Wolf Lake Resort and Campground

30 Tent Sites

Wolf Lake Resort and Campground in Muskegon, MI, offers RV sites with full hookups alongside 30 tent sites. Contact the resort for site count, amp service, and maximum rig length — those specifics aren't published here. Laundry, a bathhouse with showers, a general store, firewood, propane fills, and a clubhouse cover the practical side. Pets are welcome. The lake carries the property: a beach, a fishing pier, boat rentals, and walking trails, with swimming, fishing, boating, kayaking, paddle boats, hiking, biking, and planned activities. Softball World, Eagle Island Golf Club, and Lake Michigan itself are all close. Muskegon sits on Michigan's Lake Michigan shoreline, and Wolf Lake gives guests a calm inland alternative a short drive from the big water — one of the more diverse outdoor recreation corners of the Great Lakes. Rates for sites and tent spots are on the booking page. Michigan's summer is short and this shoreline books early — reserve ahead, and call to confirm your rig's fit.

Conestoga Grand River Campground

Conestoga Grand River Campground in Coopersville, Michigan, offers full-hookup RV sites on the Grand River, with water, sewer, and electric in back-in and pull-through configurations. An outdoor pool, boat ramp, kayak rentals, game room, sports courts, and golf cart rentals serve a 100-site Ottawa County property with deep water access to the river corridor. Sites carry water, sewer, and electric in back-in and pull-through configurations, with fire pits and picnic tables. Contact the campground to confirm amp service, length limits, and current category availability for your rig — the published site records are incomplete, and a call gets you a straight answer. A general store, laundry, dump station, restrooms, showers, RV storage, boat storage, and a snack bar handle the practical side. An outdoor pool anchors the summer, with a boat ramp and kayak rentals opening the river for boating, canoeing, kayaking, swimming, and fishing. A game room, arcade, sports courts, basketball, volleyball, playground, pavilion, and golf cart rentals fill the rest, with biking, picnicking, and planned activities through the season. A golf course is nearby. Pets are welcome. The address is 9720 Oriole Drive. Deep water access is the distinguishing feature — the Grand is Michigan's longest river, and from here it runs west to Lake Michigan at Grand Haven, which means a boat launched at the campground can reach the big lake. The salmon and steelhead runs draw anglers, and Grand Rapids sits a short drive east with Grand Haven's beaches and boardwalk to the west. Summer is decisively the season. Reserve well ahead for July and August.

Sun Retreats Gun Lake

13 RV Sites

Sun Retreats Gun Lake in Hopkins, Michigan, offers 13 full-hookup RV sites in Allegan County's lake country, with 20, 30, and 50-amp service, cable TV, and rigs accepted to 60 feet behind a gated entrance. A motorhome-only full-hookup pull-in category joins a pull-through tier, with a splash pad, hot tub, spa, beach, and jumping pillow. Thirteen sites run in full hookup pull-in for motorhomes only and pull-through categories, both carrying water, sewer, and electric with cable TV and site WiFi, sized to 60 feet, with fire pits and picnic tables. The motorhome-only pull-in is a thoughtful distinction — coaches that would rather not back or unhitch get a purpose-built option. A general store, laundry, propane fills and exchange, restrooms, showers, firewood, and a snack bar handle the practical side. The property was formerly Hidden Ridge RV Resort. A splash pad and outdoor pool anchor the summer, with a hot tub, sauna, and spa alongside. A lake, beach, fishing pier, and boat rentals open the water for boating, paddle boats, canoeing, kayaking, swimming, and fishing. A jumping pillow, fitness center, recreation center, clubhouse, game room, arcade, billiards, shuffleboard, pickleball, volleyball, basketball, horseshoes, walking trails, hiking, biking, a playground, pavilion, community fire pit, and dog park fill the rest, with live music and planned activities. That amenity list at 13 sites is remarkable. Gun Lake covers 2,680 acres in western Michigan's hardwood and lake country, with Yankee Springs Recreation Area close and Grand Rapids about 40 minutes north. Summer is decisively the season. Reserve well ahead.

