My nephew, James, and his wife, Heather, spend a lot of time camping in the summer. One of their favorite locations for camping is on Lake Michigan in the Upper Peninsula close to Historic Fayette, Michigan. I thank James for his beautiful photographs of the lake and woods.
Below is one of the furnaces in the remains of Fayette, a 19th Century community. The 711-acre Fayette Historic State Park blends both nature and history. The park features a historic townsite, harbor slips, a boat launch, a beach and campgrounds.

…this certainly is a beautiful destination.
It’s beautiful territory up there and your photos are wonderful.
James is a good photographer
Wow, those are some really lovely photos! What a beautiful area to camp.
Beautiful photos of this beachy area of the park on Lake Michigen. It looks like a shady, cool, and undcrowded place to relax on a hot summer day!
I can see why people from Michigan wax poetic about the UP. Beautiful photos and I love the clear water.
Good shots.
Wowza! Definitely a gorgeous place to visit. Nice job taking the photographs, James.
Beautiful pictures! My dad was from Michigan and I remember going up to Lake Michigan as a child.
It’s a beautiful, peaceful location.
Delightful place for a vacation!
beautiful landscape, beautiful images.
I guess water is to cold to swim in?
Living in Florida, I find all Michigan lakes cold. For Lake Michigan, swimming is generally allowed at designated beaches from Memorial Day to Labor Day, typically from 11 am to 7 pm when lifeguards are on duty. Besides temperature changes, there are rip currents and strong undertows.
So beautiful. A great place to camp and learn about history both. Alana ramblinwitham
What a beautiful place to be.
What a great location for a camping trip and beautiful photos! I am not a big fan of camping but even I would fancy going there!!
What a gorgeous place to stay and camp! Thanks to James for sharing such lovely captures. I love the one with the wall framing the view.
Have a great weekend, Carol.
We love the UP, but I don’t think we’ve ever been to that area. Beautiful!
It looks like a beautiful area for a camping trip. Please thank James and Heather for these great photos, and thanks for sharing them Carol. Have a great weekend!
Such lovely photos, the weather looks amazing. That’s the weather and scenery you want when camping.
Hi Carol. Althogh I am not a camper, the water views are so beautiful. It must be so nice to wake up to the views every morning. I would love to “glamp” I think that’s what it’s called, in this area. Pinned.
I agree glamping looks like great fun!
