Midwest Equinox Encampment, Fall 2020, September 19 - 22, 2020
Escanaba River State Forest Boondocking, Michigan
Near Pictured Rocks National Lakeshore
On the weekend of September 19 - 22, 2020, there will be a non-organized non-event at the Escanaba River State Forest between Munising and Grand Marais, Michigan.
This is a non-organized non-event. There is no leader. Participants are asked to take action to engage and meet other campers by means of a secret password exchange that only participants know. The secret password question is "Have you seen Bob?" The secret password answer is "Not Yet!" Of course, if he shows up, just point at his rig.
Now that you know the secret password exchange, you are a valued member of the inner circle of Midwest nomads and CRVL forum members. To participate, join us at Escanaba River State Forest Boondocking on the weekend of September 19 to 22, 2020.
This site is a large gravel parking lot in a remote area. It is in a Michigan State Forest, which permits dispersed camping. The road in from Munising and Grand Marais is a paved road. The location is near Pictured Rocks National Lakeshore and the Grand Sable Dunes. These are national parks and may require fees to enter.
Please come prepared to Leave No Trace, Pack It In, Pack It Out and Leave It Cleaner Than You Found It. There are no toilets or trash containers in camp, so be prepared to primitive camp with no services, and take your trash with you. It is not recommended to build fires on the gravel parking lot. Charcoal grills and raised steel fire pits may be OK. There may be areas adjacent to the parking lot which may be used for ground firepits.
There is a no fee at this site. There is a 14 day limit. No reservations are necessary for the dispersed sites.
In this area, average temperatures in March are a high of 66F and a low of 47F. Let's hope for warm weather, but be prepared for chilly nights!

There are no activities planned, but we encourage inviting neighboring campers to potluck dinners. This event relies on YOU to invite other campers to join you by the fire and to share a meal. We highly encourage dutch oven and cast iron cooking experts to attend!
In order to identify yourself as part of the group, consider putting a CRVL sticker on your van: https://teespring.com/stores/cheaprvlivingstore
We look forward to seeing you!
