About RV Campgrounds in Michigan

RV camping in Michigan offers an exceptional blend of Great Lakes coastline, pristine forests, and well-maintained campgrounds that cater perfectly to recreational vehicle travelers. From the rugged beauty of the Upper Peninsula to the sandy beaches of Lake Michigan's western shore, Michigan's diverse landscape provides RV campers with countless opportunities to explore two distinct peninsulas connected by the iconic Mackinac Bridge.

Best Time

Tips & Recommendations

1Reserve campsites early through Michigan's DNR reservation system for state parks and forests, especially for summer weekends and holiday periods when popular destinations like Hoffmaster and Waterloo fill months in advance.
2Bring a Michigan Recreation Passport or purchase one upon arrival, as it's required for vehicle entry to all state parks and forests.
3Pack leveling blocks and wheel chocks, as many rustic campgrounds have slightly uneven sites despite generally good conditions.
4Consider your RV's size carefully when booking—while developed campgrounds accommodate rigs up to 45 feet, state forest gems like Pickerel Lake work best for trailers under 30 feet due to tighter access roads.
