Peaceful area.
The lake is very weedy. But silver lake or Bishop lakes are close.

SUMMARY PRESENTED BY
Camping near Attica, Michigan encompasses several county parks and state recreation areas within a 30-mile radius, providing access to wooded sites, lakeside camping, and family-friendly facilities. Addison Oaks County Park in Leonard features tent sites, RV hookups, cabins, and yurts around a scenic lake, while Groveland Oaks County Park in Holly offers similar accommodations with additional recreational amenities. McGinnis Lake Modern Campground at Holly Recreation Area provides year-round camping with heavily wooded sites and excellent hiking and biking trails. Water Tower Travel Trailer Park in Lapeer and Hilltop Campgrounds provide convenient options closer to Attica for both tent and RV campers.
Most campgrounds in the Attica region operate seasonally from late April through mid-October, with only a few facilities like Holly Recreation Area remaining open year-round. Reservations are strongly recommended, especially for summer weekends when sites fill quickly. The camping season peaks from Memorial Day through Labor Day when all amenities and recreational facilities are fully operational. Spring and fall camping offers more solitude but may have limited services. Michigan's variable weather means campers should prepare for occasional heavy rain, particularly in spring and early summer, and mosquitoes are common throughout the warm season.
The camping experience varies significantly between locations. County parks like Groveland Oaks cater to families with amenities such as swimming beaches, playgrounds, and organized activities. According to reviews, "There are lots of family activities like mini golf, kids bike courses and playgrounds" at Groveland Oaks. More nature-focused experiences can be found at Addison Oaks, where one visitor noted the "beautiful 2.5 mile trail around the lake" and opportunities to see wildlife like deer and rabbits. Most campgrounds are pet-friendly and accommodate both tent and RV camping, with varying levels of hookups and amenities. Big rigs can access many sites, though some campgrounds have tighter spaces that require careful navigation.

Great Campground
We had a great stay! Didn’t enjoy any of the activities but heard they were a blast. We enjoyed the texted alerts on activities. This was our second trip with our new rv, just chilled and enjoyed. It was a bit noisy at night, it’s to be expected with children and the generation we live in today. Overall a great experience! Hope to return soon to enjoy the activities.

Forester Park Campground
Great Location
Great location, right on Lake Huron. They have beach access. It is pretty quiet. This is county park. The only thing we seen was negative was people speeding down the roads. Other than that it’s a great campground, very clean, staff was very friendly. We will definitely return.

Lakeport State Park Campground
Great state park!
I was pleasantly surprised by this state park. I prefer camping that is more secluded and the pictures on the DNR site appeared very close together.
The North loop of the campground was very noisy and crowded. However, the South loop had more of the rustic vibe I prefer. The sites were spacious and while there weren’t trees in between each site, there were trees lining between each row that backed up to each other.
The beach is a bit rocky so beach shoes are recommended. The rocks are well worth the seclusion on the south side of the beach.
I will definitely be back to this campground!

Clean, friendly, fun!
Staff was very nice when we need help and had questions. Campsites were clean. Spaces were a little tight and the fire pits had holes in the bottom that caught the grass on fire. If your interested in wifi, its slow and sucks.

Quick stop
We stayed one night as a layover while heading south. Overall, it was a good spot for a quick stop.
The positives: Easy to get in and out, level campsite, very friendly staff, and just a short walk to the beach.
Our biggest issue was the setup of the full-hookup sites. The electrical hookup was on the opposite side of the RV, and we weren’t really set up for a long electrical connection or a long sewer hose. We split the difference and had just enough to make it work.
The full-hookup sites are also pretty tight. Our neighbors were sitting a few feet from our sewer hookup at their campfire, which made things feel a little cramped.
The beach is close, which is a definite plus, but it’s fairly narrow and doesn’t offer a ton of room to spread out on a busy day.
Overall, I’d say this is a great spot for a weekend or an overnight stop, especially if you want easy beach access. I probably wouldn’t plan on getting too comfortable here for an extended stay.

