81 RV Sites, 2 Cabins, 18 Tent Sites

Walnut Hills Family Campground in Durand, Michigan, offers 81 RV sites, two cabins, and 18 tent sites across 45 acres on the Shiawassee River, with 30 and 50-amp service.

Eighty-one sites span full hookup 50-amp, water-and-electric 30-amp, water-and-electric 50-amp, water-and-electric beachfront 30-amp, and water-and-electric riverfront categories, carrying water, sewer, and electric where noted, with fire pits and picnic tables.

Two cabins and 18 tent sites round out the lodging. A general store, dump station, showers, firewood, and bike rentals handle the practical side. Two billing details: power is billed monthly based on usage, and the seasonal site season runs May 1 through October 20.

Jellystone Park™ North Port Huron

67 Cabins

Jellystone Park at North Port Huron sits directly on the shoreline of Lake Huron in Carsonville, Michigan, delivering a Great Lakes lakefront camping experience anchored by the full Yogi Bear's Jellystone entertainment franchise. The park's position on M-25—the scenic lakeshore highway that traces the Michigan Thumb—puts guests within sight and sound of one of the Great Lakes, with a sandy swimming beach opening directly onto jellystone port huron's wide blue horizon. The Water Zone drives the daytime action: a multi-level splashpad, giant water slides, a floating water obstacle course, and jumping pillows keep kids occupied through the hottest Michigan summer days. The resort pool, an 18-hole miniature golf course, outdoor laser tag arena, and game room extend the activity options into the evening, and the Campfire Café serves pizza, burgers, and chicken tenders alongside homemade ice cream from the Camp Store. Paddle boat rentals offer a quieter way to explore the lake's edge, and golf cart rentals let guests move between the resort's sections with ease. Full hookup RV sites, tent sites, and rustic cabins with full kitchens and private bathrooms provide accommodation options at multiple price points. Lake Huron's shoreline at this stretch of the Michigan Thumb is characterized by clean sandy beaches, relatively calm water, and the wide open horizon that makes the Great Lakes feel genuinely oceanic. Carsonville is one of the quieter communities along the Lake Huron coast, which means the lakeshore around Jellystone Park North Port Huron retains a relaxed, uncrowded character that's harder to find at some of Michigan's more commercialized beach towns. The Thumb's agricultural interior—cherry orchards, bean fields, and small Victorian-era towns—provides a distinctly Midwestern backdrop just a few miles inland from the resort's beach. Port Huron, at the southern tip of the Thumb where Lake Huron drains into the St. Clair River, is about an hour south and anchors the region's commercial activity with waterfront dining, the Blue Water Bridge crossing to Sarnia, Ontario, and the Fort Gratiot Lighthouse—the oldest lighthouse in Michigan. Sanilac County's shoreline is dotted with small harbors, lighthouses, and public beach access points. The Sanilac Petroglyphs State Historic Site preserves ancient Native American carvings on exposed limestone, one of Michigan's most unusual and overlooked archaeological sites that provides a genuinely educational detour from a beach camping trip. Jellystone Park North Port Huron runs a full summer season from Memorial Day through Labor Day, with character events, foam parties, candy bar bingo, and dance parties structured around peak summer family camping weeks. Lake Huron's beach season aligns well with the resort calendar, and fishing and water recreation extend the appeal into the shoulder seasons for adult campers. Cabin reservations fill quickly for summer weekends, and the combination of Great Lakes beachfront access with the Jellystone entertainment package makes this one of the stronger all-in-one family camping experiences available on Michigan's eastern shoreline.

