HTR Door County Campground & RV Resort

84 RV Sites, 7 Cabins, 7 Glamping Sites, 20 Cottages, 2 Houses

HTR Door County Campground & RV Resort in Egg Harbor, Wisconsin, offers deluxe back-in RV sites with 20, 30, and 50-amp full hookups, sized to 45 feet, alongside cabins on a big-rig-friendly property behind a gated entrance. An outdoor pool, clubhouse, game room, and on-site dining bring resort-level camping to the heart of the Door Peninsula. Deluxe back-in sites carry water, sewer, and electric on 20, 30, and 50-amp, sized to 45 feet, with fire pits and picnic tables. Cabins serve guests traveling without a rig. A general store, laundry, dump station, restrooms, showers, and firewood handle the practical side, with WiFi throughout and a gated entrance controlling access. Check-in is after 2:00pm and check-out before 11:00am. Pets must be leashed at all times — remote collars do not count — and should never be left unattended. An outdoor pool anchors the summer, with a clubhouse, game room, arcade, and on-site dining for other hours. Sports courts, volleyball, a playground, pavilion, and dog park fill the grounds, with planned activities through the season and swimming, boating, and birding from the area. A beach, lake, river, state park, golf course, amusement park, and wineries are all nearby. Pets are welcome. Egg Harbor sits on the Door Peninsula, a 70-mile arm reaching into Lake Michigan with five state parks, working cherry orchards, artist communities, and a shoreline alternating between sandy beaches, limestone bluffs, and sheltered harbors. The village holds one of the peninsula's densest concentrations of restaurants, galleries, and waterfront access. Summer is decisively the season on Door County. Reserve well ahead.

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.

Chocolay River

76 RV Sites, 10 Tent Sites

Chocolay River RV Park in Marquette, Michigan, offers 76 full-hookup pull-through RV sites and 10 tent sites on the south shore of Lake Superior, with 20, 30, and 50-amp service and rigs accepted to 60 feet. A single pull-through category means no backing at any site, with restrooms, showers, laundry, and river frontage just outside the city. Seventy-six sites are pull-through throughout, carrying water, sewer, and electric on 20, 30, and 50-amp, sized to 60 feet, with fire pits. A single-category, all-pull-through layout is genuinely practical — every guest gets the same spec, no backing after a long drive, and 60 feet accommodates a long coach with a tow. Ten tent sites round out the lodging. Restrooms, showers, and a laundry handle the practical side. The river runs the property, with hiking on the grounds and offroading nearby. The amenity set is deliberately spare, which keeps rates reasonable and suits a park built as a quiet base rather than a destination. Pets are welcome. The address is 123 Eagle Pass Trail near M-28. Marquette is the largest city in Michigan's Upper Peninsula and has become a serious destination for outdoor recreation without the crowds that come with it elsewhere — Lake Superior's shoreline, Presque Isle Park, the Noquemanon and South Marquette trail networks for mountain biking, Sugarloaf Mountain, and the waterfalls of the central UP are all close. Summer is the short, intense season on Lake Superior, with fall color drawing a strong second wave and snow sports filling winter. Reserve well ahead for July and August, and check operating dates for the shoulders.

Wildwood Outdoor Adventures and Campground in Eagle River, Wisconsin, offers 73 RV sites and 10 tent sites directly on the Eagle River Chain of 28 Lakes, with 30 and 50-amp service and rigs accepted up to 102 feet.

Every category comes in both a full-hookup and a water-and-electric version, which lets you choose the setting and the hookup level independently — a sensible structure. One hundred two feet accommodates the longest coaches with a tow. Every site gets a fire ring and picnic table. Ten tent sites round out the lodging. A general store, laundry, dump station, restrooms, and private family shower rooms handle the practical side. Floating boat slips, a full dock, and kayak rentals open the chain for boating, canoeing, and kayaking, with a lake, pond, river, walking trails, biking, a playground, community fire pit, and productive birding filling the rest. The Eagle River Chain is the largest freshwater chain in the world — 28 glacially carved lakes connected end to end across more than 3,000 acres. Summer is decisively the season. Reserve well ahead.

