Looking for Seasonal Campground in upper Michigan

[Winnie]

Anyone know of a summer seasonal-site campground/resort in upper Michigan, either membership, or rent/lease for 3-4 months? Don't want to pay for something that cost more than our house, but something without the kiosk, fancy landscaping, and paver driveways like something offered near Empire or Traverse City.

Much of what is in our area is either state or national park, so usually 14 day limits, but you might check on Empire Township campground or Northwestern Michigan Fair CG (south of TC). I don't know if they offer seasonal in the summer, but they are rather no frills so probably less expensive than the more upscale.

More upscale, Indigo Bluffs (outside Empire) or Leelanau RV Park (near Cedar). Also Wild Cherry RV Park (near Suttons Bay). I don't know their pricing or if they offer seasonal either, but all are within 30 minutes max of TC or Empire.

I'm not sure if you are just looking to spend the summer in vacation paradise or are doing a seasonal stint at the NP whre commute distance matters, but if you branch out and also consider Beulah, Benzonia, Frankfort, Mesick, Interlochen areas you are still within less than an hour of TC.

If you want to PM me with more details of your situation, I might have a few more suggestions. Good to start planning very early. TC is a tourist hotbed and any kind of lodging is premium to come by in the summer.
