    School Section Lake Veteran's Park Campground

    Nice campground

    Was a decent place to camp- lots are very close though! Luckily in the fall it wasn’t very busy. Nice little lake on property. Fire pits in odd spot near the road. No pets allowed-not even a cat that stays inside in your camper! Also- there is a $7 a day fee for out of the county. Even when you arrive late at night.

    Close sites

    Nice and clean. I’m in the inner loop though and the sites are very close together. If I came back I would definitely try to stay out the outer loop. Electric, fire pit, and picnic table on site. No grate. Showers and bathrooms available.

    Devoe Lake Rustic Campround — Rifle River Recreation Area

    Spacious, Quiet, Relaxing

    We were greeted at the gate by an extremely helpful and knowledgeable gentleman. He provided good directions, and helped us with our Rec Pass.

    The site was easy to find, spacious, and had adequate distancing from other campers. It included a fire pit and picnic table too.

    The lake was serene in the early mornings and evenings. Listen for the woeful call of the loons. What a treat!

    Word of caution, the raccoons start partying as soon as you bed down. Make sure your food and trash is adequately covered/contained.

    Campground has vault toilets. We never used them but good to know they have them.

    Northern Bear Paw RV Park

    Words Can’t Describe

    This place is gorgeous. Owners have done a great job with the property. Pine trees left intact. It’s sits on the Au Gres River trail to the river with seating, picnic table and fire pit. The grounds are immaculate. Very peaceful setting.

    North Higgins Lake State Park Campground

    Nice overnite stay

    We stayed for a quick overnight and wish we could have stayed longer. If we stayed again - we’d pick site 101. Little more privacy than the rest. We stayed at 137 which backed up to the woods which was lovely. This is a very bustling and full campground with lots of groups and families. Lot’s of kids on bikes. We were surprised to see a group with a full bar right out front on their site. We’re used to Texas parks where that would NOT fly😆 But everyone respected the quiet hours so we had no noise issues at night. Easy access to the water from everywhere thanks to groomed paths. Nice long but narrow sandy beach great for the kids to swim. Busy but very fun place to camp!

    Bay City State Park Campground

    "Late night check in"

    We came in late for just a place to rest before heading further north. Drop box available after 10pm(summer). Between 8p-10p there is a yellow phone to check in with. Can book day of until 8pm online. Easy to get into late at night. Big lots. Fire pit. Sites are electric only. Recommend to have extension cord for some sites, as plug in can be far. Website has pictures for sites and will advise if lot gets wet. Staff was very friendly the next morning. Updated our rec pass at the park before leaving. Lots of trails and swimming beach near park.

    Bay City State Park Campground

    Amazing weekend for the kids!

    This is one of the best campgrounds for kids that I've ever visited!!!

    The campground itself is beautifully laid out and maintained. It features roughly a 150 some odd sites ranging from tent sites to RV and cabins. Each site has a cement fire ring and electric hookup. There are communal water spickets generously scattered around the grounds. The bathrooms and showers are very clean. They are closed an hour a day for thourgho cleaning and restocked and wiped down in the late evening. They have one large group camp area, but it is for organizational reservations only (as most of them are). Howeve, there is a cul-de-sac of 5 or 6 (I can't remember) sites off by itself. Those sites are very large (except the one on the end, which of course we had reserved for the weekend) and have huge space between them. There is also an additional parking pad there for overflow. Though they're not a sanctioned group site these would be perfect for it. We've already planned to reserve these sites next year for our large (35+people) family camp weekend. The drive around the campground is all paved and very long, so be sure to bring your bikes!!

    Now for the amusements and conveniences. . . . . There is a small playground in the campground, but you have to cut through campsites to reach it. There are trails for hiking around the wider state park area as well as a few that lead across the street to the swim area and day park. Take a 2 min walk from the camp office across to the day park and you'll find the Spray by the Bay splash pad, a huge timber playground, beautiful sandy beach along Lake Huron, sandy swim area, geocaching, pavilions, well kept bathrooms and changing rooms. We spent all day at the park with 4 kids 6yrs and under and not a single on of them complained of being bored.

    They have campground hosts that facilitate free activities organized by the park. We did a kids craft and enjoyed hot cocoa or coffee Saturday morning and then returned after dinner for Back-to-School bingo and popcorn. See pic of the August schedule for a better idea of what was offered.

    They sold ice and wood at the camp office and there was an ice cream place next door to the park. It's a 5 min walk from the park office.

    We didn't have to leave the park once all weekend. It was so relaxing to have everything we needed on hand and not have to run out for things.

    One final note: there were quite a few May Flies. According to the park office they're pretty much there all summer. They weren't bad at the campground except at night around the bathrooms. We walked over to the day park before breakfast one morning and the playground was covered with them. As the day got hotter and the playground got busier there were hardly any, but that morning visit was rough. We actually abandoned the playground till later in the day.

    Cadillac Woods Campground

    Great campground

    This campground is a small gem close to Cadillac, MI. The owners are friendly and go out of their way to make you feel welcome. Showers were hot and bathrooms were clean. A well stocked thoughtful camp store had those last minute forgotten items. While you can book online, I would call the office and talk to the owners because not all sites are easy to maneuver a camper into and may not be a good choice for your size camper.

What campers like

Clear water at Higgins Lake: The lake is known for exceptional water clarity and sandy bottoms. A camper at South Higgins Lake State Park wrote, "The beach is clean and the water clear. The beach is great for kids to play in safely while the parents chill at the shore." Water visibility extends several feet down in most areas.

Recently renovated facilities: Wilson State Park Campground has updated its amenities. "Showers and Rest Rooms have been updated and were well taken care of. The park rangers were extremely friendly and helpful," notes one visitor. Another mentioned, "The campground is beautiful and very clean with a great swim area, cute playground, and newer shower houses."

Privacy in certain camping areas: For those seeking more secluded glamping, River View Campground & Canoe Livery offers quieter sections. "The rustic sites along the river in section 'N' were very large and spacious spots. Sections L and M seemed to be tightly packed in," according to one camper.

What you should know

Site conditions vary significantly: At School Section Lake Veteran's Park, the terrain can be challenging after rain. A visitor noted, "I wish we had gravel verses dirt though, during the rain it gets a bit muddy." Many sites throughout the region have similar conditions.

Seasonal considerations: Most glamping sites around Beaverton operate May through October. For winter glamping, options are limited. "Make sure you bring insect repellent!" advises one camper at School Section Lake, highlighting the need for bug protection during summer months.

Tips for camping with families

Tips from RVers

Power connections: Plan your setup carefully at some locations. A visitor to Higgins Lake-Roscommon KOA mentioned, "Our water hook up was on the opposite side of the site from the power and sewer hook up so we had to have a hose running across our site; glad we had an extra hose to use as an extension."

Site sizing and leveling: Many RV sites require careful selection based on rig size. As one camper at School Section Lake noted, "You almost need 2 lots if you have a trailer that's larger than 25 ft. Especially if you have slide outs." Another KOA visitor shared, "Site 61 did take some time to get all leveled out almost didn't have enough blocks."