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. An outdoor pool, sport courts, basketball, ping pong, billiards, a playground, and dark northern-Michigan sky for stargazing fill the grounds, with swimming and picnicking on site. Skiing, snowboarding, off-roading, golf, a lake, a beach, and a river are all nearby. Thompsonville sits three miles from Crystal Mountain Resort in Benzie County, in the northwestern Lower Peninsula where the Betsie and Crystal Rivers and a chain of spring-fed lakes define the region. Sleeping Bear Dunes and the Huron-Manistee National Forests are close. Rates for sites and tent spots are on the booking page. Ski season and summer both run busy here — reserve ahead either way.

Kampvilla RV Park

On 40 wooded acres in the northwestern corner of Michigan's Lower Peninsula, just five miles from 25 continuous miles of Lake Michigan sandy shoreline, Kampvilla RV Park provides a well-appointed campground in the natural setting of Manistee County—a landscape of hardwood forest, small inland lakes, and the dramatic dune country that characterizes Michigan's western coast. The combination of a well-stocked fishing pond, a heated pool, a robust activity lineup, and the proximity to Lake Michigan's beaches creates a campground experience that serves both families who want structured activities and outdoor enthusiasts who want a quiet base for exploring the surrounding Manistee National Forest and shoreline. Forty scenic wooded acres provide the breathing room that separates Kampvilla from the crowded resorts farther north. Full-hookup pull-through sites with 30/50-amp electrical service, water, and sewer serve the RV camping community alongside rustic sites large enough for tents and smaller trailers in the shaded grassy terrain. A heated swimming pool and covered poolside pavilion anchor the warm-weather recreation, and the catch-and-release fishing pond provides immediate angling access without requiring a drive to one of the surrounding lakes. Basketball, sand volleyball, shuffleboard, ping pong, foosball, and horseshoes round out the structured recreational menu, and a well-stocked general store handles supplies, ice, firewood, propane, and Kampvilla apparel for guests who arrive underprepared. A large playground and planned weekend events give families with children the structured programming that makes multi-day stays genuinely enjoyable. Lake Michigan's shoreline, five miles west, stretches 25 uninterrupted miles of sandy beach through the Ludington State Park system and the surrounding Manistee County dune country—one of the most expansive and beautiful freshwater beach environments in the world. Manistee, the county seat 12 miles north, anchors a charming Victorian downtown district on the Manistee Lake and River system, with charter fishing for salmon and lake trout, river tubing, and a vibrant local arts community that has established Manistee as one of northwest Michigan's most livable small cities. The Manistee National Forest, which surrounds the campground's county on three sides, provides hundreds of miles of hiking, biking, and ORV trails through northern Michigan's mixed hardwood and pine terrain. Sleeping Bear Dunes National Lakeshore, about 45 miles north, represents one of the National Park System's most dramatic landscapes—a 35-mile stretch of Lake Michigan shore dominated by towering dunes, ancient forests, offshore Manitou Islands, and the Sleeping Bear legend of Ojibwe tradition. The Platte and Betsie Rivers, both within day-trip range of the campground, offer nationally recognized canoe and kayak trips through northern Michigan river country that draw paddlers from across the Midwest. A fish-cleaning station on the property ensures that the morning's lake trout catch arrives at the campfire properly prepared. The campground operates seasonally and aligns its peak activity with the summer Lake Michigan beach season—the highest-demand period when the surrounding dune country and shoreline parks fill from late June through Labor Day. Fall brings the spectacular foliage season for which northern Michigan is celebrated, and the Manistee County hardwoods turn in full color from mid-September through mid-October in one of the Midwest's finest autumn displays. Reserve early for summer weekends in July and August, and give the fall shoulder season serious consideration for a northwest Michigan camping experience with fewer crowds and the dramatic seasonal color that rewards guests who return after the beach season ends.

