Best Campgrounds near Dundee, MI

539 Reviews

The Dundee, Michigan area features multiple established campgrounds suitable for both tent and RV camping, with several options offering cabin accommodations. Wilderness Campground, located within Dundee city limits, provides campsites along the River Raisin with ratings averaging 4.6 out of 5. Other nearby options include Monroe-Toledo North KOA in Petersburg and River Raisin Canoe Livery & Campground, which offers more primitive camping experiences. Most campgrounds in the region maintain seasonal operations, typically open from April through October, with very few facilities available during winter months.

Camping season in the Dundee area generally runs from mid-April to mid-October, with most facilities closing before November. Reservations are recommended, particularly for weekend stays during summer months when waterfront sites fill quickly. The region experiences typical Midwestern seasonal patterns with hot, humid summers and occasional thunderstorms. Most campgrounds offer water and electric hookups, though amenities vary significantly between locations. Several facilities provide sewer hookups for RVs, while others only offer a dump station. As one camper noted, "Nice quite camping. Something to do with kids, bathroom ok."

Waterfront camping is a highlight in the region, with multiple campgrounds featuring ponds, lakes, or river access. Wilderness Campground receives consistent praise for its swimming pond and fishing areas. A recent review mentioned, "Cute catch and release pond. Great staff very friendly and helpful." Family-friendly activities are commonly referenced in visitor feedback, with many campgrounds offering playgrounds, basketball courts, and water recreation. River Raisin Canoe Livery combines camping with kayak and canoe rentals, allowing visitors to explore the waterway directly from their campsite. For those seeking free overnight parking with minimal amenities, Cabela's in Dundee permits RV boondocking in their designated lot, though recent reviews indicate their sanitation station is now permanently closed.

    Mary Jane Thurston State Park Campground

    $34 per night for tent (primitive) camping

    It's expensive to stay here, but at least it's a place to park. And it gets us closer to our destination. There are electric hook-ups on some sites, but it costs more. And they do have water. I didn't see a gray dump, but they probably do have one.

    Mary Jane Thurston State Park Campground

    Lots to do here

    The camp sites on the river are excellent. Some sights are by the highway. They are still nice, but lots of road noise. There is no water at the camp sites, but water is available. There are no shower facilities. There are great hiking trails and a nice frisbee golf course.

    Great place to camp!

    I had a great time at this location. It was clean, had everything that was needed and was a perfect location near the lake. I'll be sure to stay here again in the future!

    Toledo East-Stony Ridge KOA

    First KOA

    Proud Lake Recreation Area

    Amazing

    You need to know that this place is so so clean! The grounds, the sites, the bathrooms and the showers are all impeccable. It is true we were there in the middle of the week, but I’ve stayed at plenty of places during the week where things have been less than desirable. Everyone was most pleasant and helpful and the view of the lake was beautiful. If the campground had been full we probably would not have been able to see the lake from our site.
