Canton-area RV camping options include several seasonal campgrounds operating beyond the standard summer season. The region sits at a modest elevation of around 750 feet, with autumn temperatures averaging 45-65°F and spring ranging from 40-65°F. Most campgrounds remain open from April through October with limited winter availability, creating high demand during peak fall foliage season.
What to do
Fishing and water recreation: Haas Lake Park RV Campground offers four small lakes with fishing opportunities. "We got a pull thru that was very spacious with a long driveway. Nice lake view across the road. This location has 4 lakes. There is plenty of nature. Lots of trees along a nature trail. Cranes and ducks in the water," reports Karen C.
Go-karting and games: Near Harbortown RV Resort, visitors find family entertainment options. "Just a one night stay to visit a friend. If you have kids it is perfect! Staff was nice and very helpful," notes Noel L. Another camper adds that the resort is "Right next to camping is go karts, putt putt and arcade. We had a blast!"
Hiking and biking trails: Seasonal campers enjoy nature paths at several parks. At Detroit/Ann Arbor KOA, one visitor mentions, "Love the trail around the lake. You have an up north feel in the middle of Ypsilanti."
What campers like
Clean facilities: Many campers prioritize well-maintained bathrooms and common areas when RV camping near Canton. "Very clean, nice sites with a friendly staff," notes a reviewer at Holiday RV Campground. Another camper at Harbortown RV Resort praises the "clean bathrooms and shower rooms."
Spacious campsites: Larger RV sites provide room to spread out. A visitor to Hideaway RV Park observes, "Very spacious sites, all of which are full hookups for a very reasonable price." At Haas Lake Park, guests appreciate that "Sites were huge and the campground was so clean and beautiful!"
Seasonal activities: Halloween weekends receive particular mention at several campgrounds. At Detroit/Ann Arbor KOA, Beth G. reports, "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 you should know
Road conditions: Access roads vary significantly between properties. At Haas Lake Park, reviews emphasize the need for caution: "There is a camp store. Small bathrooms with a few showers. Pretty views of the lake from the lake sites. We have camped here for years. Love the trail around the lake. 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."
Seasonal closures: Winter camping options become limited after October. At Wayne County Fairgrounds RV Park, a camper reported, "I arrived for a 2 week stay in the area on 11/12. I discovered this campground was closed for the season."
Noise considerations: Highway proximity creates background noise at some locations. A Hideaway RV Park visitor notes: "Small yet mostly quiet local camp. It's away from all of the daily hoopla but close to towns if you need things. Biggest downfall is the never ending traffic noise from the expressway."
Tips for camping with families
Playground access: Multiple play areas benefit families with children. At Holiday RV Campground, a camper notes, "Playgrounds everywhere for the kids. Giant dog park and ponds." Harbortown RV Resort similarly receives praise: "Basketball court, sand volleyball, playground, dog run, batting cages and go karts within walking distance."
Kid-friendly events: Some campgrounds organize regular family activities. A visitor to Harbortown RV Resort reports, "Went mothers day weekend and had a great time. Mother's day activities were great and were free!"
Entertainment options: On-site recreation provides convenience for families. At Camp Lord Willing RV Park & Campground, guests enjoy "a peaceful friendly environment with seasonal and experienced campers. Lots are gravel. Shower House is at the front and not in a centralized location. Staff is awesome!"
Tips from RVers
Site selection strategy: RVers recommend personally inspecting sites when possible. At Detroit/Ann Arbor KOA, one camper advises: "I would suggest to come in the park and drive through and pick a spot that you like before making reservations."
Level sites: Many campgrounds offer concrete pads for easier setup. "All concrete roads and pads," reports a visitor to Harbortown RV Resort, while Holiday RV Campground receives praise for "Large spots to accommodate big rigs."
Drainage issues: Weather can impact site conditions significantly. A Holiday RV camper notes: "Just needs more grass. Our spot was really patchy and resulted in a lot of mud." Similarly, at Detroit/Ann Arbor KOA: "When it rains several campsites get very wet!"
