    Outdoor Adventures Lake Shore Resort

    Large campground. Over 700 sites and 70+ cabins. Open year-round.

    Great opportunities for winter sports. Pools, lakes, mini golf. Designed for young families. Pet friendly but has restrictions on the type of dog.

    Tawas Point State Park Campground

    Nice but busy

    It is very nice and extremely clean. However it is kind of cramped. Sites feel close and everyone was very nosey. Pet beach is nice. Water is beautiful. Convenient location. People didn't listen to rules such as quiet hour and let their badly behaved dogs run loose. Bath house is extremely nice! All in all, I would camp here on an off day/season.

    Tawas Point State Park Campground

    Beautiful State Park

    The park is very clean. Some sites are small, some are larger. Have visited many times. Fun interpretive programs for adults and kids. Beautiful beach to spend the day on. Located close to town. Lots of areas to walk as well. Not pet friendly though, they are allowed at the sites, but not on the beach.

    Tawas Point State Park Campground

    Terrific location

    This is a beautiful and picturesque park. The bathrooms are clean and well maintained.

    Sites are large in general with plenty of room for activities.

    The pet friendly beach is fantastic for dogs as the water is very shallow and let's them be active.

    The access roads on the loop are narrow, so you may need to take some care of if you have a large vehicle.

    There's also a kids playground and volleyball court.

    Sleeper State Park Campground

    A nice state park

    A nice campground with two loops. Can be tricky getting a large RV in especially during bigger holidays but the sites are large and you can park you camper a few different ways. Decent trails. Beach access across the road. There is a pet friendly section of the beach. Lots of pets here. The bathrooms in the east loop are older and not that great but the other loop has a nice modern bathroom. Sites are mostly flat more so on the eastern loop. We had a nice visit.

    Frankenmuth Jellystone Park

    Fun RV park and very close to downtown

    Our site was averaged out to $82.71 a night with the weekly rate discount.

    We were in Site# 306 (a deluxe plus RV site - be aware that some of these are back-ins and not clearly labeled on the site map - we had to change sites to a pull-thru). We had Full hook- up with a gravel pull-through.
    We travel towing a 14 foot trailer and were able to fit both in our pull through site along with my jeep.
    The site was easy to level.

    Our site was not shaded with zero trees. We weren’t able to sit outside because of the direct sun until after 8:30pm.
    This was a smaller lot with our neighbors fairly close.

    The deluxe plus lot comes without a concrete patio but with a picnic table and fire ring. They do sell firewood and will deliver to your site.

    There is free WiFi. They do not offer Cable TV but there are quite a few channel options.

    There is not a community outdoor kitchen or community fire pit.

    They do not provide garbage service at your site so you must walk to garbage dumpster.

    You are allowed to ride personal golf carts. They also allow you to rent pedal bikes. They do not provide golf cart rentals.

    They do have a heated indoor and heated outdoor Swimming pool and one hot tub.

    There is a Playground. They also offer Gaga ball, basketball sport court, and volleyball courts. There is a Game room for kids. They have a Putt putt course and Jumping pad.

    They have a great general store. There is a separate Activity Center for kids.
    There are tons of scheduled activities for kids like wagon rides, arts & crafts, scavenger hunts, obstacle courses, etc. Activities are scheduled all day from 9am to 8pm.

    There is a snack bar on site from 4pm-9:30pm where you can get hot dogs, brats, pretzels, nachos, ice cream, etc.

    The streets are mostly paved and good for riding bikes.

    This is an RV park with cabins to rent also. Tent camping is also allowed.

    They have two shower houses. The shower house has the typical stalls. There is a great area to hang clothes and store your toiletries in the shower stall. These are kept very clean.

    There is a laundry facility. It is a cash only facility, but they have a change machine in the arcade room. There are approximately 4washers and 4 dryers. It is approximately $2.75 to wash and $0.75 to dry a load.

