I will be up there camping for the 7th year in a row. we will have a couple boats. there is a beach, sand dunes, and a bunch of fun.
i'ts just west of Oscoda, MI. Come on up and drink some beers.
where exactly is oscoda? we will be over by lake bellaire area that weekend and if it's not to far from there maybe we can hook-up.

thats nice. i was thinking about running up a night or 2 early and putting up a empty tent. since it is no reservations, and first come first serve.......that is about the only way i can guarantee a site for the weekend.

great place my mom lives up on Van Ettan Lake in Oscoda. I've been hanging out there since 1968 for vacations.

Looks like a great place to enjoy a weekend- unfortunately the 3 hour drive is a little daunting.
I actually didn't know that dunes that big existed on the east side of the state!
