Winter Camping in Upper Michigan | Fun in the snow!

[@stingrayshark9373]

You have the right dog for the cold.

[@Trekers]

Hey! That's our rig at 16:32. We're in the group shots by the campfire, too. Thanks for highlighting this event, Mike and Jennifer; it's always a good time! 🙂

[@joeo7257]

I had no idea that they had so much to offer in the winter time. Have fun!

[@lauraweiss7875]

The UP is a magical place with a welcoming culture and plenty to do all year round - especially for hearty souls. I camped in a plywood shelter on the shores of Superior in the winter last year and just bought a 4-season trailer so I can visit more often. Thanks for sharing your experience!

[@louisag5410]

That was an absolute delight to watch....and I expect even more so for folks who were there... Nothing like crisp white snow and stillness that you get when in the wood in winter. What a great job putting this video together... you guys are living the dream for sure !!!!!

[@jackiehorn3724]

how fun!! I will be working for a few more January's, and that is our busy time with cold and flu season, would never get the time off work. Retire after two more January's, so perhaps then. Looks like a blast!! I am a hiker, and I have already in the short time I have been doing this how much fun it can be outdoors in the winter, if you prepare and have the right gear, and use your brain to keep safe. This is gonna have to go on my bucket list!!

[@nadlyadyson3715]

This look like soooooo much fun. Again, I live in MI and you'll are first videos I've seen. Thanks for showing our beautiful state.

[@camillacroxdale4976]

Beautiful video. Loved the shots of Bo playing in the snow.Looks like lots of fun

[@lineapearce1865]

Simply breathtaking ~ God’s creation!❄️

[@lynnej.9357]

What a beautiful and interesting video! Thanks!

[@theresaboothby8693]

What a terrific video. Definitely made me want to go winter camping very soon. Thanks so much for sharing. My favorite part was the snow angel "if your dog will let you." Go Bo! Safe travels.

[@dona62851]

I used to live up there on a 'gentleman's farm' in Levering. I loved it but driving 55 mph on slippery roads is a little crazy! I never did make it across the bridge. Chickened out every time!

[@tomflynn9551]

Thanks for sharing! Absolutely breathtaking! Enjoy!

[@joy2114]

Born and raised in Michigan, my heart will always be there. Up North is the place to be, so beautiful. Thanks for sharing!❤️

[@cheryl576]

I just came across your site. What a joy! I subscribed and will continue to follow. THUMBS UP!

[@davidbrickey5925]

You guys are braver than I. I love southern climate in the winter. With the average temperature of 50°. I have been to Michigan serval times. Love it in the summertime.

[@quietrestingplaces9172]

This was just magical! Thank you

[@jaclynrichmond1049]

So cool to see my first you tube video of roads ive traveled 😄 some of my best memories are climbing to the top bunk in the rv as we crossed the mackinaw bridge.

[@donnaschindlbeck7457]

Thank you for sharing such a breathtaking spot in Michigan. Wonderful still shots of Bo!

[@PeriWinkle33957]

❄️🚐💙Love everything about this! Thank you for sharing and I wish you continued fun in the snow!🌨☃️

[@lorenenoe4472]

Thanks for an excellent vid...I'm in south FL but sure miss the skiing, snow shoes and other UP winter joys. Stay warm and thanks for sparking my memories.

[@bittersweet6507]

Beautiful scenery - love the Falls. What a fun adventure .... Bo is in his element and gets to be a sled dog. Upper Peninsula is on my bucket list. Thank you for taking us along. -Susan in Maryland

[@RVLifestyle]

Thanks, Susan. Come along with us next year!

[@nanlphillips5907]

I just got a grab handle for our RV on Ebay. They sell RV items on there. I got a RV faucet too. Just thought folks would like to know. It's much more user friendly than Amazon.

[@tomrobinson2919]

One of the best RV lifestyle videos I've ever seen thanks a million....

[@vegnurse8173]

This video is great. I can’t wait to get in my Roadtrek Zion and hit the road. Maybe I’ll see you up there next year. Thanks for all the time you take in making these informative fun videos!

[@nfoss5656]

This was so pleasant to watch. I loved it.

[@natloreen]

Great video! Definitely made me interested in winter up there. Thanks for sharing!

