This morning we moved from the Marquette Tourist Park to the Country Village RV park in Ishpeming, MI. The Tourist Park was fine, other than only having 30 amp electrical service, but it is a busy place. I was surprised that we were able to make a reservation for as many days in a row as we did. The distance between the two parks is less than 20 miles.
We have previously stayed at the Country Village 3 or 4 times. Last year we checked in on Sept 20 and out on Sept 25.

It has a heated pool and hot tub, which is open this time of year but wasn't open last Sept. It also has a "Bounce Pad" for kids.
I have been searching trying to find a couple of campgrounds in MI's UP where we might stay for a month at each next year. We love the Soo Locks campground but not having a sewer hookup is inconvenient. We stayed there for a week earlier this trip. I took showers in the shower house and Kathy was conservative with her water use when showering (turn the water on, get wet, turn it off, soap yourself, turn the water back on and rinse off). Our holding tank level sensors don't work properly so we never knew how close the tanks are to being full. Actually I knew we could go at least a week without filling the black tank because I only dumped it weekly when we were at Kelsey's. When we were ready to leave Soo Locks I ran water into the grey tank for 5 minutes and didn't fill it. Kathy could have taken longer showers, but we would still have to unhook utilities, drive to the on site dump stations, dump tanks and drive back down to the campsite on a weekly basis.
This campground, in Ishpeming, might be a possibility, It isn't on water, which we would love and there are no grand views from the campground. It is just a well maintained, campground with full hook ups, good WiFi, a heated pool and hot tub and several nice size sites that back up to wooded areas. The 2022 monthly rate is $870. Last January we paid $395 plus $75 for electricity for a month at Rainbow Plantation in Summerdale, AL last January, but I know that was CHEAP, especially because it is such a nice place.
Temperature will be a requirement. No single day with a daily high temp above 90 and no 3 days in a row with highs above 85. These requirements mean that we need to leave MO mid June and not return until mid September.
Yesterday's high here was 70, Wednesday's overnight low was 45. Great weather.

God is good. I pray that He blesses you and yours.
