Runaway Camper on M22 along Lake Michigan!

Runaway and Seemore, with us, as we attempt to travel the M22, in our mini camper, along Lake Michigan without any advanced reservations. We stop and visit several attractions, small towns and try to stay at state campgrounds along the way. In this portion of our trip, we visit Orchard Beach State Park, TJ's Pub, Manistee, North Pier Lighthouse, Inspiration Point, Point Betsie Lighthouse, Leelanau State Park and the Grand Traverse Lighthouse. Believe it or not there is one spot designated as only small campers allowed. Stay till the end to help me identify a mysterious tree. Thanks for watching and supporting our channel.

[@CurtisChetock]

Waterside campsite looked amazing!

[@RunawayAndSeemor3]

It was amazing. Caribbean blue without the salt. Thanks for watching.🌸

[@jenniferspotts6207]

What site number was that?

[@Boondockin_Bouyers]

Hello again friends! we love Michigan State Parks bu have not been to this one yet. Going to add I to our list. Great video!

[@RunawayAndSeemor3]

Thanks Shawn. It is a wonderful place to boondock. Can't wait to camp with guys again! Happy camping! 🏕️

[@campinwiththeconfers]

Great job Ben and Tiffany! We loved our trip to MI this summer. I have never seen those trees before. Those have to be the cleanest pit toilets I’ve ever seen. You’re second site was amazing. You get the best sites if you are willing to live without amenities as long as you can fit! Love the pics in the film reel too!

[@RunawayAndSeemor3]

Thank you so much for watching and being supportive. Our trip was in June but just now getting to post. I loved Leelanau State Park. It was awesome. We eneded up at a lot of the same places as you guys did. Had we known, We could have hooked up and did the trip together. Looking forward to camping with you guys soon. Till then. Happy Camping!

[@CHEtotheTOCK]

That looks awesome out there!!

[@RunawayAndSeemor3]

Lake Michigan actually has Caribbean colors in some places. It is one heck of a lot colder though. 🥶

[@54bonkers]

Weird tree…very nice campsite on the lake. Happy Adventures! Thanks for sharing.

[@RunawayAndSeemor3]

Thank you for watching and supporting our channel. We slept with the windows open. And when I first seen the tree, it made me a little nervous that some animal may end up on our camper roof and possibly in the camper. 🤣All ended well. Made me relieved to know it was just the tree. Happy Camping! 🌸

[@PriceTagAquariums]

Nice scenery there. I never knew Lake Michigan was that nice and clear. Did you ever find out what kind of tree the "poop tree" was? lol. Great Upload!

[@RunawayAndSeemor3]

Thanks. Yes, Lake Michigan is beautiful. No. No one has answered that question. At first I was scared what ever animal left all that on the tree was gonna get on the roof of the camper at night. 🤣😳

[@ThoseWhoGlampTogether]

We would love to do the M22 on the motorcycle! Sleeping Bear Dunes is awesome, love camping in Michigan!

[@RunawayAndSeemor3]

That sounds like fun. Stay tuned for the upcoming second half of our video, we will show some more stops that may be of interest to ya! 😉

[@glamfamcampers]

I like the editing you did with the photos in a film roll really cool. Michigan was so great this summer

[@RunawayAndSeemor3]

Thanks for watching. It is appreciated. Glad we both got to visit.

[@G.J..Journeys]

Enjoyed your road trip. Lovely campground and beach. New subscriber here. Looking forward to more👍

[@RunawayAndSeemor3]

Thanks bunches. We will definitely return the favor. Happy camping. 😊

[@CampsiteCruising]

Looks like it’s a great spot and location.

[@RunawayAndSeemor3]

Thanks for watching and supporting our channel. If you didn’t know any better, you would swear you are at the Caribbean. It is a shocking reminder when you feel how cold Lake Michigan is. It is so beautiful though. Happy Camping! 🌸

[@jamespierson4462]

We hope to go that route next year

[@RunawayAndSeemor3]

Well worth the trip!

[@jordanmick4502]

Love the content! Would love to see Luke in these soon!

[@RunawayAndSeemor3]

Thanks bunches. Thanks for watching and supporting the channel. Whenever Luke is ready, the camper is actually built for a rooftop tent like overlanders use or I can create my playlist of Cooking With My Three Sons. I already have videos ready to roll.