[@billg1527]

Great video, we own 10 acres ten miles north of Manistique, love the UP !!

[@Flexmeister]

can't wait to join you guys someday

[@ashleycalloway9729]

Very nice I may try to go op there next year. Great video! Nice to know that the campground is open all year.

[@thecasualrver]

Beautiful, we love the UP. We live in SE Michigan and have never been to the UP in the winter with our rig. Watching this may change our minds. Thanks for sharing

[@rhombus20]

Really enjoy your channel and really love UP camping. We live at Exit 162 in Bay City. Wave next time you drive by! ;)

[@Trailblazers323]

👍🏽Great vid!

[@lindacluney446]

That was amazing video. I could never go camping where its sooo cooold! You make it look so easy. Am sure Bo loved the cold.

[@sandyoklahomatransient8557]

I'm from the UP, Marquette, and haven't been home in over 40 years. Watching your video made me want to go back and visit Lake Superior, and show my husband where I used to live.

[@eileengross1572]

This video is awesome! You all make it look so fun! I cant do the cold anymore for medical reasons but Love seeing the beautiful video! Thanks for sharing!

[@chrisczerwinski4830]

Glad to see that there is electric hookups still active in winter.

[@VansVanGestures]

Mildest winter I've seen in MI in a long time. Can't enjoy ice fishing in at this time. Great video, thanks for sharing.

[@thalleshoward3962]

It can get nasty with snow between Grayling and Gaylord.

[@NancyLudden2]

So true. That's a snow belt. Lots of ski memories from up that way. I'd never considered winter camping as an option. Yes. What about the question about running water availability??

[@charlesblount6858]

Wonderful! Thank you. It reminds me of the short winter days I speant in Alaska, and how much it meant to get outside and play and explore in the snow.

[@boblamothe8966]

Hope you were able to keep warm at night. Great video. Tks

[@tonymonicasplanbmichigan5842]

Living in Michigan, we've been to TF lots of time--even in the winter. It's beautiful all year round. Camping there looks like fun. I noticed all the campers are in Class B RV's. We have a TT and a Ford F-150. Hopefully we can meet up with you next January, as we'll be retired by then. Safe travels & happy camping!!

[@Trekers]

We have a variety of camping styles. The trip started with a group of Class B RVers so we tend to outnumber others, but we've had travel trailers, fifth wheels, and tents. Head on up next January, it's lots of fun!

[@GreeneGene33]

Welcome to the U.P.. from some Yooper's from Marquette.

[@daveeady8244]

Looks like a blast, we also love the U.P. What time of the month are you there I think we will join you next year.

[@madeinmichigan6773]

Awe! Welcome to my neck of the woods 😉 I live in Lower Michigan and absolutely love it up there. Have a blast but the temps are not going to be very nice next week. Well that's the forecast as of today anyways. Stay warm and safe travels 😉 Michelle 💖

[@kaypay9]

Hey, looks like a blast, I see our RT neighbor at Algonquin, gathering Chris at13.13

[@Shaun1959]

U r a great inspiration

[@sammiepuppy4196]

Thank you for sharing. Glad you had a great time. Love that area. Camped there in the early fall, simply beautiful. A lot different than Florida😃. Safe travels.

[@RusticNatureReimagined]

Wow I would love to do this one year!

[@RVLifestyle]

We'll be back up there the second or third weekend in January next year. reservations don't open until six months before but as soon as they do, I'll post it on the RV Lifestyle Blog (rvlifestyle.com). Honest, it's really fun. It got down one night to five below zero (F), but inside the RV, it was toasty warm at 73.

[@kathmcgeary9228]

I enjoyed this video so much. It brought back memories of when hubby and I were in Michigan. We crossed the Mighty MAC in a Roaster with the top down. You probably guessed we were there in the summer. I wondered what the UP would look like in the winter. Thanks for taking me along on your trip.

[@davidblessing8724]

Wow , this video is awesome ! Love it . Thanks for sharing ! WE love the UP ....Enjoy

[@bobsimcox1194]

Would love to join you all next January but my wife said you wouldn't catch her up there in that cold! LOL

[@amatocraigfamilyama8390]

Bravo!