Leisure Lake Cottage & RV Resort

Leisure Lake Cottage and RV Resort in Kingsville, Ontario, provides a lakefront family camping and cottage resort on Lake Erie's north shore in Essex County, positioned at the heart of Canada's southernmost wine and agricultural region where the lake's moderating climate produces the viticultural conditions that have made the surrounding Pelee Island and Lake Erie North Shore wine appellation Ontario's warmest and most distinctly Mediterranean-influenced wine country. Kingsville's position at the same latitude as northern California and the southern edges of France creates the seasonal climate that supports not only wine grapes but also the tomato greenhouses and agricultural diversity that distinguish Essex County from every other Ontario county in agricultural character and landscape. The resort's facility delivers complete cottage-resort camping for families and adult couples: a gated entrance, full hookup sites, cottage rentals, a beach on Lake Erie, an outdoor pool and splash pad, mini-golf, paddle boats, a game room, craft room, planned activities and entertainment, basketball, shuffleboard, horseshoes, volleyball, playground, pavilion, a general store, propane fills, laundry, showers, bathrooms, dump station, and Wi-Fi provide organized recreation for multi-day family vacation stays with the cottage alternative that makes the resort accessible to non-RV guests. The fishing on Lake Erie—one of the most productive walleye fisheries in the world—provides the adult outdoor recreation that supplements the resort's family activity programming. Point Pelee National Park, approximately 15 minutes west of Kingsville, is Canada's most famous bird migration concentration point—the southernmost tip of the Canadian mainland juts into Lake Erie in a funnel that concentrates spring and fall bird migrants in numbers that make Point Pelee one of North America's premier birding destinations, drawing ornithologists and amateur birders from across the continent each May when the warbler migration peaks in numbers that can produce 30 or more warbler species in a single morning walk through the park's Carolinian forest ecosystem. The park's beach and the boardwalk through the point's marsh habitat provide year-round natural area access beyond the migration spectacle. The Lake Erie North Shore wine appellation's wineries between Leamington and Amherstburg produce the most distinctly warm-climate Ontario wines—the region's heat accumulation and the lake's late-season thermal moderation allow the full ripening of cabernet franc, merlot, and the ice wine grapes that freeze reliably in the November cold snaps that Lake Erie's shoreline delivers after the growing season's exceptional warmth. Pelee Island Winery's mainland operation in Kingsville and the island winery accessible by ferry from Leamington represent the wine trail anchor experiences that make a Kingsville-area stay particularly rewarding for wine-oriented camping guests. Leisure Lake Cottage and RV Resort operates seasonally from spring through fall in Essex County's Great Lakes climate, with the summer season from late June through Labour Day delivering the resort's peak family activity and the Point Pelee beach's Lake Erie swimming conditions that the shallow lake's rapid warming makes available in July and August. The spring May Point Pelee birding migration is the region's most distinctive seasonal spectacle, drawing nature-focused guests in numbers that fill Essex County accommodation during the peak warbler weeks, and the fall harvest season's winery programming extends meaningful tourism visitation into October in one of Ontario's most underappreciated regional tourism corridors.

The Oaks Campground

The Oaks Campground in Munith, Michigan, delivers the classic southern Michigan lake camping experience — mature oak shade, a clear swimming lake with a sandy beach, and the wide-open natural character that vanishes quickly once you enter the urban footprint of Detroit, Ann Arbor, or Jackson. Tucked in Jackson County's rural southeast corner, the campground sits within easy reach of the region's three largest population centers, making it one of the more practically located weekend escapes for families across the metro area who want lake access without a five-hour drive north. RV sites, tent camping, and cabin accommodations give guests a range of options across the well-maintained grounds, and the swimming lake with its sandy beach functions as the campground's heart through the summer months. The beach is the gathering point from morning until late afternoon — sandy enough for sandcastle construction, shallow enough at the entry for young children, and clear enough that the bottom is visible well beyond wading depth. An Aquaglide floating water park was planned for addition to the lake, bringing inflatable slides and obstacle challenges to the swimming area and adding a competitive water play dimension to what is already a strong beach environment. The dog park, campground store, and recreational areas fill out the on-site amenity picture. Pets are welcome. The surrounding Jackson County landscape is quiet rural Michigan — old oak and hickory forest, farm fields, and the gently rolling glacial terrain that defines the southern Lower Peninsula's geography. Deer, wild turkey, and the occasional fox are regular presences around the campground perimeter, and the birding from a quiet camp chair along the lake shore in early morning is rewarding in a way that the region's proximity to large cities rarely suggests. Waterloo Recreation Area, one of Michigan's largest state recreation areas with over 200 lakes and extensive trail networks, is within easy range for guests who want to extend their outdoor activities beyond the campground. Ann Arbor's cultural and culinary scene — the University of Michigan's campus, the Ann Arbor Farmers Market, and a restaurant row consistently ranked among the best in Michigan — provides urban depth within a half-hour drive. The Henry Ford Museum of American Innovation in Dearborn and Detroit's resurgent arts and food district are accessible for guests building a multi-day itinerary that combines lake camping with metropolitan day trips. Jackson's own Ella Sharp Museum and the cascading waterfall system at Cascades Falls Park add local options closer to camp. The Oaks Campground operates through the Michigan camping season from late spring through fall, with summer weekends filling quickly as families from Ann Arbor, Jackson, and the greater Detroit metro area claim their regular sites. The lake swimming and beach scene peak from late June through August, when water temperatures are ideal and the campground reaches its full social energy. Reserve early for holiday weekend stays, and ask about current water park availability when booking to confirm the lake attraction lineup for your specific dates.