Tippy Dam Campground and Cabins

17 RV Sites, 3 Cabins, 11 Tent Sites

Tippy Dam Campground and Cabins in Wellston, Michigan, offers 17 RV sites, three cabins, and 11 tent sites on the Manistee River, with 20, 30, and 50-amp electric service, ADA-accessible sites, and rigs accepted to 50 feet, open all year. A single 20/30/50-amp category joins a general store, dump station, playground, and casino, inside the Manistee National Forest. Seventeen sites carry electric service on 20, 30, and 50-amp, sized to 50 feet, with fire pits and picnic tables. Plan around the hookups — these are electric sites rather than full hookup, so arrive with full water and empty tanks and use the dump station. Accessible sites are available. Three cabins and 11 tent sites round out the lodging. A general store, dump station, and showers handle the practical side. One firewood note: you may bring your own, but not oak with the bark still attached, because of oak wilt. The river is the recreation, with fishing, canoeing, kayaking, paddle boats, and swimming from the property, plus biking, horseshoes, and planned activities. A casino sits on the property, with skiing, a golf course, and lakes nearby. Pets are welcome. The campground takes its name from Tippy Dam, the hydroelectric facility on the Manistee, and the tailwater below it is one of Michigan's most celebrated trout and salmon fisheries. The fall king salmon run draws anglers from across the Midwest, with steelhead following through winter and spring. Fall salmon season and summer both drive demand. Reserve well ahead for September and October.

from $32/night

Forest Haven Campground

39 RV Sites, 14 Tent Sites

Forest Haven Campground in Decatur, MI, offers 39 full-hookup RV sites and 14 tent sites, with 30 and 50-amp service and room for rigs up to 80 feet. The campground publishes both back-in and pull-thru site categories, each carrying water, sewer, and electric with a fire pit and picnic table; confirm which layout you're booking when you reserve. At 80 feet the sites take long coaches. Laundry, a bathhouse with showers, a general store, firewood, a barn, and golf cart rentals cover the practical side. Pets are welcome, with a dog park. An outdoor pool, mini-golf, a game room, sport courts, basketball, ping pong, a playground, a pond, and walking trails fill 70 wooded acres, with swimming, fishing, paddle boats, paddle boarding, hiking, and biking. Decatur sits in Van Buren County in southwestern Michigan's fruit belt, where hardwood forest and pond-dotted farmland meet the Lake Michigan shoreline and the Paw Paw wine corridor. From I-94, take exit 56 and head south on M-51 for 6.7 miles through downtown Decatur, then turn left at the BP station on Williams. Rates for sites and tent spots are on the booking page. Summer weekends in the fruit belt book early.

Fox Run Family Campground & RV Park

Fox Run Family Campground & RV Park in Fife Lake, Michigan, offers full-hookup RV sites on a forested property off US-131 in Grand Traverse County, with a lake, walking trails, and a big-rig-friendly layout. The campground sits at the Old Walton Junction trailhead, giving direct access to hiking and ORV trail connections. Full-hookup RV sites carry water, sewer, and electric on a layout sized for big coaches. A general store covers camp basics and firewood, laundry and a dump station handle longer stays, and restrooms, showers, and WiFi serve the sites. A lending library rounds out the practical amenities — a small touch, but one that says something about how the family runs the place. Pets are welcome. The trailhead position is the distinguishing feature. Old Walton Junction connects directly to hiking and ORV trails that extend into the surrounding national forest, which means riders and hikers leave from the campground rather than trailering out. A lake sits on the property for fishing, with walking trails, biking, horseshoes, corn hole, and picnicking across the grounds and a playground and dog park for families and pets. Fife Lake sits in the white pine and mixed hardwood landscape of northwest Lower Michigan, on the US-131 corridor connecting the Grand Rapids metro to Traverse City. That gives the family-owned campground two distinct markets — through-traffic on the highway and regional recreation demand generated by the Manistee National Forest, Fife Lake itself, and the northern Lower Michigan trail network. The campground serves the Michigan season. Summer lake and trail traffic drives the peak, with fall color and ORV riding weather extending demand into October. Reserve ahead for summer weekends and fall color.