[@debbie10stars]

Thank you for a beautiful journey ❤️❤️❤️

[@jfreeham]

Hello, thank you for the beautiful video! We're from northern Ohio, on Lake Erie, and live in the lower Midwest, where winter and snow are rare. We miss the Great Lakes and winter (people here, who have never lived there, don't understand our longing). Skiing. Nordic skiing. Silently gliding through the forest is a contemplative delight. Our question is: when camping in an RV in the winter, what do you do about water sources? Are there frost free water pumps in the state park? Again, thank you for the taking us on your journey. (I remember going across the bridge soon after it was opened. I think there were only four other cars on the bridge. At least that is what my parents told me.)

[@NicoVeenkamp]

Awesome!

[@shelahstanford1091]

Hi Mike and Jennifer! Loved the video, looks like you had a great time. I was just wondering what kind of dog you have? Is he an Akita? He is gorgeous!

[@tomflynn9551]

NO BLACK FLYS! Yeah!

[@curemeister7443]

Excellent video. Such a nice relief from the sun sun sun ones from Florida and Arizona. Do you have any concerns about road salt damage to the undercarriage of the van. We live in upstate NY and road salt is a major problem here with vehicle damage in just a few years. Even with washing beneath our trucks as often as the weather will allow, after 5 years we're already replacing parts. Maybe Michigan just isn't as free flowing with salt as New York is.

[@pamt6829]

You can get gloves that work with your touch screen, nice to have in the cold. Great video.

[@Dave-zl2ky]

I would love to camp there.

[@716lvwed]

Looks like a beautiful place to visit.

[@ronwolford3782]

Happy you having having so much fun. Beautiful place but I'm going to stay here in south Texas.

[@davidreyburn5548]

Awesome! That looked like a lot more fun than I thought it would be. Living in northern Indiana I've been to all those places but in the summer. I've thought about doing a snowmobile vacation up there but like my RV dreams still hasn't happened. Your dog was certainly made for that kind of outdoor climate

[@treeclimbing7798]

Nice views. Always luved the drive along US 2

[@teresaemmerson9599]

Wow, so beautiful. I’m quite envious. We don’t get this type of snow in the UK very often. Definitely on my bucket list to visit when we retire. I may have to do two visits, one in the winter and one in the summer. Bo is very handsome. We have a Labrador named Tilly and she loves coming camping with us, especially to the beach 👍

[@juliegage6322]

Great vlog, thank you!

[@theroamingrambler]

I really like your entire videos! It is actually very creative. We were in recent weeks in Tulum, and it was striking, I only created some drone video clips of my exploration there!

[@debrahayes2572]

Born in Michigan. Moved to Texas to escape those long cold winter's. It is beautiful though!😊

[@haroldgatlin1332]

How does the water do about freezing in your rig at those temps.

[@phyllishiggs2587]

What a beautiful dog. What brees is it?

[@judyp4421]

Poor Bo must be miserable in the heat when you go to Ft. Walton Beach! For me, I’ll take the warm, sunny beach in Florida! It is beautiful in the UP in winter though!❄️❄️❄️❄️⛄️⛄️⛄️⛄️

[@AbdulAbulbulAmir]

Walk your dog? He was walking you. Great place.

[@treeclimbing7798]

11:15 in 1972 we could & did walk under and on top of the Falls Last of the Mohicans reminded me of that experience.

[@cindyfleer2248]

What is the music in the opening? I really like it.

[@jeandecker4073]

That must be a fantastic time. Is there other ways to get to the UP other then the bridge. Have you ever had a class A join you? I would be concerned about taking a class A over the bridge on a windy day. Thanks for sharing.

[@billg1527]

Hi Jean, Native Michigander here, you can go thru Canada or get there from Wisconsin.

[@NancyLudden2]

We keep our RV in the middle lane when we cross the bridge in the wind. 😎

[@Snickers_GLNY]

Nice

[@brendaschroeder2166]

Jennifer's mic is really crackly at the beginning of the video. Beautiful scenery

[@debrahayes2572]

How much solar do you have on your van and what are you able to run with it?

[@maeu59]

What do you guys do about showering?

[@NancyLudden2]

You must have heated water tanks. Grey and black also. Water questions.

[@bills396]

Keep the change, After watching you pay the bridge toll I now know why the amount in my wallet doesn't match the dollars in my accounting register.
