In his new book, Best Tent Camping: Michigan (May 2020, Menasha Ridge Press), author Matt Forster features his choices for the 50 best tent-camping destinations in Michigan.
Waterloo Recreation Area’s Green Lake Campground has been selected as one of them.
Best Tent Camping: Michigan presents national park, state park, national forest, and state forest campgrounds, organized into five regions.
Selections are based on location, topography, size, and overall appeal. Every site is rated for beauty, privacy, spaciousness, quietness, security, and cleanliness—so you’ll always know what to expect.
The new full-color edition of the guidebook provides everything you need to know, with detailed maps of each campground and key information such as fees, restrictions, dates of operation, and facilities.
Green Lake Campground receives perfect five-star ratings in spaciousness, quietness, and cleanliness. The author also notes that “part of the experience is engaging with nature, and there’s no better way to immerse yourself in the heart of Waterloo than to pitch camp in the park’s rustic campground.”
Whether you seek a quiet campground near a fish-filled stream or a family campground with all the amenities, grab Best Tent Camping: Michigan.
It’s an escape for all who wish to find those special locales that recharge the mind, body, and spirit. Best Tent Camping: Michigan ($16.95, paperback) is available wherever books are sold.