from $34/night

Northern Sites Campground

1 RV Site

Northern Sites Campground in Beaverton, Michigan, offers 1 primitive RV site on the Cedar River, with rigs accepted to 30 feet. A sandy beach, general store, dump station, showers, and pavilion serve a river camping property in Gladwin County's inland lake country. The site is primitive, sized to 30 feet, with a fire pit and picnic table. Plan accordingly — no hookups at the site, so arrive fully self-contained with water and power, and use the dump station and bathhouse. The 30-foot cap rules out most modern coaches; this suits vans, small trailers, and truck campers. Contact the campground about additional site availability and any serviced options. A general store, dump station, restrooms, showers, firewood, and a pavilion handle the practical side. The river and a sandy beach carry the recreation, with swimming, fishing, canoeing, kayaking, water sports, and biking. Pets are welcome. A primitive site on a river with a real bathhouse and store is a specific and increasingly rare combination — you get the quiet of unserviced camping without giving up hot water or coffee. Gladwin County sits in the heart of Michigan's Lower Peninsula, a region of wooded uplands, small lakes, and an extensive snowmobile and ORV trail network that has served outdoor travelers for generations. The Cedar and Tittabawassee Rivers, Wixom Lake, and the Gladwin Field Trial Area are all close, with Houghton and Higgins Lakes an easy drive north. Summer is the season in central Michigan, with fall color and snowmobile season drawing distinct off-peak waves. Reserve ahead for July and August, and arrive self-contained.

Elkhart RV Resort

36 RV Sites, 22 Cabins, 4 Tent Sites

Elkhart RV Resort in Granger, IN, offers 36 full-hookup pull-thru RV sites, 22 cabins, and 4 tent sites, with 20, 30, and 50-amp service and room for rigs up to 70 feet. Every site is a pull-thru, in three categories: 30-amp, 50-amp, and deluxe 50-amp with a patio. All carry water, sewer, and electric with site-delivered WiFi and a barbecue. Nothing needs unhitching, and at 70 feet the sites take long coaches. The resort is rated big rig friendly. Laundry, a bathhouse with showers, a general store, a snack bar, on-site dining, a bar, a library, firewood, propane fills and exchange, and a dump station cover everything. Wristbands are not required to use the amenities. Pets are welcome, with a dog park. The recreation runs long: a water park, an outdoor pool, mini-golf, a game room and arcade, a pavilion, volleyball, basketball, horseshoes, a playground, walking trails, live music, and paddle boats, kayaking, boating, and fishing on the water. Granger sits in St. Joseph County in northwestern Indiana, minutes from South Bend and Notre Dame. Rates for every accommodation type are on the booking page. Notre Dame home football weekends are the tightest of the year.

Timber Ridge Resort

Timber Ridge Resort in Traverse City, Michigan, offers RV sites, cabins, cottages, and yurts in Grand Traverse County's cherry orchard and vineyard countryside along the Lake Michigan shore — a four-accommodation-format resort in the heart of one of the Midwest's most desirable travel destinations, where the cold-water bay scenery, the nationally recognized wine and culinary industry, the Sleeping Bear Dunes National Lakeshore, and Traverse City's genuinely excellent arts and dining culture combine to make this stretch of northwestern Lower Michigan one of the most broadly appealing regional destinations in the Great Lakes. The resort's accommodation range from full-hookup RV sites to basic and deluxe cabin configurations to yurts gives it the flexibility to serve the full spectrum of Traverse City-area visitors. Full hookups for RV travelers and a range of cabin, cottage, and yurt options give Timber Ridge Resort the accommodation diversity to serve groups of different sizes, equipment situations, and comfort preferences across the cherry blossom, summer, fall color, and ice wine seasons that define Traverse City's four-season appeal. The resort's Traverse City location gives guests the immediate access to the town's downtown breweries, restaurants, galleries, and farmers markets that makes TC one of the few small Michigan cities consistently drawing visitors from Chicago, Detroit, and Columbus specifically for its locally produced food and drink culture. Pets are welcome. Sleeping Bear Dunes National Lakeshore, 22 miles west of Traverse City, is a National Park Service unit protecting 71,000 acres of Lake Michigan shoreline, perched dunes up to 400 feet above the lake surface, hardwood forest, and the offshore Manitou Islands — one of the most scenically varied National Lakeshore units on the Great Lakes and the site of the Dune Climb, where visitors ascend 130 feet of loose sand for a Lake Michigan viewshed that ABC's Good Morning America viewers voted "the Most Beautiful Place in America" in 2011. The North and South Manitou Islands, accessible by ferry from Leland, provide backcountry island hiking and camping in a Great Lakes wilderness setting. The Old Mission Peninsula and Leelanau Peninsula wine regions surrounding Traverse City have emerged as nationally significant producers of Riesling, Pinot Grigio, and cool-climate white varieties in a viticultural region whose 45th parallel latitude and Lake Michigan microclimate create growing conditions directly analogous to Alsace and the Mosel — a comparison that serious wine consumers have validated through consistent critical recognition since the 1990s. The peninsula tasting room circuit, accessible by bicycle from downtown Traverse City, gives guests the wine tourism experience integrated into the cherry orchard and Bay scenery landscape rather than separated into a discrete industrial wine district. Timber Ridge Resort operates from spring through fall in northern Michigan's Great Lakes climate, with the National Cherry Festival in early July representing Traverse City's highest-demand tourism week and the August color transition beginning the fall foliage season that peaks through October in the maple and beech hardwood forests of the Sleeping Bear and Leelanau country. Ice wine production from frozen Riesling grapes in January and February gives wine enthusiasts a winter-season reason to visit that the summer tourism economy obscures. Reserve accommodations months ahead for the Cherry Festival and peak August weekends, when Traverse City accommodation across all categories fills from the Midwest's established Traverse City visitor market.

