You'll be driving into Urban Sprawl Hell. Ann Arbor is really cool and
has a lot of arts and culture based activities. That is to the point
that everyone is making *way* too much money and can afford to keep
one-up-ing each other with their houses away from city center. I'm
waiting for them to turn one whole field or oak savanna into *one*
house. :)

Here's a few places close by tho:
http://www.annarbor.org/visitorsguide/camping.html

If rustic is your thing (a Pit toilet is the most modern convenience
;)... I've stayed at Waterloo. It's very quiet if it isn't hunting
season and has a lake right next to it. Pretty easy access back onto
I-94 as well. It's part of the Pinckney State Wildlife Area and has
fantastic sand dunes, kettle hole lakes and trails. I think it was only
$10 per night once we paid for the car and everything :)

If you can tolerate drunks, the KOA at Monroe would be fine and is
*right* by US-23 to get you back to the convention in a rush. They have
a copper treated lake with a big tunnel slide for the kidos. I'm sure
the KOA Detroit is the same deal.

Never heard of Maple Hill. Whitmore lake is back out in the Oak
Savanna/Dunes tho so it could be pretty nice.
