Leelanau Pines Campground

52 RV Sites, 9 Cabins, 5 Glamping Sites

Leelanau Pines Campground in Cedar, Michigan, offers 52 full-hookup RV sites, nine cabins, and five glamping sites on the southern shore of Lake Leelanau, with 30 and 50-amp service and rigs accepted to 50 feet. Lakefront basic and lakefront standard categories join premium and standard back-in tiers, with a disc golf course, jumping pillow, beach, and bar. Fifty-two back-in sites run in lakefront basic, lakefront standard, premium back-in, and standard back-in categories, all carrying water, sewer, and electric on 30 and 50-amp, sized to 50 feet, with fire pits and picnic tables. The lakefront tiers are the ones to request, and offering both a basic and a standard lakefront option keeps waterfront within reach at two price points. Nine cabins — including two luxury types sleeping up to eight — and five glamping sites round out the lodging. A laundry, dump station, restrooms, and showers handle the practical side. A disc golf course, jumping pillow, sports courts, pickleball, basketball, gaga ball, corn hole, walking trails, a playground, on-site dining, and a bar fill the grounds, with the lake supporting boating, fishing, and swimming. Wine and beer tasting and a golf course are nearby. The Leelanau Peninsula is one of Michigan's most celebrated summer regions, where Lake Michigan's moderating climate produces cherry orchards and a serious wine country, with Sleeping Bear Dunes and Traverse City close. Summer is decisively the season in northern Michigan, with fall color drawing a strong second wave. Reserve well ahead for July and August.

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.

16 RV Sites, 5 Cottages

Sun Retreats Silver Lake in Mears, MI, offers 16 full-hookup pull-through RV sites and 5 cottages, with 30 and 50-amp service and room for rigs up to 75 feet. Every site is a full-hookup pull-through carrying water, sewer, electric, and cable TV with site-delivered WiFi, a fire pit, and a picnic table — no unhitching, and at 75 feet the sites take long coaches.

Rates for sites and cottages are on the booking page. Sixteen sites and dune season means summer books out fast.

Baraboo RV Resort in Baraboo, WI, offers 42 full-hookup RV sites, 38 cabin and tiny house rentals, and 4 yurts, with 20, 30, and 50-amp service and room for rigs up to 40 feet.

Full-hookup sites carry water, sewer, and electric with a fire pit and picnic table. The 40-foot maximum makes this a better fit for mid-size rigs than the largest coaches.

Confirm your tier, as the water-and-electric category does not carry sewer at the site. Accessible sites are available. Eight cabins and 56 tent sites make the tent inventory unusually deep. A general store, laundry, dump station, restrooms, and showers handle the practical side. You can lock a specific site during booking — it shows as locked on the reservation grid. A water park and beach anchor the summer, with a lake, pond, and creek supporting boating, canoeing, kayaking, swimming, and fishing. A jumping pillow, game room, gaga ball, sports courts, walking trails, hiking, biking, a playground, and dog park fill the rest, with live music and wine tasting nearby.

A dump station, restrooms, showers, and laundry cover the practical side, a general store stocks basics and firewood, and WiFi reaches the sites. A pet washing station is on site — a genuinely useful detail after a day in the river. The Brill River frontage defines the campground. Swimming holes, tubing runs through clear northwoods water, and kayak launches give guests direct river access, while the swim pond and beach provide shallow, managed water for younger children. A dog park, playground, walking trails, sports courts, and basketball spread across the wooded grounds, with a jumping pillow, gaga ball, inflatable water toys, and planned activities filling the family calendar. Boating, canoeing, kayaking, and picnicking round it out. Pets are welcome. Birchwood sits in the northern Wisconsin lakes country between Spooner and Rice Lake, where the Namekagon and Brill rivers and a chain of glacial lakes define the landscape. Long Lake, the area UTV and ATV trails, and historic Hayward are the main draws nearby.
