Answer
You are asking for "dispersed camping" areas in a very broad region. The best opportunities you will find are on National Forest lands. Most of the places of the Upper Midwest are in the northern areas of Michigan, Wisconsin, and Minnesota. Contact the District Ranger Office in the area where you have an interest after you study the forest web-sites and look under: Recreation > Camping and Cabins > Dispersed Camping.

Great places for a 3 day backpacking trip in Northern Michigan?

A few friends and I are looking to set up a backpacking trip for this late spring/summer time.
We want to be able to tent out (without public camp sites.) Also would like it to be a few days trip.
Any ideas on where some good places are?
Northern Mchigan/UP but not too far west in the UP please.
Answer
Porcupine Mountains State Park. Hiawatha National Forest.
North Country National Scenic Trail, 83 miles.
From its point of entry near Ironwood, the North Country National Scenic Trail (NCT) soon enters Ottawa National Forest and Porcupine Mountains Wilderness State Park. Rivers, waterfalls, forested hills and ridges characterize the trail. Laughing Whitefish Falls and Rock River Falls and Canyon provide outstanding scenery as the trail continues eastward to Munising and Pictured Rocks National Lakeshore. The 40-mile Lakeshore Trail along the rock bluffs and sandy shore of Lake Superior provides outstanding vistas as well as primitive camping and hiking experiences. The trail continues eastward along the lake to Muskallonge State Park before turning south to Tahquamenon Falls State Park, where the second largest waterfall east of the Mississippi River and many smaller falls await the hiker. South of the park, the trail passes through Hiawatha National Forest on its way to Father Marquette National Memorial at the Straits of Mackinac. Trail users will find a side trip to Mackinac Island enjoyable.