Tawas River RV Park

100 RV Sites

Tawas River RV Park in Tawas City, Michigan, offers 100 RV sites along the Tawas River near Lake Huron's Saginaw Bay, with 30 and 50-amp service and rigs accepted to 42 feet. Full-hookup back-in, water-and-electric back-in, and water-and-electric pull-through categories join a boat ramp, beach, library, and game room. One hundred sites run in back-in full hookup, water-and-electric back-in, and water-and-electric pull-through categories, carrying water, sewer, and electric where noted on 30 and 50-amp, sized to 42 feet. Check which category you are booking — not every site carries sewer. A laundry, restrooms, showers, and RV storage handle the practical side. A boat ramp gives direct river access for boating, canoeing, kayaking, and fishing, with a beach on the property and a pond and lake nearby. A library, game room, walking trails, pavilion, and horseshoes fill the grounds, with planned activities through the season. Pets are welcome. The setting is what distinguishes it. Tawas City sits in Iosco County on the western shore of Saginaw Bay, and the park occupies the Tawas River's final miles before it reaches the bay — the riparian and estuarine transition that makes this one of Michigan's most productive areas for fishing and birding. Tawas Point State Park's lighthouse and the migratory bird traffic through the point are both close. Summer is decisively the season in northeast lower Michigan, with fall color and the fishing runs extending demand. Reserve well ahead for July and August.

Northern Sites Campground

1 RV Site

Along the Cedar River in Gladwin County's quiet inland lake country, Northern Sites Campground in Beaverton, Michigan provides a river and sandy beach camping experience in the heart of Michigan's Lower Peninsula—a region of wooded uplands, small lakes, and snowmobile trails that has served outdoor enthusiasts from the Midwest's industrial cities for generations. The campground's twin sandy swimming beaches on the Cedar River, tubing access from River Road to the campground, and kayaking on one of the Lower Peninsula's most enjoyable inland rivers give Northern Sites its primary recreational identity as a water-activity destination in a setting that keeps the natural character of Gladwin County's forested terrain front and center. Sites with 30 and 50-amp electrical service accommodate RVs of various sizes, with some sites including water hookups alongside the electric service and access to three on-property drinking water stations. Two distinct sandy beach areas along the Cedar River provide separate spaces for swimming, tubing, kayaking, and bank fishing, and the river's clear, gentle flow supports a tubing route from the River Road Trailhead to the campground that families return for each summer. A well-stocked general store, clean bathhouse with showers, and a small playground serve the practical and recreational support needs of a camping community that values the riverfront setting above resort-style amenities, and a nearby splash park provides an additional water play option for children. The Cedar River's run through Gladwin County provides one of Michigan's most accessible inland tubing and kayaking experiences—a float of moderate length through shaded hardwood bottomland with a gentle current appropriate for all ages. ORV trails on the surrounding state land provide mountain biking and off-road riding access in the upland terrain above the river valley for guests who want land-based exploration to complement the morning on the water. The campground's river position also makes it excellent territory for shore fishing—smallmouth bass, rock bass, and panfish inhabit the shaded pools and riffles throughout the campground's river frontage. The Gladwin County lakes district surrounding Beaverton encompasses dozens of small glacial lakes within a short drive, providing additional fishing, boating, and swimming options for guests who want variety beyond the Cedar River. Sanford Lake, a few miles west in Midland County, represents one of the region's most productive bass fishing destinations, and the surrounding agricultural and forest character of the central Lower Peninsula gives the Beaverton area a genuine north-woods feel that rewards guests who want Michigan without the resort pricing of Traverse City and Petoskey. The town of Beaverton's small-town infrastructure—hardware stores, diners, and farm supply shops—provides the practical services extended-stay campers need. Northern Michigan's warm-season camping aligns with the tubing, swimming, and fishing seasons from late May through early September, with July and August delivering the warmest river temperatures and the most active family camping traffic on the Cedar River. Fall brings excellent fishing conditions and the spectacular Michigan hardwood foliage that the surrounding Gladwin County uplands display in full color from late September through mid-October. Snowmobile access on the regional trail network makes the Beaverton area a viable winter destination for Michigan's enthusiastic snowmobile touring community, extending the campground's useful season beyond the typical Midwest camping window into the snowy months.