    They do not have a fenced in dog park. There are areas to walk dogs though.

    Flies were an issue and bug spray was needed.

    There were no trails to hike off of the campground.

    Some fun things to do outside of the campground are Frankenmuth FunShips (chocolate & wine tasting), the Golden Ticket Trolley, the Bavarian Belle (popcorn & sodas) River Place Shops, wineries, and Bronner’s Christmas Wonderland store. This RV park is less than a mile to downtown/River Place Shops where there is tons of shopping.

    Sleeper State Park Campground

    Late summer peace

    Went later September on a Saturday and it was perfect. Good mix of tents and rv’s. Everyone was respectful and the whole campground was pretty quiet despite being essentially full. Bathrooms were clean, stocked, with plenty of hot water. Didn’t shower there but there is a ton of showers. Beach was a crazy close walk and really impressive. Even a pet friendly beach too. Camp host had fun activities for the kids (my kids claim this was the best time of the trip) as well as tea, coffee, and hot chocolate. Staff was incredibly friendly

    P.L. Graham Park & Campground (Formerly known as Chicagami Boy Scout Camp)

    Tent Camping

    We showed up fresh off the road from AZ starting a new life here in the great state of Michigan. Two gentlemen met us right at the entrance they seemed to be doing work around the area. The Manager was on the tractor and greeted us right away. I explained we were looking for a place to camp with our dogs. I told him I found him on this app "the dyrt". He explained it would cost $15.00 dollars a night and we paid for two nights. He sold us a great bundle of wood for 10$!!! You can NOT bring your own wood in.

    The Manager informed us of updates that should be coming to the campground as well and I'm very excited for this place to get updates. It's perfect as is but a shower would be amazing to have.

    Tawas Point State Park Campground

    Great Birding

    This campground is as about crowded as Yosemite floor campgrounds. you are right up on top of every one and their mammoth 5th wheels. everyone is super friendly. Dog beach is NOT a beach but a wood walk way out to an area where your swimming dogs can swim. birding trails are great. Bring a repellent for biting flies. watch for many kids bombing around on their bikes & bike trails.


Guide to Cass City

Cass City sits in Michigan's Thumb region, surrounded by agricultural land and hardwood forests within driving distance of both Lake Huron and Saginaw Bay. Summer temperatures typically range from 60-85°F with higher humidity levels, while spring and fall camping can experience temperature swings of 30+ degrees between day and night. Many campgrounds in this rural area experience seasonal closures from November through April when winter conditions make camping challenging.

What to do

Beach access at Sleeper State Park: Located about 30 minutes north of Cass City near Caseville, this park features a sandy shoreline on Saginaw Bay. "Beautiful park with a great location. Private beaches and trails make this park feel very secluded. My family and friends love it!" notes Edmund P. The park includes hiking trails through wooded areas that are accessible year-round.

Water activities at Berwagana Campground: This family-friendly destination near Vassar has a swimming pond and fishing opportunities. "The halloween trick or treating was a blast along with their haunted woods," mentions Nichole W. The campground hosts seasonal events and maintains a well-stocked pond for fishing enthusiasts.

Mini-golf and recreational amenities: Jellystone Park North Port Huron offers numerous recreational options including mini-golf, pools, and more. "There is a heated indoor pool, jumping pillow, playground, trails and camp store," reports Ashley from nearby Campers Haven Family Campground. Multiple campgrounds in the region maintain similar recreational facilities with varying seasonal availability.

Bird watching trails: The region features several wetland areas ideal for spotting migratory birds. "The nature trail around the lagoon is a birder's dream. We saw white egrets, blue heron, sand pipers and their babies," writes Jennifer H. about Bay City State Park Campground. Observation platforms located throughout the park offer excellent viewing opportunities.

What campers like

Clean facilities at Port Crescent: "Bathrooms were clean, stocked, with plenty of hot water. Didn't shower there but there is a ton of showers," notes Tyler H. The campground maintains modern restroom facilities with regular cleaning schedules throughout the day.

