SUMMARY PRESENTED BY
The Dundee, Michigan area features multiple established campgrounds suitable for both tent and RV camping, with several options offering cabin accommodations. Wilderness Campground, located within Dundee city limits, provides campsites along the River Raisin with ratings averaging 4.6 out of 5. Other nearby options include Monroe-Toledo North KOA in Petersburg and River Raisin Canoe Livery & Campground, which offers more primitive camping experiences. Most campgrounds in the region maintain seasonal operations, typically open from April through October, with very few facilities available during winter months.
Camping season in the Dundee area generally runs from mid-April to mid-October, with most facilities closing before November. Reservations are recommended, particularly for weekend stays during summer months when waterfront sites fill quickly. The region experiences typical Midwestern seasonal patterns with hot, humid summers and occasional thunderstorms. Most campgrounds offer water and electric hookups, though amenities vary significantly between locations. Several facilities provide sewer hookups for RVs, while others only offer a dump station. As one camper noted, "Nice quite camping. Something to do with kids, bathroom ok."
Waterfront camping is a highlight in the region, with multiple campgrounds featuring ponds, lakes, or river access. Wilderness Campground receives consistent praise for its swimming pond and fishing areas. A recent review mentioned, "Cute catch and release pond. Great staff very friendly and helpful." Family-friendly activities are commonly referenced in visitor feedback, with many campgrounds offering playgrounds, basketball courts, and water recreation. River Raisin Canoe Livery combines camping with kayak and canoe rentals, allowing visitors to explore the waterway directly from their campsite. For those seeking free overnight parking with minimal amenities, Cabela's in Dundee permits RV boondocking in their designated lot, though recent reviews indicate their sanitation station is now permanently closed.

Nice stop
Sterling State Park, Quick Two-Night Stay
We stopped at Sterling State Park for two nights and had a really nice stay. We were on an electric-only site, but the view and the short walk to the beach were awesome.
If you can score one of the sites along the edge of the campground that overlooks the beach, or one that backs up to the woods, I’d definitely recommend it. Those sites have a much better setting. Most of the other sites are more out in the open, with very little shade and not much of a view.
The central part of the campground feels busy and crowded, but surprisingly, most of the sites are actually spaced out pretty well. We didn’t use the bathhouse, so we can’t comment on its cleanliness or condition.
The campground itself was neatly mowed, and the staff seemed to do a good job keeping up with the grounds and general maintenance. We didn’t notice much trash or anything else that would be a negative.
The beach right in front of the campground was probably our favorite part. It was clean, spacious, and never seemed particularly busy while we were there.
Overall, Sterling State Park was a great stop for a couple of nights. If you can get one of the better-located sites, especially along the beach or woods, it makes the stay even better.

Pretty average
Had to buy this campsite because there’s damn near nothing for dispersed in Michigan. Lotta kids screaming into the night, campsites are in sight of each other, lots of mosquitoes, but yknow what can you really expect? I think upwards of $30 is a rip-off, I can’t even find an electrical hook-up if I wanted one. Granted, I got here at night and didn’t look very hard. It’d be 5 stars if it were 15 bucks, which is what I think its worth.

South Bass Island State Park Campground
Well run state park
Some sites have full hookup. Some have just electric. Some are for tents only. Several bath houses that are dated but surprisingly clean. There are not trash receptacles everywhere but rather one area with several dumpsters. Sites are blacktop paved with various degrees of levelness. The whole campground is shaded so can get muddy after rain and smokey from campfires. Each site has a picnic table and fire ring. Park staff are helpful and camp hosts do a great job. All in all a good for a state park.

Sunny's Campground
Amazing camp
The staff is super friendly, helpful. I enjoyed staying at this camp. The only negative point is that there are not many lots with full hookup. Everything is 10 minutes away.

Nice kinda noisy
Great place open during the week can be full on weekends. Near a road though so a bit of noise from cars. Bathrooms and showers are nice and clean.

