Campground review, dream big everybody. Last Memorial Day we made a reservation over at Lake Michigan Campground in Hayawatha National Forest right on US 2. It was absolutely beautiful right on the sand dunes and really nice little campground. However we did not realize that a Memorial Day last year that we would be invaded by some pest and when we got out of our truck we could not even breathe. We needed a gas mask. We had these little guys that were attacking us. These miserable creatures are called midges or maflies. I guess in the spring after the thaw once it starts warming up their sole purpose is to feed all the hungry fish after a very long hard winter. I would highly recommend anyone going to the upper peninsula mid-May all the way through the first of June to kind of check with their campground especially if they're lake shore campgrounds to see if possibly they have an invasion of these maflies. We were so disgusted we could not even set up our trailer that we pulled or truck immediately out of the campground and even though we were not going to get a refund for the weekend we were gonna leave. We were like this is not happening and again this was Memorial Weekend up over the bridge on US 2 at the Lake Michigan National Lake Shore at the Hayawatha National Forest Campground. Anyway unfortunately we were like on our way back to the bridge and we were gonna come back down state and find a campground that we could stay at for the weekend on a holiday weekend. Big joke and we called the Hayawatha National Forest Service and explained to them and they were fully aware they and nobody wanted to see it that campground because they were being swarmed and so they offered us another campsite over at Breivort which was about two miles down the road and about a mile north of Lake Michigan so it was still in the close proximity of where we were gonna stay. We were a little skeptical about I am so glad that we ended up going to that campground. It was absolutely beautiful and there was not a single fly around which was amazing to me and it was right on a lake a fishing lake and we really had a great time so I am so glad so if things like this happen to you make sure that you do call the National Forest sometimes when they're aware of these situations they will do the best that they can to relocate you. Breivort campground is part of the Hayawatha National Forest right off the US to north of Lake Michigan in the upper peninsula. It is a wonderful little campground and we highly recommend it. When you pull in there is a sanitation system off to the right you're gonna want to make a pit stop there so you can fill up on your potable water as you go in. There is a pay station right beyond that where you can register for your camping and also pay for your stay. When we got in there we had an absolutely beautiful spacious campsite it had a fire pit and it was right on the lake it was campsite I think number 19 it was absolutely beautiful. It seemed to be a real family friendly campground. One thing that I was impressed is they actually had restrooms with electricity, washing toilets and showers so you can have a hot shower while you're there. For the National Forest campground I thought it was absolutely beautiful. So here are a few shots over stay there. I'm gonna quit talking but we really thoroughly enjoyed it. It's in the upper peninsula. You're gonna want to bring like a generator or something like that as the campsites do not have power but it's a really wonderful campground and definitely we'll stay here again. That amazing sunset was at Brevort. Brevort is just a couple minutes away from St. Agnes and Sarge and I decided to go stop at Castle Rock and we climbed I don't know how many stairs to get all the way to the top and we made it and oh my goodness the views of Mac not Island and the streets and the bridge were just amazing. You felt like you were on top of the world. This was a fabulous place to stop and visit and no there were no Mayflies up there. We were too far up. Down the road is a place called Mystery Spot and you can go there it's quite a unique phenomenon. After Castle Rock Sarge and I decided to drive across the bridge and we ended up going east of the bridge through Macnaugh City towards Shavoygan. There was a bridge view wayside that we stopped at and we got these incredible shots. They had a beautiful place to picnic right there on the lake and you could see the bridge. It was absolutely phenomenal. We absolutely loved our little weekend adventure to the upper peninsula across the bridge and Macnaugh City. There's a lot to do in this area. I just highly recommend that you do call ahead again if you're going and mid-day through the beginning of June and just double check on the status of those Mayflies. I guess they do swarm in the area once a year and it is normally for a period of a week to 10 days that they swarm. But anyway I hope you like this little review of this cap ground in our Memorial Day experience. It's cool in across the bridge of Michigan.
