Best RV Parks & Resorts near Dollar Bay, MI
Several RV parks dot the Keweenaw Peninsula near Dollar Bay, Michigan, providing convenient bases for exploring the Upper Peninsula. City of Houghton RV Park offers 25 paved sites with full hookups including 20/30/50 amp service, cable, and WiFi, operating from May 15 to October 1. The park features wooden decks overlooking the water, though sites are positioned quite close together. Keweenaw Waters Resort accommodates larger rigs with 89 sites featuring full hookups including 30/50 amp service, while Sunset Bay RV Resort provides big-rig friendly sites with 50 amp service and waterfront views. "Despite the sites being pretty close, you have great water views, within walking distance to downtown and a short car ride away from lots of things to do," notes one RVer about Houghton RV Park.
Cell service varies significantly throughout the region, with AT&T generally performing better than Verizon in the Upper Peninsula. Most RV parks in the area maintain sanitary dump stations, though water fill locations can be limited - one traveler at McLain State Park mentioned, "we had to wait for another rig to get fresh water and dump before we could move forward to the second [spigot] that did screw in." Many parks close for winter, typically operating from May through October, though Twin Lakes State Park Campground and River Road RV Park remain open year-round. Leveling can be challenging at some locations; sites at McLain State Park were described as "very sloped" requiring blocks for rear tires and jacks. Most parks welcome pets, with the notable exception of River Road RV Park which prohibits them. Reservations are strongly recommended during summer months when parks frequently reach capacity.
