Just over three miles west of Empire, Indigo Bluffs RV Park operates as two distinct camping areas connected by a shared entrance and office. The property divides into a standard RV campground with varied site sizes and a separate luxury resort section restricted to Class A motorhomes and fifth wheels over a certain length.
The main RV park section features wooded sites with substantial tree cover, providing shade that reviewers consistently appreciate during summer stays. Sites here tend to be more spacious than typical private campgrounds, with level gravel pads and adequate separation between neighbors. The resort section offers stamped concrete pads with full hookups but less natural screening. Cindy B. notes the regular campground "had a lot more shade than the RV resort area."
Daily trash pickup at individual sites eliminates the need for campers to haul refuse to central dumpsters. The facility maintains clean restrooms and operates a seasonal pool. A food truck occasionally serves the property, though this service appears inconsistent based on reviews. The campground sprays for insects, which multiple visitors mention as effective for reducing mosquitoes and other biting bugs during peak season.
Cell service receives mixed reports, with some areas of the property showing stronger signals than others. The campground sits close enough to state routes that road noise reaches some sites, though the setback from main roads keeps traffic sounds moderate. Staff members help match campers with appropriate sites based on RV size and specific needs, though management policies can be strict regarding rule violations.
For a different camping experience, Lively Acres Campground offers a newer facility just under three miles east with updated amenities.
Description
Offering the accommodations you need for all the ways you camp; in a destination that delivers: Sleeping Bear Dunes, Lake Michigan beaches, miles of hiking/biking trails, Traverse City, and more. A place where food, art, and events are abundant in everyday life. Whether you’re looking for an enjoyable weekend, a family vacation, or planning your entire season, this is the place. Families have spent a century vacationing and building memories here; we created a place that allows you to do the same with your family and friends.
Indigo was named after the shades of blue that dominate the surrounding landscape. Leelanau, the peninsula we are located on, is a Native American name meaning “Land of Delight”. That's all the inspiration we needed to create one of the country’s most distinctive outdoor lifestyle resorts.