Somerset Beach Campground and Retreat Center

146 RV Sites, 4 Cabins

Somerset Beach Campground and Retreat Center in Somerset Center, Michigan, offers 146 RV sites and four cabins across 226 acres on a private lake, with 30-amp electric service and rigs accepted to 50 feet, open all year. A zip line, indoor climbing wall, disc golf course, and on-site fishing guides have served guests here since 1982. One hundred forty-six back-in sites carry 30-amp electric service, sized to 50 feet, with site WiFi — note these are electric only, with no water or sewer at the sites, so plan tank capacity and use the dump station. Four cabins round out the lodging. Restrooms, showers, and RV storage handle the practical side. The recreation range is genuinely unusual for a Michigan campground. A private lake with a beach and boat docks supports swimming, boating, paddle boats, paddle boarding, canoeing, kayaking, and fishing, with on-site fishing guides available. A zip line, indoor climbing wall, disc golf course, tennis, basketball, volleyball, gaga ball, shuffleboard, ping pong, and horseshoes fill the grounds, with miles of hiking trails across the 226 acres, a recreation center, craft room, playground, and pavilion besides. Skiing is nearby. The property also operates as a retreat center and wedding venue. Pets are welcome. Directions from Ann Arbor and Detroit: take I-94 west to exit 142 (Hudson), south on US-127 about 15 miles, right onto US-12, then about four miles west. Summer is the peak. Reserve ahead, and plan around the electric-only sites.

Camp Deer Trails

29 RV Sites, 8 Cabins, 7 Tent Sites

On the shores of Long Lake in Clare County, Michigan, Camp Deer Trails spreads across 140 wooded acres encompassing three distinct beach areas, a network of nature trails, and accommodation options from RV sites to log cabin rentals—all within the quiet inland lake country of Michigan's Lower Peninsula, at a latitude that marks the traditional boundary between the state's agricultural south and its pine-forested north. Harrison, the Clare County seat, sits at the geographic center of the Lower Peninsula's tourism corridor between Houghton Lake—Michigan's largest inland lake—and the commercial resort activity of Mount Pleasant, giving Long Lake and the surrounding area a more secluded character than the higher-profile destinations nearby. The 140-acre property ensures that the lakefront never feels crowded regardless of occupancy. RV sites, rustic campsites, and ten cabin rentals with a variety of configurations accommodate the full range of camping preferences, with cabins providing both basic shelter options and more fully furnished retreats for guests who prefer comfort over tent sleeping. Three separate beach areas on Long Lake—an all-sports lake with swimming, fishing, boating, and water skiing—distribute the water activity across the property's generous shoreline and prevent the crowding that single-beach campgrounds encounter during peak summer weekends. Outdoor hot-water showers, regularly maintained restrooms, and the indoor lodge's ceremony and event infrastructure make Camp Deer Trails a year-round community gathering place for family reunions, weddings, and organized group camping that goes well beyond the typical campground use case. Long Lake's all-sports designation supports the full spectrum of water recreation—fishing for bass, pike, and panfish in the clear inland lake, kayaking and canoeing along the wooded shoreline, swimming from the sandy beaches, and motorized boating from the on-property launch area. Archery, geocaching, nature study programs, and backcountry camping trails on the 140-acre property extend the outdoor activity menu well into the surrounding woodland terrain away from the lakeshore. Cross-country skiing and snowshoeing on the trail network during the winter season give the property a year-round outdoor identity that makes it substantially more than a summer-only camping destination. Harrison's surrounding Clare County landscape is defined by the inland lakes and river systems of the central Lower Peninsula—a terrain shaped by glacial action into a geography of kettle lakes, river moraines, and upland pine and hardwood forests that support one of Michigan's most active outdoor recreation economies. Houghton Lake, the state's largest inland lake, lies about 20 miles north and provides an enormous fishing and water sports destination drawing boaters and anglers from across the Midwest during the summer season. The Muskegon and Cedar Rivers both have headwater origins in the Clare County region, providing canoe and kayak routing through the central Lower Peninsula's most scenic river country. The warm-season camping program at Camp Deer Trails centers on the summer months of June through August, when Long Lake's swimming beaches and the cabin rental program operate at peak demand. Spring and fall offer fishing conditions that surpass the summer months—bass and pike activity on Long Lake peaks in the cooler water of May and September-October, and the fall foliage across Clare County's hardwood uplands in late September and October rivals anything in Michigan's better-known northern resort communities. Reserve cabin accommodations and lakeview sites well in advance for July and August, and consider mid-week options during peak summer season for more relaxed availability and quieter beach conditions throughout the day.

