    Some weekends,
    we crave the comforts of home in a park model or RV. On others though,
    campers are looking for that “pure” camping experience – tents, roasting
    marshmallows on actual sticks and getting back to nature. If you’re looking
    for that type of camping excursion, check out some of these great member
    campgrounds for pure camping:

    Troll Landing
    Campground

    West Branch,
    Michigan

    Merging from a cluster of lakes and
    small streams is a river unique is both its beauty and its mystery: Rifle
    River. Explore this and more when you stay at Troll Landing Campground. This
    campground offers a true outdoor experience with serene, wooded tent sites
    where you can relax plus kayaking, tubing and canoeing for when you’re ready
    for a bit more adventure.
