Best Time to Camp at Algonac Riverfront Campground

Adventure doesn't stop when temperatures drop—winter camping is fully supported here with plowed access to sanitation facilities, making this a year-round destination for hardy campers. During warmer months, the riverfront loops bask in abundant sunshine and cooling river breezes, perfect for sun-seekers and ship-watchers. If you prefer shade and don't mind sharing space with a few more mosquitoes, the tree-canopied Wagon Wheel loop offers a cooler, more sheltered retreat. Keep in mind that restroom availability may vary during shoulder seasons.