Harbor Cove RV Resort

155 RV Sites

Harbor Cove RV Resort in Coldwater, Michigan, offers 155 full-hookup RV sites on 2,000 feet of shoreline, with 30 and 50-amp service and rigs accepted to 45 feet behind a gated entrance. A waterfront back-in category joins standard back-in and pull-through tiers, with a private boat launch, boat docks, pontoon and kayak rentals, and a banquet facility. One hundred fifty-five sites run in back-in, pull-thru, and waterfront back-in categories, all carrying water, sewer, and electric on 30 and 50-amp with site WiFi, sized to 45 feet, with fire pits and picnic tables. The waterfront category is the one to request. A general store, laundry, propane fills and exchange, restrooms, showers, firewood, and boat storage handle the practical side. A 2,000-square-foot banquet facility with on-site catering sits on the property, and the resort operates as a wedding venue. A private boat launch, boat docks, boat rentals, and kayak rentals open the water for boating, paddle boats, paddle boarding, canoeing, kayaking, fishing, and swimming, with a beach on site. A recreation center, sports courts, pickleball, volleyball, basketball, horseshoes, corn hole, a pond, playground, pavilion, and community fire pit fill the rest, with planned activities through the season and a golf course, water park, and wine tasting nearby. The lake access is what distinguishes it: Branch County's glacial topography left a chain of seven interconnected lakes reachable by boat from the resort's own launch. Summer lake season drives demand. Reserve well ahead for June through August.

Driftwood Beach Resort

20 RV Sites, 3 Cabins, 10 Tent Sites, 2 Cottages, 2 Lodges

On the clear, spring-fed waters of Lakelet Lake in Wellington County, Ontario, Driftwood Beach Resort offers a genuine Canadian cottage-country camping experience in a region that sits within practical driving distance of the Kitchener-Waterloo and Guelph population centers but feels thoroughly removed from the urban Ontario world in character and pace. Part of the Summerhill Resorts family, the resort anchors itself on Lakelet's exceptional water quality—a spring-fed lake with depths exceeding 40 feet and remarkable clarity that supports healthy populations of bass, perch, and trout—and a shoreline combination of sandy beaches and gravel-bottom shallows that makes it suitable for swimmers of every age and confidence level. For families and couples looking for the quintessential Ontario lake vacation without driving three hours north, Driftwood provides a compelling answer. The resort's waterfront character drives everything about the guest experience. Sandy beaches with the kind of firm, clean bottom that barefoot swimming requires provide the primary warm-weather gathering space, and the spring-fed water's exceptional clarity gives both swimmers and anglers exceptional visibility in the lake's shallower zones. Bass, yellow perch, and lake trout populate the deeper water, and the resort's dock and boat access infrastructure support anglers who want to work the lake methodically across multiple mornings. Hiking trails wind through the surrounding woodland for guests who want land-based exploration, and a wildlife viewing dimension—herons, ospreys, painted turtles, and the white-tailed deer that water at the lake margins in the evening—comes as standard with the waterfront setting. Modern resort facilities serve the practical needs of an extended stay, and organized activities and special events through the season create the kind of campground community programming that makes a week go quickly in the best possible way. Lakelet Lake's spring-fed character gives it a water temperature and clarity that distinguishes it from the more turbid lakes of southern Ontario's agricultural plains. The surrounding Wellington County landscape—gently rolling countryside, heritage stone farmhouses, and the modest forest cover of the Ontario uplands—provides a pastoral backdrop that is immediately and genuinely restful. The lake's relative modesty in size gives it an intimate quality; you can take it in from the beach and feel oriented to the whole body of water in a way that larger resort lakes don't allow. The Kitchener-Waterloo region, within manageable driving distance to the south, provides the urban infrastructure that supports a longer stay—grocery provisioning, the St. Jacobs farmers' market (one of the largest outdoor farmers' markets in Canada), and the cultural programming of the twin cities. Guelph and the University of Guelph campus add another cultural anchor in the region, and the Grand River Conservation Authority's trail system provides additional hiking and cycling access through the Waterloo Region countryside. Wellington County's heritage towns, local artisan producers, and pastoral cycling routes give guests with open days a rural Ontario itinerary worth following. Driftwood Beach Resort operates from May through October in alignment with the Ontario camping season, and summer weekends fill quickly with the Kitchener-Waterloo and Guelph family market that values the resort's proximity and water quality. Waterfront sites book earliest, and reservations for the July and August peak period should be made as early in the season as possible. Fall offers a quieter alternative with the added appeal of Ontario's foliage season in the surrounding countryside. Reserve your lakeside site and let Lakelet Lake deliver the Ontario cottage experience that the southern lake regions have been providing for over a century.

