I've camped on the Pictured Rocks lakeshore a couple times.  I used a standard
tent and backpack (and froze at night until I discovered down).

I do medieval camping (pavilion instead of tent) several times per year at
SCA events.  It's lots of fun.  Pennsic is coming up.  That event gets around
13,000 people, and it's all medieval period camping.  No electricity,
plumbing, etc.  We're insane, but it's fun.