[@TerryX2Explore]

Hello Ben and Tiffany! Found you over at Facebook... Adorable camper! We tried everything from tent to trailer and finally settled on a van. We've explored the U.P. a lot but have never gone to Lower MI so enjoyed checking it out via your videos! Are you guys from MI - hoping to see more of it... ;-) 💙Terry and Terri

[@RunawayAndSeemor3]

Thanks for watching. Your support means a lot! ☺️We will return the generosity. We are actually from Ohio but love to visit Michigan. The water reminds me of the Caribbean. We have also visited the UP but it was before we had a KZbin Channel. I would like to go back! There are a couple of other spots up there I would like to visit as well. Where are you guys from? Maybe we will bump into each other on the trail. Happy Camping!🌸

[@TheWoodsOnline]

Welcome to Manistee! We hope you enjoyed your stay and the surrounding area. You can't go wrong going up the M-22.

[@RunawayAndSeemor3]

Thanks for watching! We loved everything about Michigan.💕All of the places had memorable landmarks. We are from Ohio but actually learned about the M22 from another camper while in Kentucky. This will definitely not be our last trip that way. If you know of any other good spots around that area, please share!Happy Camping!🌸

[@TheWoodsOnline]

We are from NC and went to Michigan our first time back in 2017. We had 3 destinations in a weeks time we wanted to see. University of Michigan for our daughter that was 16 at the time. The TC area and the UP (Pictured Rocks and Mackinac Island). I couldn’t find camping in the TC area during the summer that would work our motorhome. Came across the Little River Casino in Manistee and learned they had an RV park. So we planned to make that base camp for the TC part. We fell in love with Manistee (and the summer weather) and felt like we could retire there one day. 2 years later, we purchased a home there (my 50th birthday present lol). We still live in NC primarily, but I will be retiring from my job in the spring hopefully and we will be moving up there permanently. My wife and daughter have stayed up there off and on. My daughter even graduated high school there. We love it there. It’s a breath of fresh air for us. M-22 is awesome. So much to see. You saw many of our go to spots when we are there. We recently journeyed around past TC and as far up to Charlevoix. Another great town. So much to explore and see. We are so excited. We will be heading up this weekend for the Victorian Sleighbell Parade and Old Christmas Weekend that happens over the following weekend. Here’s a link of what it’s like. We love Christmas and this is a perfect thing for us. kzbin.info/www/bejne/rWK1mZyCp9eMf80

[@GwayGwayAndMamaHippo]

Id rock hunt that beach!

[@RunawayAndSeemor3]

It was very beautiful but super duper cold! 🥶

[@weirskruud]

It's been years...but yeah, Michigan lake is beautiful. Like your seat covers, did you purchase or make?

[@RunawayAndSeemor3]

Thank you so much. Believe it or not they are just rag rugs. I took the headrest off of the seat and put the spokes in between the woven rags for the top and then just tucked one in to the crease of the seat for the bottom. They are cheap and work great for protecting my seats from my dog. 💕

[@weirskruud]

@@RunawayAndSeemor3 I like them because rag rugs is what they reminded me of lol.... Great tip ...... I'm definitely gonna copy 😀

[@EricJensExcellentEggventure]

That was an amazing campsite! Do you need to get a state park pass for Michigan?

[@RunawayAndSeemor3]

It was an amazing campsite! Yes, we did get the Annual Non-Resident Recreation Pass. It was $39 for the year.

[@drhobbs1669]

Where'd you get the box at? I just got the same color camper today. Heading back to Ohio after an over night in Tennessee and Kentucky.

[@RunawayAndSeemor3]

We got the Craftsman utility box at Lowe’s.

[@RunawayAndSeemor3]

We are from Northeast Ohio. What part of the state are you from?

[@drhobbs1669]

Central. Close to Mohican State Park

[@passionredux9115]

My first vacation i was 6 yo in 1965 Arcadia Inspiration Point had no stairs, railings, only 1 picnic table and one coin operated Binocular stand ... great memories.

[@RunawayAndSeemor3]

Wow. I'm sure it was just as beautiful. I had a hard time with the stairs. I couldn't imagine making it to the top without them. It may have taken me a minute or two. 🤣Thanks for watching. Also, we appreciate the feedback. 🌸
