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.

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.

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.

Ogemaw County Fair

69 RV Sites

Ogemaw County Fairgrounds in West Branch, Michigan, offers 69 RV sites with water and electric on 30 and 50-amp service, sized for rigs to 60 feet, in northern lower Michigan. This is well-priced fairgrounds camping with genuine community character, serving both fair week and a season that runs well beyond it. Sixty-nine back-in sites carry water and electric on 30 or 50-amp, sized to 60 feet — note there are no sewer hookups at the sites, though a dump station is on site. Group sites and rustic spots supplement the hookup sites, giving tent campers basic fire-and-nature infrastructure without the utility overhead. Restrooms, showers, and WiFi handle the practical side. Pets are welcome. On-site facilities are practical rather than elaborate: a playground for families and the open fairgrounds themselves, which give guests considerably more room than a conventional campground layout. The pricing reflects the format, and for travelers who want space and simplicity over programming, that trade works well. West Branch sits in Ogemaw County in northern lower Michigan, with the Rifle River's fishing and natural recreation close by. The county fair itself, including the Antique Village, is the anchor event of the season and draws RV-equipped families from across the region. Availability tracks the fair calendar closely. Fair week fills the grounds and books out well in advance, while the rest of the season generally offers easy availability at a lower rate. Check the fair schedule before planning a stay — it is the single biggest factor in what you will find here.

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.

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.

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.

Whitewater Township Park

40 RV Sites

Whitewater Township Park in Williamsburg, MI, offers 40 RV sites with 30 and 50-amp service and room for rigs up to 67 feet. Sites are electric-only and take either an RV or a tent, in back-in and pull-thru layouts with a fire pit and picnic table. Be clear on this before booking: there is no water or sewer at the site, so arrive with your tanks filled and plan on the on-site dump station. At 67 feet, though, the sites take a longer rig than most township parks anywhere. A bathhouse with showers and firewood are available, and pets are welcome. The lakeshore is the reason to come. A beach, boat docks, walking trails, a pavilion, and a playground sit on the water, with swimming, hiking, picnicking, and birding along a stretch of undeveloped inland shoreline. Williamsburg sits on Elk Lake in Grand Traverse County, in a quiet township between Traverse City and Charlevoix. Rates and availability are on the booking page. Northern Michigan's season is short and this shoreline is well known locally — reserve early for July and August.

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.
