Twisted Trails Offroad Park

11 RV Sites

Twisted Trails Offroad Park in Copemish, Michigan, offers 11 rustic camping sites across 400 acres of forest, mud holes, and rocky ridgeline in Manistee County. A single rustic camping category serves ATV riders, 4x4 enthusiasts, and anyone who came to get their vehicle dirty. Eleven back-in sites are rustic camping throughout, with fire pits at every site. Plan accordingly — these are primitive sites without hookups, so arrive fully self-contained with water and power, and confirm current facilities when you book. The pricing and the setup reflect exactly what this is: a base camp at a riding park rather than a campground with trails attached. Sites sit among the trees rather than in an open lot, and pets are welcome. One booking note the park states plainly: if you are coming to stay and play, add both a camping reservation and an Off Road Park or special event ticket to your cart — the camping alone does not include trail access. Four hundred acres of purpose-built terrain is what draws people from across the Midwest. The park has developed raw forest into one of the region's most sought-after destinations for serious offroading, with mud holes, rock crawls, hill climbs, and ridgeline trails that range from beginner-friendly to genuinely technical. Weekend events and organized rides fill the calendar. Copemish sits in the wooded hills of northwestern Michigan, with the Manistee National Forest surrounding the area and Sleeping Bear Dunes within reach for a day off the trails. Riding season runs spring through fall, with event weekends filling first. Reserve well ahead, and remember the separate park ticket.

Mountain Valley Lodge and Campground

60 RV Sites, 16 Tent Sites

Mountain Valley Lodge and Campground in Thompsonville, MI, offers 60 full-hookup RV sites and 16 tent sites, with 30 and 50-amp service and room for rigs up to 60 feet. Sites come as back-ins and pull-throughs, each carrying water, sewer, and electric with a fire pit and picnic table. A bathhouse with showers, a general store, firewood, a recreation center, and cabins for guests without a rig cover the essentials. Pets are welcome.

Fairgrounds RV Park - WI

33 RV Sites

Fairgrounds RV Park in Beaver Dam, WI, offers 33 full-hookup RV sites with 30 and 50-amp service and room for rigs up to 50 feet. The categories are unusually specific about surface and purpose: 30-amp grass, 50-amp grass, 50-amp full-hookup gravel, and dedicated 30-amp and 50-amp grass special event sites. All carry water, sewer, and electric with site-delivered WiFi, and ADA-accessible sites are available. Premium WiFi is available across the park, and it's rated big rig friendly. A bathhouse with showers, a dump station, a pavilion, a barn, and RV storage cover the rest. Pets are welcome. The special event sites tell you what this park is for: it sits on 60 acres of the Dodge County Fairgrounds, so fair weeks, shows, and events are the rhythm of the place, and it's quiet in between. Beaver Dam sits on Highway 33 four miles west, in the agricultural lakelands of south-central Wisconsin between Madison and Milwaukee. Golf, boating, a lake, and off-road riding are all nearby. Rates by site type are on the booking page. Check the fairgrounds calendar when you pick dates.

Thornton's Rafting Resort and Campground

17 RV Sites, 4 Cabins, 3 Tent Sites, 1 Mobile Home, 2 Onsite RV/Trailers

Thornton's Rafting Resort and Campground in Athelstane, WI, offers 19 RV sites, 5 cabin and mobile home rentals, and 3 tent sites, with 30-amp service and room for rigs up to 80 feet. Sites are back-ins with electric service, site-delivered WiFi, a fire pit, and a picnic table. These are not full hookups — plan on arriving with water aboard and confirm what's available at your site when you book. Note the electrical: this is a 30-amp property, so a rig wired for heavier service will need an adapter and some load management. At 80 feet, though, the sites take a longer rig than almost anything else in the Northwoods. FSX and Transcend RV rentals are available for guests without a rig, and there's a bathhouse with showers on the property. Pets are welcome. The Peshtigo River's whitewater is the reason the resort exists, with rafting, kayaking, boating, and boat rentals, plus an outdoor pool, on-site dining, walking trails, a lake, and swimming, fishing, hiking, and birding. Athelstane sits in Marinette County in Wisconsin's Northwoods. Rates for sites, cabins, and tent spots are on the booking page. Rafting season weekends book first.