Off-season camping options: Several campgrounds remain open into October with reduced crowds. "Went later September on a Saturday and it was perfect. Good mix of tents and RVs. Everyone was respectful and the whole campground was pretty quiet despite being essentially full," reports Tyler H. about Port Crescent State Park Campground.

Waterfront sites available: Many campgrounds offer premium waterfront locations. "Nice place to stay, it's sitting just off of the river, and the lake is next to it, if you like fishing you're going to love it," explains Gary S. about Sebewaing County Park Campground. Most waterfront sites require advance reservations, particularly during summer months.

Dog-friendly policies: Most campgrounds near Cass City accommodate pets with specific guidelines. "The campground is average and needs some updates... The kids really loved the 'Water Wars,' with 11 kiddie pools filled with water balloons to throw at each other," mentions Doug about Berwagana, which maintains pet-friendly sites alongside family activities.

What you should know

Noise levels vary by weekend: Some campgrounds experience higher noise levels during peak season. "Very loud, lots of children, kids will be kids, but the loud music until very late and the dogs barking all hours not necessary!" reports B.J. about Evergreen Park Campground. Weekday camping typically offers quieter conditions than weekends.

Seasonal closures: Most campgrounds in the area operate from April through October. "It is right on the Saginaw bay and it's got a great beach for day use. Would definitely stay again!" notes Chris B. about Sleeper State Park, which closes for the season October 31st.

Weather considerations: The region experiences unpredictable weather patterns. "It was forecasted to rain during our visit to Port Crescent and we decided to brave it and hope the forecast would be wrong. It wasn't," shares Ashleigh M. Fall temperatures can drop significantly at night, requiring proper preparation.

Site conditions vary: Campgrounds may have challenging terrain during wet conditions. "Beautiful park with a ton of nature trails. Fall is a beautiful time to go but be prepared for wet sites," advises a local camper. Spring camping often requires additional site preparation due to wet ground.

Tips for camping with families

Kids' activities schedule: "The camp host had fun activities for the kids (my kids claim this was the best time of the trip) as well as tea, coffee, and hot chocolate," reports Tyler H. about Sleeper State Park. Many dog-friendly campgrounds near Cass City offer scheduled children's programming during summer months.

Swimming options for different ages: "The pool was very well taken care of and there was a nice population of fish," notes Samual N. about Campers Haven Family Campground. Several campgrounds provide both swimming beaches and pools with varying depths appropriate for different age groups.

Multi-family site arrangements: "We prefer the wagon wheel sites at the back of the park, so we can park our campers in a large circle," explains Nicole D. about Krystal Lake Campground. Some campgrounds offer group sites or adjacent reservations for families traveling together.

Educational opportunities: "Plenty of things to do on site," mentions Kevin E. about Evergreen Park. Many local campgrounds provide nature programs that incorporate regional wildlife and habitat education suitable for school-age children.

Tips from RVers

Hookup locations: "Make sure to come with an extension cord - one member of our party had their power halfway into their neighbor's site through a bunch of bushes," advises Deb M. about Bay City State Park Campground. RVers should verify hookup locations when making reservations.

Site selection considerations: "They've got a heated indoor pool, jumping pillow, playground, trails and camp store. No FHU," notes Ashley I. about Campers Haven. Most campgrounds in the region offer a mix of full hookup, electric-only, and primitive sites with varying amenities.

Seasonal site options: "Very nice camp and keeps improving every year we come back!" reports Justin L. about Wesleyan Woods Camp. Several dog-friendly campgrounds near Cass City offer seasonal site rentals with extended stay discounts for those looking to establish a regular camping location.

Pull-through availability: "Sites are spacious enough to open an awning, but you definitely back right up to your neighbor," notes Ashley I. RVers with larger units should specifically request pull-through sites when available, as many campgrounds have limited numbers of these premium locations.
