Any recommendations for rustic, wooded campgrounds in lower Michigan??

Can anyone give me suggestions and opinions on any great wooded/rustic campgrounds in Lower Michigan (west side of the state near Grand Rapids or Lansing) I’m looking for something rustic with wooded campsites, not in the middle of the woods, but not on a public beach with overcrowded campsites. Someplace on a lake, or a close walk/hike to a lake. We have 2 very small children so a little runoff of a lake would be very nice, something not so deep for the kids to play in – not necessary but would be a great +. We want someplace where we can take walks in trails, swim, sit around a campfire and enjoy the peace. Also, small private sandy shores would be great…although I don’t want to expect too much. Rustic though, no golf courses or big pools… c’mon, that’s not camping.

It doesn’t have to have a huge playground either but a small one would be helpful, again…not necessary. Please give your opinions on places you’ve stayed, or places you’ve heard of. THANKS!

The website below may help.

I suggest Ludington State Park. yes, lots of people but they also have an expanded rustic section and there are miles of beach available or Hamlin Lake. There are also some modern campgrounds that charge a fee or 2-3 dollars for showers. (for those others reading)

You can sort by Rustic and your County or Counties and the amenities you mention above.
