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.

Driftwood Beach Resort

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

Driftwood Beach Resort in Clifford, ON, offers 20 RV sites, 7 cabin, cottage, and lodge rentals, and 10 tent sites, with room for rigs up to 38 feet. Sites come in two types: North Country serviced RV sites with water and electric, and Lighthouse Cove unserviced sites. There's no sewer at the site, so plan on the on-site dump station, and confirm the amp rating on your site when you book, since service here is lighter than a modern coach typically expects. Each site has a fire pit and picnic table. The grounds are gated, with laundry, a bathhouse with showers, a general store, firewood, and propane exchange. The resort cottages are park models built to CSA standards rather than traditional cabins. Pets are welcome, with a dog park. A beach, boat ramp, water park, recreation center, library, ball field, sport courts, horseshoes, walking trails, and a playground fill the property, with swimming, fishing, hiking, biking, and birding on the lake. Clifford sits on the spring-fed water of Lakelet Lake in Wellington County, in genuine Ontario cottage country within driving distance of Kitchener-Waterloo and Guelph. Rates for sites, cottages, and tent spots are on the booking page. The Ontario summer season books early.

Spring Valley Cottage & RV Resort

Spring Valley Cottage and RV Resort in Mount Forest, Ontario, offers full-hookup RV sites across a lushly treed seasonal property with four lakes and two heated saltwater pools, behind a gated entrance. Mini-golf, a beach, sports courts, recreation center, and walking trails serve more than 250 full-service sites. Sites carry water, sewer, and electric in back-in configurations, with fire pits and picnic tables. Contact the resort to confirm amp service, length limits, and current category availability for your rig — the published site records are incomplete. A general store, laundry, propane exchange, restrooms, and showers handle the practical side. The resort operates seasonally from May through October. Two heated saltwater pools anchor the property — saltwater rather than chlorine is genuinely easier on skin and eyes over a long stay, and having two means you are never crowded. Four lakes, a sandy beach, mini-golf, a recreation center, sports courts, basketball, volleyball, horseshoes, walking trails, and a playground fill the rest, with swimming and fishing on the water. Four lakes on one property is unusual and gives the resort genuine range — swimming in one, fishing another, quiet paddling on a third. Mount Forest sits in Wellington County's rolling farm and woodlot country in southwestern Ontario. The Holstein Rodeo, the Wellington North trail network, Neustadt Springs Brewery, the Neustadt Mill Antique Market, and St. Paul's Normanby Church are all close, with Toronto about two hours southeast and the Bruce Peninsula north. The season runs May through October, with July and August the clear peak. Reserve well ahead for summer, and confirm dates before planning a shoulder-season trip.

New Earth Estate

6 Cabins, 7 Tipis, 1 Tiny House

New Earth Estate in Markdale, Ontario, offers seven cabin and tiny-house units and seven tipis across 50 acres of forest, river, and rolling hills in the Grey Highlands, open year-round. A pool, hot tub and sauna, spa, disc golf course, kayak rentals, and boat docks make this a full eco-retreat rather than a campground, within weekend range of Toronto. Accommodations run to seven cabins and tiny houses plus seven tipis — a small inventory, so book well ahead. Restrooms, showers, firewood, and WiFi serve the property, and on-site dining covers meals. The estate operates all year, which makes it a genuine four-season option in a region where many properties close. The 50 acres carry an unusually deep amenity set. A pool, hot tub, sauna, and spa anchor the wellness side, while a disc golf course, sports courts, volleyball, basketball, and a ball field cover active recreation. Kayak rentals, boat docks, a pond, and a river support paddling, with a beach and lake nearby. Walking trails and hiking run the forest, and the dark rural sky makes for strong stargazing and bird watching. The estate also operates as a wedding venue. Pets are welcome. A safety note the operators emphasize: this is a natural property with a river, pond, paved and unpaved trails, and forest with stones, rocks, and fallen branches, and it gets genuinely dark at night. Bring flashlights, hike in daylight where possible, and wear proper footwear. Markdale sits in Grey County in the southern Georgian Bay watershed. The Blue Mountains ski and recreation area is 40 kilometers south, with skiing nearby in season and wine and beer tasting in the surrounding countryside. Book early for summer and ski-season weekends.

Camp Deer Trails

29 RV Sites, 8 Cabins, 7 Tent Sites

Camp Deer Trails in Harrison, Michigan, offers 29 RV sites, eight cabins, and seven tent sites across 140 wooded acres on Long Lake, with 30 and 50-amp electric service, ADA-accessible sites, and rigs accepted to 40 feet. Rustic waterfront and rustic back-in categories join a 30/50-amp tier, with three beaches, boat docks, a hot tub, and nature trails. 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. Plan around the hookups — these are electric sites rather than full hookup, so arrive with full water and empty tanks and confirm dump arrangements when you book. The rustic waterfront category is the one to request. Eight cabins and seven tent sites round out the lodging. Restrooms, showers, and a general store handle the practical side. Three distinct beach areas and boat docks open the lake for boating, paddle boats, canoeing, kayaking, swimming, and fishing, with a hot tub and sauna, nature trails, and picnicking filling the rest. The property operates as a wedding venue, and the surrounding forest gives the grounds their character. Pets are welcome. One hundred forty acres for 29 RV sites is a remarkable ratio — this is genuine woodland with a campground in it rather than the reverse, and the space is what guests remember. Clare County sits in the quiet inland lake country of Michigan's Lower Peninsula, with Harrison's small-town center close and the Au Sable and Manistee corridors within reach. Summer is the short, intense Michigan season. Reserve well ahead for July and August.

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.

Cape Croker Park

276 RV Sites, 1 Cabin, 1 Tent Site

Cape Croker Park in Neyaashiinigmiing, Ontario, offers 276 RV sites, a cabin, and a tent site on Georgian Bay, with 20, 30, and 50-amp water-and-electric service and rigs accepted to 40 feet.

Two things to plan around: the sites carry water and electric but not sewer, and most categories are 20-amp, so check the 30/50-amp tier if your rig needs more. The premium waterfront category is the one to request. A cabin and a tent site round out the lodging. A general store, laundry, propane fills and exchange, restrooms, showers, portable toilets, and firewood handle the practical side. A site holder must be at least 18, and alcohol rules apply — check with the park. A beach and boat ramp open the bay for boating, canoeing, kayaking, and swimming, with walking trails, hiking, biking, volleyball, a pond, playground, pavilion, bar, and productive birding filling the rest. The park is owned and operated by the Chippewas of Nawash Unceded First Nation on their traditional territory, between limestone bluffs on Colpoys Bay. Summer is the season on the Bruce Peninsula.

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.
