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.

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.

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.

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.

Dogs are welcome — non-aggressive breeds, up to two per site — and there's a dog park and a pet washing station on the grounds. Bass Lake frontage drives the recreation: boat docks and boat and kayak rentals for fishing, paddling, boating, and swimming, plus a recreation center, playground, walking trails, and horseshoes. The dark sky over the lake makes for good stargazing. Pentwater sits in Oceana County, with Bass Lake at the campground's edge and Lake Michigan's beaches and a state park a short drive west.

Sunrise Lake Family Campground

9 RV Sites, 1 Tent Site

Sunrise Lake Family Campground in Le Roy, MI, offers 9 RV sites and 1 tent site, with 30-amp service and back-in sites for rigs up to 50 feet. Sites come in two categories, 30-amp standard and 30-amp premium lake, each carrying water and electric with a fire pit and picnic table. There's no sewer at the site, so plan on the on-site dump station. Note the electrical: this is a 30-amp campground throughout, so a rig wired for heavier service will need an adapter and some load management. The grounds are gated, with laundry, a bathhouse with showers, a snack bar, a pavilion, and cabins. Monthly guests are required to file an emergency contact form, which the campground keeps private and uses only if a situation arises. Pets are welcome. A boat ramp, beach, pond, and lake access drive the recreation — fishing, swimming, boating, paddle boats, and picnicking. The property also hosts weddings. Le Roy sits in Osceola County in the northern Lower Peninsula, on all-sports Sunrise Lake, with 12,000 acres of state land across the road and the Evart Motorcycle Loop's forest roads nearby. Rates for sites and cabins are on the booking page. Premium lake sites book first.

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.

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.

Twenty-nine back-in sites span 30/50-amp, rustic back-in, and rustic waterfront back-in categories, carrying electric service, sized to 40 feet, with fire pits and picnic tables.
