If you are looking for affordable family vacation ideas, here are our top ten tips for Michigan vacation travel.

1. Be as flexible as possible. If you are willing to travel on any date, you can discover great savings on last-minute travel to top Michigan locations even during peak season.

2. Rent a Condo. It may seem to be more expensive than a hotel room, but if you have a kitchen, then you can avoid the cost of eating at restaurants!

3. Travel after Peak Season. Take advantage of lower rates by traveling in the fall. Michigan has some nice train excursions, color tours, harvest festivals, wagon rides, corn mazes and other things to do at affordable prices.

4. Visit off-the-beaten-path destinations. Some of the nicest places in Michigan are the some of the least known. Do a little research to find these wonderful places and spend a lot less.

5. Rent a Home. In some places you can rent a 4 bedroom cottage on a beach with a boat for a week for less than a weekend stay at a popular hotel.

6. Don't Drive Too Far. If you already live in Michigan, some of the most enjoyable places are probably right near you. Don't be afraid to stay close to home.

7. Try Camping. Why not put up a tent or rent a cabin rather than book a hotel room? Michigan campgrounds are some of the best anywhere.

8. Stay nearby. Don't stay in the priciest spot. Pick a nearby town. You will save on your accommodations and avoid the crowds.

9. Try luxury resorts. There are plenty of luxury vacation packages throughout Michigan to allow the whole family to enjoy luxury and save a little money! You might be surprised at just how affordable these resorts can be.

10. Use the Internet to find your affordable family vacation. You can often find the best bargains and the cheapest rates online.