Indian Creek Camp & Conference Center
Nice family campground
Pool, nice playground, small putt putt course, rec room and other activities available. We are retired and just needed overnight camping and the only site available was tiny and right on the curve of the road. Our firepit and picnic table were less than 10 feet from the road so not private at all. We felt it was overpriced for the site. Others were better but none very private(smallish and no trees).

Gary G.GuideSterling State Park Campground
State Park, almost zero trees
Why the Dyrt has this place listed under "glamping" is beyond me. This is very far from that. A state park, some FHU sites, some pull thru, but it's almost like camping in a prairie. There's so very few trees here, so almost every site will be full sun. Full, blisteringly hot, sun.
It's an ok campground, but that's it. Host (each time we were there) did nothing that we could see. People tend to drive fast here, even staff.
It's right on Lake Erie, which can be good/bad, depending on if the toxic algae blooms are occuring.
City of Monroe is nearby for whatever you might need. (Aldi, etc)
Even though this park is close, it's just not one we like to choose because of the barren feel of the place. (We've been here three times)

One of my favorites because of lake view and swimming lake!" notes a visitor.
Go-karting and mini-golf: Activities for older children are plentiful at Harbortown RV Resort in Monroe. "This campground has everything! Go carts, playground, disc golf, pool, ext... Just a one night stay to visit A friend. If you have kids it is perfect! Staff was nice and very helpful," writes one camper.

Great staff very friendly and helpful." Another notes the site includes "a fishing pond, little store, pavilion, basketball hoops, jumping pad for kids, playground and more for kids to do."
Clean facilities: Monroe-Toledo North KOA in Petersburg receives praise for its maintenance. "Friends and family for a Halloween themed event weekend resulted in lots of fun and good times. The kids stayed busy and made new friends while the adults hung out and had a good time! The staff did a good job running events. Bathrooms are a bit dated, but clean, and the grounds are a bit cramped/packed in, but it makes everything easy to reach quickly."
Family activities: Many campgrounds organize seasonal events. At Monroe-Toledo North KOA, campers appreciate the Halloween programming. "I've been going to this campground for years, but mainly for the Halloween camping. It's a fun time of the year to go and the kids always have a blast. Most sites decorate and some site go all out with haunted houses."
Affordability: River Raisin Canoe Livery offers basic camping at reasonable rates.

What you should know
Site spacing varies significantly: Many campgrounds pack sites closely together. At Sterling State Park Campground, "Sites are nice and large paved slabs, most trees are immature offering little shade." This contrasts with tighter arrangements at other facilities.
Seasonal insects: Maumee Bay State Park experiences mayfly hatches in early summer. One camper reports, "First two nights were perfect but then the may flies hatched (in mid june) and covered everything. Good size sites, friendly staff, great beach and boat launch."

There were zero amenities but she walked the grounds and questioned us making us pay for two friends having dinner with us."
Gate closure times: Several campgrounds close entrance gates in the evening. At River Raisin Canoe Livery, "They lock the gate at 7pm since it is their home. No drinking. This is also a kayak and canoe Livery so they have boats on site or you can bring you own and launch from their dock."
Tips for camping with families
Halloween-themed weekends: Indian Creek Camp & Conference Center and other local campgrounds offer special seasonal programming. One visitor notes, "Weekend getaway - The cons: sites are very small unless you book an 'Eagle' site. There was 7 ft from our stairs to the neighbors camper.

Pros: family owned and operated, small campground kid friendly, free kid activities, everyone was very nice."
Beach access for children: Several campgrounds provide kid-friendly water access. A visitor to Wilderness Campground states, "We love camping here every year. They have a beautiful beach and camp sites right on the water. The campground is also close to a lot of restaurants and shopping."

There are a lot of things for kids to do including a swimming pond, playground, basketball, volleyball, and a catch and release fish pond. There are a couple pull through sites but most are back in and easily fit just about any rig."
Full hookup locations: Sterling State Park has complete utility connections. One camper notes, "One of my favorite things about this campground is that your spots are close together which is great for safety, however with the bushes and brush, it feels super private. My grandparents were in the site next to me in their camper and I had to walk a ways to see their spot."
Electric amperage: Most campgrounds offer 30-amp service, with select parks providing 50-amp connections for larger RVs.