ChillN at the lake
Very nice people, Lake Huron is just a few steps away. Very clean bathrooms, Beautiful park, we ordered Jets pizza and they delivered it to our site, no wifi but thats okay with me
Gary G.GuideMetamora-Hadley Recreation Area
Nice state park
As usual, there's only electric at sites, but the pedestals seem fairly new, and tight. South loop is nicely wooded & has a newer, larger restroom/shower building, not much lake view. The north loop is a little less wooded, with the NW end having a little better lake views, but a pretty ancient restroom/shower facility.
Across the lake is the day use area with a beach and concession stand. (There's a small camp store in the north loop.)
ADA Only sites are asphalt paved. Some of the regular sites could be a challenge to get level on, but the rangers told me they have wood blocks for loan if you don't have enough.
Our first night & a half, we had some terrible neighbors two sites over. Constant profanities, yelling at & threatening their kids... real dirtbags. Rangers booted them from the park! Good to see them taking such positive action. I have not run into a single staff member here that wasn't pleasant.
This was our first time here. A test run, since it's only an hour from home (but feels farther). We'll be back for sure. (Especially with gas prices so high anymore.)
T-Mobile was only slow LTE at our site, but our Starlink worked perfectly at our site. Might be harder to get a clear shot in the more wooded areas of the park.
Guide to Attica
Camping sites near Attica, Michigan sit within Michigan's Thumb region, featuring gently rolling hills and mixed hardwood forests. The region is characterized by several small lakes and reservoirs that provide recreational opportunities, with elevations ranging from 800-900 feet above sea level. Summer temperatures typically reach 75-85°F during peak camping season, with cooler nights that create comfortable sleeping conditions.
What to do
Kayaking and boating: Wolverine Campground offers access to Holloway Reservoir, which is "great for walleye fishing" and water sports. The lake is "beautiful and very busy with lots of boats," though note that it's "a tad shallow" for some boating activities.
Disc golf courses: Addison Oaks County Park features a disc golf course among its recreation options. One visitor specifically mentioned they "enjoyed the trails, disc golf and overall wonderful Park staff" during their stay.
Nature trails: Parks in the region offer varied hiking experiences. At McGinnis Lake Modern Campground, campers appreciate the "nice campground with hiking trails and beautiful lakes." Another camper noted the park has "26 miles of bike trails and hiking. Many in park are paved."
What campers like
Woodland camping environment: Campers consistently mention the wooded settings as a highlight. At McGinnis Lake Modern Campground, campers enjoy that "sites are wooded and pretty private" and that "sites were spacious, we loved the national forest." This provides a true nature experience compared to more open campgrounds.
Clean facilities: Multiple reviewers praise the maintenance of facilities. At Addison Oaks, one camper noted it was "extremely clean and well-kept," while another mentioned that "modern and submerged in nature" made for an ideal combination.
Wildlife viewing: The natural settings provide opportunities to observe local wildlife. One camper at Addison Oaks reported: "We saw deer and rabbit. Our spot #18 I felt was spacious and not too close to the people next to us and trees behind us."
What you should know
Reservation requirements: Most campgrounds fill quickly during peak season. For The New Kingslanding Kampground, campers note it's "the cheapest in the area" but advise securing spots early as it's popular with locals.
Site privacy varies significantly: Some campgrounds offer secluded sites while others have tight spacing. At McGinnis Lake, one camper found their "secluded campsite" was "gorgeous- tucked into the woods and was easy to back into." Meanwhile, at Outdoor Adventures Lakeshore Resort, campers warn that "most sites are very cramped and right up against your neighbors."
Lake restrictions: Each lake has different rules about motorized watercraft. At The New Kingslanding Kampground, "the lake is a spring fed lake with fishing and no gas engines. Its the best swimming in the area" because gas-powered boats aren't allowed.
Tips for camping with families
Water recreation options: Outdoor Adventures Lakeshore Resort offers extensive water facilities for families. According to a camper, there are "several outdoor pools, indoor pool with hot tub, game room, splash park, lazy river, kayak and paddleboats rentals."
Activity planning: Many campgrounds schedule weekend events for children. At McGinnis Lake, one visitor appreciated "a Boo Fest weekend. Lots of socially distanced activities for the kids and a scavenger hunt (finding clues on signs in park to solve a mystery)."
Playground facilities: Most family-oriented campgrounds include play areas. A visitor to Metamora-Hadley Recreation Area mentioned, "The camping store was well stocked for all of the things we forgot to pack but was expensive. The park is extremely sandy so be prepared."
Tips from RVers
Hookup logistics: Check site details carefully before booking. At Water Tower Travel Trailer Park, a reviewer noted "sites are long but not level. Full hookups. Wifi you can stream on. LTE cell service." Another mentioned their site was "small and right on a main road that was noisy most of the time."
Site surface types: Different campgrounds offer varied parking surfaces. At Addison Oaks, "cement pads, water, and electric" are available in some loops, with "Loop C is spacious with some trees."
Extension cord needs: At Wolverine Campground, an RVer warns, "If you're in a camper, make sure you have an extension cord. The power is quite a ways away." This practical advice helps prevent setup frustrations upon arrival.
