About Group Campgrounds in Michigan

Group camping in Michigan offers an exceptional variety of experiences, from the dramatic Lake Superior shorelines of the Upper Peninsula to the rolling forests and pristine lakes of the Lower Peninsula. Whether you're planning a family reunion, scout troop outing, equestrian adventure, or corporate retreat, Michigan's diverse landscape provides the perfect backdrop for memorable group gatherings.

Best Time

The prime season for group camping in Michigan runs from late May through early October, with peak conditions typically occurring from mid-June through September when temperatures are warmest and all facilities are fully operational. Summer months (June-August) offer the most reliable weather with daytime temperatures in the 70s-80s°F, perfect for swimming, paddling, and outdoor group activities, though this is also the busiest period requiring advance reservations—often 6-12 months ahead for popular group sites.

Tips & Recommendations

  • 1Reserve group campsites well in advance—popular locations like Fort Custer Group Camp and Grand Island sites often book 6-12 months ahead, especially for summer weekends.
  • 2Most Michigan state forest campgrounds operate on a first-come, first-served basis, but dedicated group sites typically require reservations through the Michigan DNR reservation system.
  • 3Bring plenty of water containers as many rustic sites lack potable water, and pack bear-proof containers or use provided bear boxes in the Upper Peninsula where black bears are common.
  • 4For large groups, assign specific roles before arrival—designate people for meal coordination, firewood gathering, and campsite setup to streamline the process.
