Suggestions for travel around


Since we chose a trip arrangement of three days and two nights, we plan to play in the surrounding towns during the next day.The more popular attractions around are: Holland town, Indiana Dunes National Park.



This time we chose two lakeside towns that are more recommended by locals.South Haven and St. Joseph.


South Haven is relatively close, about half an hour by car.

Due to its location on Lake Michigan, South Haven has always been an important port city.The main routes have always passed through here, and it was called a resort town in the early 1900s.Known as "The Catskills of The midwest".

The small lakeside park is very European, haha.

Downtown: There are many restaurants and small shops. It is a good experience to stroll around, buy a cup of coffee or have lunch.

After a while, we went back to the cabin and continued BBQ at night! Camping does not have toasted marshmallows, the temperature is lower at night, but it is really warm around the campfire!



On the third day, I woke up naturally, and the check out time was 11 o'clock at noon. After packing up, I was ready to return to Chicago.On the way back, we chose to come to St. Joseph for lunch and sunbathe at the Beach. I have to say that American children are really not afraid of the cold, and there are people playing in the water with the breeze blowing by the lake.

At three o'clock in the afternoon, fill up the gas and drive back to Chicago!


How about, this detailed three days and two nights Getaway is not very exciting to you!My heart is not as good as my heart. Book now!
