Most RV campgrounds in the region operate seasonally, typically from May through October, with limited year-round options. Reservations are essential during summer months, particularly for premium lakefront sites. Dump stations are available at most parks, though some like Kalkaska RV Park offer pump-out service twice weekly for $10. Many parks accommodate pets with designated walking areas, though fenced dog parks are less common. Propane is available at select locations like the Petoskey KOA. Cell service and WiFi quality vary significantly between parks - Vista Green RV Resort provides free WiFi, while others offer it through third-party services for additional fees. Roads within some campgrounds can be narrow with tight turns, making navigation challenging for larger rigs. Gravel sites predominate in the area, often requiring leveling blocks for proper setup.
