Belleville camping areas sit in Michigan's Lower Peninsula within Wayne County, near the western shore of Lake Erie at approximately 725 feet elevation. The region experiences humid continental climate with four distinct seasons, making camping opportunities available primarily between April and October when temperatures average 60-80°F during peak season. Most campgrounds in the area feature relatively flat terrain with limited tree cover.
What to do
Fishing opportunities: At Haas Lake Park RV Campground, visitors can access four separate lakes stocked for fishing. "The views of the lake are so pretty, waterfront, fire rings, clean water, full hook ups, and a waste removal service at your camp site if needed," notes one camper who extended their stay by three additional nights after enjoying the peaceful setting.
Go-kart racing: Harbortown RV Resort provides family entertainment options adjacent to the camping area. "Right next to camping is go karts, putt putt and arcade. We had a blast!" writes one reviewer. The activities are accessible by foot from your campsite but require additional fees.
Halloween events: Detroit/Ann Arbor KOA hosts special themed weekends during autumn with decorating contests. A seasonal camper explains, "We've been here a few times. Very close to our house just a nice little getaway. We enjoyed the Halloween weekends. We decorate big and enjoyed other decorations as well!"
What campers like
Lake views: Campsites with water views rank highly among visitors to rv parks in Belleville, Michigan and surrounding areas. One camper at Detroit/Ann Arbor KOA mentioned, "Pretty views of the lake from the lake sites. We have camped here for years. Love the trail around the lake. You have a up north feel in the middle of Ypsilanti."
Concrete pads: Full-hookup sites with solid foundations at Harbortown RV Resort receive positive feedback from RVers. "All concrete roads and pads. Basketball court, sand volleyball, playground, dog run, batting cages and go karts within walking distance," notes a reviewer who appreciated the sturdy site construction and amenities.
Clean facilities: Camp Lord Willing RV Park & Campground maintains high standards for public areas according to visitors. "This is a very clean and beautiful campground. The employees are very friendly and helpful," reports a satisfied camper who gave the park a five-star rating.
What you should know
Seasonal closures: Most RV parks near Belleville close during winter months. A visitor to Wayne County Fairgrounds RV Park discovered this firsthand: "I arrived for a 2 week stay in the area on 11/12. I discovered this campground was closed for the season."
Weather impacts: Heavy rainfall affects site conditions at several campgrounds. One camper at Detroit/Ann Arbor KOA noted, "When it rains several campsites get very wet! There are a lot of trees so some of lots have no grass. Not paved so a lot of pot holes."
Noise considerations: Hideaway RV Park and other parks near major highways experience traffic sounds. "Biggest downfall is the never ending traffic noise from the expressway," reports a visitor who otherwise enjoyed the small, quiet atmosphere.
Tips for camping with families
Playground options: Holiday RV Campground offers multiple recreation areas for children. A visitor observed, "Playgrounds everywhere for the kids. Giant dog park and ponds," making it suitable for families with both children and pets.
Entertainment value: Select campgrounds offering activities beyond basic camping. "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!" writes one Harbortown RV Resort visitor.
Child-friendly events: Schedule visits during themed weekends at Detroit/Ann Arbor KOA. A five-star reviewer mentioned, "This place is by far one of the greatest campgrounds we've been to that is family oriented! We stay memorial day weekend and the last weekend of the season which is the harvest festival. My grandchildren always have a blast as well as grandma and Papa!"
Tips from RVers
Site selection strategy: At Wayne County Fairgrounds, RVers should inspect before selecting. "A number of the campsites are 'buddy' sites meaning your patio opens to your neighbors so be careful which one you pick," advises a camper who noted this layout can be "pretty undesirable when the neighbor is a total stranger."
Level sites: Hideaway RV Park offers accessible pull-through spots with full hookups. "Pull thru spot, super easy to get to, full hookup. Spots had plenty of room, some had grass others had concrete," reports a first-time camper who found the experience straightforward and enjoyable.
Budget consideration: Camping near Belleville provides economical options for RVers seeking full-service sites. "Very spacious sites, all of which are full hookups for a very reasonable price," writes a Hideaway RV Park visitor who considered the campground "a diamond in the rough."
