Michigan 4th Of July Camp - Mouth of the Two Hearted River – Part 1

This 4th of July, we skipped the fireworks and headed north — way north — to explore one of Michigan’s most legendary and remote destinations: the Mouth of the Two Hearted River.

In Part 1 of this 2-part journey, we take our truck camper deep into the Upper Peninsula backroads, setting up camp in wild country, cooking over open flame, and soaking in the freedom only solitude can bring.

From rough roads to cold riverbanks, this is what Independence Day looks like off the grid.

Whether you're a truck camper, an overlander, or just a fan of pure Michigan backcountry, you're in the right place.

👉 Stick around for Part 2, where we find an abandoned camp fire, cook some good food and boondock on the big lake.

📍 Filmed in the Upper Peninsula of Michigan
🔥 Powered by campfires, coffee, and no cell signal