Eby’s Pines RV Park & Campground

Eby's Pines RV Park & Campground in Bristol, IN, offers full-hookup RV sites carrying water, sewer, and electric, with a fire pit and picnic table at each site. Both pull-thru and back-in layouts are available. Contact the campground for site count, amp service, and maximum rig length, since those specifics aren't published here. Cabin check-in is 3pm with a noon checkout, and late checkout is not permitted. Laundry, a bathhouse with showers, a general store, propane fills, a dump station, RV storage, golf cart rentals, and cabins cover the practical side. Pets are welcome, with a dog park. The recreation is deep: an outdoor pool, a pavilion, sport courts, basketball, volleyball, pickleball, shuffleboard, horseshoes, corn hole, a playground, a pond, creek frontage, and walking trails, with swimming, fishing, hiking, biking, and planned activities. Bristol sits in Elkhart County at the heart of the largest Amish settlement in the United States — a patchwork of farms, roadside stands, and back lanes where horse-drawn buggies outnumber cars on many township roads. Rates for sites and cabins are on the booking page. Call ahead to confirm your rig's fit, and note the firm noon checkout.

Walnut Hills Family Campground

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. Beachfront and riverfront water-and-electric categories join a 50-amp full-hookup tier, alongside a water park, swimming lake, beach, and inflatable water toys. 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. Read the category carefully — most tiers carry water and electric but not sewer, and the dump station covers the rest. The beachfront and riverfront categories are the ones to request. 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. A water park and swimming lake anchor the summer, with a beach, boat ramp, and kayak rentals opening the river for boating, canoeing, kayaking, and fishing. An arcade, game room, ball field, sports courts, volleyball, basketball, gaga ball, horseshoes, inflatable water toys, golf cart rentals, walking trails, hiking, biking, a playground, pavilion, and dog park fill the rest, with live music and planned activities. The scenic river frontage in central Michigan is what brings families back year after year. Summer is the season. Reserve well ahead.

from $23/night

The Oaks Campground

The Oaks Campground in Munith, Michigan, offers full-hookup RV sites beneath mature oak shade, with water, sewer, and electric in back-in configurations. A clear swimming lake with a sandy beach, water park, ball field, bike rentals, and horseback riding fill a property that delivers the classic southern Michigan lake experience. Sites carry water, sewer, and electric in back-in configurations, with fire pits and picnic tables. Contact the campground to confirm amp service, length limits, and current availability — the published site records are incomplete. Cabins round out the lodging. A general store, laundry, dump station, restrooms, showers, and firewood handle the practical side. A water park and a clear swimming lake with a sandy beach anchor the summer, with inflatable water toys and water sports on the water. A ball field, sports courts, basketball, volleyball, gaga ball, horseshoes, an arcade, bike rentals, horseback riding, walking trails, a playground, pavilion, dog park, and snack bar fill the rest, with fishing, canoeing, kayaking, hiking, mountain biking, and productive birding. Planned activities run through the season, and a state park is nearby. Horseback riding and bike rentals at a lake campground is an unusual pairing and gives families more to do than the water alone. The mature oak shade and open natural character are exactly what disappears once you enter the urban footprint of Detroit, Ann Arbor, or Jackson — and all three are close enough for a day trip. Waterloo Recreation Area, Michigan's largest state park in the Lower Peninsula, is minutes away. Summer is decisively the season. Reserve well ahead.