Plum Pines RV Park & Campground

43 RV Sites, 5 Tent Sites

Plum Pines RV Park & Campground in Sayner, Wisconsin, offers 43 RV sites and five tent sites near Plum Lake in Vilas County, with 30 and 50-amp water-and-electric service, ADA-accessible sites, and rigs accepted to 50 feet on a big-rig-friendly layout. Deluxe and standard categories sit behind a gated entrance in the Northwoods lakes country. Forty-three sites run in 30/50-amp deluxe, 30/50-amp standard, and standard pull-through categories carrying water and electric, sized to 50 feet, with fire pits and picnic tables — note there are no sewer hookups at the sites, though a dump station is available. Accessible sites are available. Five tent sites round out the accommodations. Laundry, restrooms, showers, and firewood handle the practical side, with a gated entrance controlling access. Boat rentals are available on site with boating and picnicking from the property, and off-roading and a golf course are nearby. The amenity set is deliberately quiet — this is a private, family-owned campground where the lake country does the work. Sayner sits in the geographic center of the Eagle River, Minocqua, Boulder Junction, and Manitowish Waters lake district, and the context is remarkable: Vilas County holds over 1,300 lakes within its boundaries, making it the most lake-dense county in the United States. Plum Lake is within blocks of the campground. Summer is decisively the season in the Northwoods. Reserve well ahead for July and August, and note the partial hookups when planning a longer stay.

Jellystone Park™ Petoskey

155 RV Sites, 63 Cabins, 3 Tent Sites

Jellystone Park Petoskey in Michigan offers 155 full-hookup RV sites, 63 cabins, and three tent sites across 30 landscaped acres near Little Traverse Bay, with 20, 30, and 50-amp service, cable TV, and rigs accepted to 90 feet behind a gated entrance. Elite and deluxe full-hookup back-in and pull-through categories join a pool, hot tub, and gem mining. One hundred fifty-five sites span deluxe full hookup 30/50-amp, deluxe full hookup 30/50-amp pull-through, elite full hookup 30/50-amp, and elite full hookup 30/50-amp pull-through categories, all carrying water, sewer, and electric with cable TV and site WiFi, sized to 90 feet, with fire pits and picnic tables. Ninety feet is exceptional for northern Michigan and accommodates the longest coaches with a tow. Sixty-three cabins and three tent sites round out the lodging. A general store, laundry, propane fills and exchange, restrooms, and showers handle the practical side. The daily resort fee covers basic WiFi, pool and spa access, the playground, dog park, restrooms and showers, volleyball, basketball, and pickleball. An outdoor pool and hot tub and sauna anchor the summer, with gem mining, gaga ball, sports courts, pickleball, volleyball, basketball, horseshoes, a community fire pit, playground, dog park, and on-site dining filling the rest. Boating, swimming, and planned activities round it out. Little Traverse Bay's sunsets and the Petoskey stones along the pebbled shoreline are the reason families have come here for generations. Summer is decisively the season. Reserve well ahead.

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.

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.

Whispering Surf Campground at Bass Lake

37 RV Sites, 1 Cabin, 6 Tent Sites, 2 Cottages

Whispering Surf Campground at Bass Lake in Pentwater, MI, offers 37 full-hookup RV sites, 3 cabin and cottage rentals, and 6 tent sites, with 20, 30, and 50-amp service and room for rigs up to 44 feet. Sites come in three types — full-hookup back-ins, full-hookup pull-thrus, and water-and-electric back-ins — each with a fire pit, picnic table, and site-delivered WiFi. Full-hookup sites carry water, sewer, and electric. A bathhouse with showers, a general store, firewood, a dump station, and a community fire pit cover the essentials. 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. Rates for sites, cabins, and tent spots are on the booking page. Michigan's summer season is short and this stretch of shoreline books early.