Sunrise Lake Family Campground

9 RV Sites, 1 Tent Site

On the shores of all-sports Sunrise Lake in Le Roy, Michigan—in Osceola County in the Lower Peninsula's northern forest where the lake's clear inland water, 12,000 acres of Michigan state land across the road, and the Evart Motorcycle Loop's 48 miles of DNR forest road create the pure Michigan camping character that the lake communities of Osceola and Mecosta Counties sustain in the quiet inland lakeshore landscape between Big Rapids and Cadillac—Sunrise Lake Family Campground provides full hookup RV sites, wooded tent sites, and cabin rentals nestled in the lakeside setting, a boat ramp, swimming off the sand beach, kayaking and paddle boating on the lake, fishing in the all-sports lake's panfish and bass population, a snack bar, a pavilion, laundry, showers, and a dump station on a gated property whose Sunrise Lake frontage and the state land's direct ATV and ORV access create the Michigan lakeside and trail-riding combination that the inland northern Michigan family camps for. All-sports Sunrise Lake. ATV-direct from your campsite. Pure Michigan character. Full hookup RV sites with water, electric, and sewer alongside wooded tent sites and lakeside cabin rentals create the accommodation range for the family whose northern Michigan week includes lake days, forest rides, and the campfire evenings that Osceola County's natural setting makes the evening's best activity. The boat ramp's lake launch eliminates the public-ramp competition that popular Michigan lake weekends create, swimming off the sand beach provides the all-ages water recreation, and kayaking and paddle boating on the lake's clear water create the quieter watercraft alternative to the motorboat traffic that an all-sports lake designation permits. The snack bar handles the between-swim hunger and the afternoon treat, and the pavilion accommodates the organized family event, the birthday party, and the wedding venue rental that the lakeside setting and Sunrise Lake Family Campground's event infrastructure offers. Le Roy sits in Osceola County on US-10 between Reed City and Leroy Township, in the lower northern Michigan landscape where the Muskegon River's headwater tributaries, the Pere Marquette State Forest's southern sections, and the private and commercial forestland create the recreational landscape that the Osceola County ATV and snowmobile community accesses from the trail networks that the DNR forest roads and designated ORV routes sustain. The 12,000 acres of Michigan state land directly across from the campground creates the public land access that the ATV, ORV, and mountain bike community uses from the campsite without requiring a trailer load or a drive to the trailhead. Big Rapids, 20 miles south on US-131, provides Ferris State University's campus, the Muskegon River's flatwater canoe run through the city, and the Mecosta County commercial infrastructure that the Le Roy area's limited services require for the major supply run. Cadillac, 20 miles north on US-131, provides the twin-lake resort town of Cadillac and Mitchell's Lake Cadillac-Lake Mitchell connected channel, the William Mitchell State Park, and the Missaukee County's snowmobile and ATV trail network that extends north through the Upper Peninsula gateway landscape. Sunrise Lake Family Campground operates seasonally through the Michigan summer and early fall, with the Memorial Day through Labor Day swimming and boating season, the ATV and ORV riding calendar from spring through fall, and the snowmobile season on the Osceola County trail network from December through March providing the three-season activity that northern Michigan's inland lake and forest landscape supports. Reserve your site, tent spot, or cabin at Sunrise Lake Family Campground and let the all-sports lake, the boat ramp, and the 12,000 acres of state land across the road deliver the Pure Michigan inland lake experience that Osceola County's lakeside campground provides.
