKKKKK, off I 80 take 31 North to what they call 196, if you really want to hug the coast line of western Michigan. That will take you via South Haven (oooo laa laa), and Holland.
North of Holland you get back on 31 and hit Grand Haven another oooo lahhh lahh), Musekgon, Ludington.
BETWEEN Muskegon and Ludington find Mears, near Silver Lake State Park, great dunes here, some fun hiking, great RailstoTrails Bike paths, NOTING, we have not been over there for a number of years, and things do change, but those Dunes won't!
You can follow 31 almost all the way to Mackinaw, passing Beulah, Traverse City (cherry capital of the world?? well, at least Michigan!
)
Now onward, still on 31, hit Charlevoix (another oooooo laahhhhh lahhhhh), Petosky and a bit more to Mackinaw.
If you want to see our "Mountains" of Michigan, yea, I know, snicker, you could consider at Manistee taking a hard right through the Manistee National Forest, and head over to Cadillac.
And, maybe Dave can tell us if any of these roads are gonna give you fits towing, Al and I have not towed Tana over these roads, so, I am just telling you the nice drives and stops.
It has been SOOOO long since we have stayed over there, I cannot suggest campgrounds, EXCEPT, you can never go wrong in any of the state parks over there, Holland, Grand Haven (parked right on the beach, it is fab!!), Muskegon, Ludington (this one used to be hard to get smaller rigs in, have not gone there in YEARS, and I mean, like 20 years), Silver Lake near Hart and Mears. Now, most Michigan parks do not have water on the site, and many do not have 50 Amp service. You will need a state park sticker, and believe that out of state residents pay more (stupid idea, but, I don't set the rates)
go here for lots more info on Michigan State Parks.

I have not stayed in any private parks over there in many many years. Used to be one around Sagatuck we enjoyed. Not sure bout that any more either.
I am reluctant to mention private parks, since we rarely use them here in Michigan.
