    SUMMARY PRESENTED BYT-Mobile

    State recreation areas and county parks surround Goodrich, Michigan, creating a diverse camping landscape within a 30-minute drive. Holly Recreation Area's McGinnis Lake Modern Campground offers heavily wooded sites with excellent hiking and biking trails, while Groveland Oaks County Park provides family-oriented camping with extensive recreational amenities including swimming beaches, playgrounds, and boat rentals. Seven Lakes State Park Campground features year-round access with both lakeside and wooded sites. The region supports various camping styles from modern RV sites with full hookups to rustic tent camping, with several properties offering cabin and yurt rentals for those seeking alternatives to traditional camping.

    Reservations are strongly recommended, particularly for summer weekends when lakefront campgrounds fill quickly. Most state recreation areas require a Michigan Recreation Passport for entry, while county parks typically charge separate entrance and camping fees. The camping season varies by property, with some parks like Holly Recreation Area and Seven Lakes State Park operating year-round, while others like Groveland Oaks County Park run from late April through early October. As one camper noted, "The lake has a small shallow swimming area and beach that gets very busy during the day but less traffic right before sunset." Insect activity can be significant in summer months, with several reviewers mentioning the need for mosquito protection, especially in rustic camping areas.

    Many campgrounds in the area feature water recreation as their primary attraction, with fishing, swimming, and boating opportunities widely available. Campers frequently mention the quality of hiking trails, particularly at Holly Recreation Area where one visitor praised the "excellent hike/bike trails." Site privacy varies considerably, with some campgrounds offering spacious, well-separated sites while others place campsites closer together. Weekday camping typically provides a quieter experience, as noted by a recent visitor who reported, "During the weekdays I only had a few neighbors further down in tents or travel trailers. On Thursday almost all sites filled up." Cell service is generally reliable throughout the area, though signal strength may vary at more remote sites within the recreation areas.

      Metamora-Hadley Recreation Area

      Nice state park

      As usual, there's only electric at sites, but the pedestals seem fairly new, and tight. South loop is nicely wooded & has a newer, larger restroom/shower building, not much lake view. The north loop is a little less wooded, with the NW end having a little better lake views, but a pretty ancient restroom/shower facility.

      Across the lake is the day use area with a beach and concession stand. (There's a small camp store in the north loop.)

      ADA Only sites are asphalt paved. Some of the regular sites could be a challenge to get level on, but the rangers told me they have wood blocks for loan if you don't have enough.

      Our first night & a half, we had some terrible neighbors two sites over. Constant profanities, yelling at & threatening their kids... real dirtbags. Rangers booted them from the park! Good to see them taking such positive action. I have not run into a single staff member here that wasn't pleasant.

      This was our first time here. A test run, since it's only an hour from home (but feels farther). We'll be back for sure. (Especially with gas prices so high anymore.)

      T-Mobile was only slow LTE at our site, but our Starlink worked perfectly at our site. Might be harder to get a clear shot in the more wooded areas of the park.

      Groveland Oaks County Park

      Absolutely beautiful

      My husband and I actually took our first camping trip in our new camper to this location, but we are novice when it comes to campgrounds. It was nice because there was always an attendant at the office to help. They gave clear and concise directions. The grounds were impeccable. Everything looked fantastic. We have even considered being seasonal here because it is so beautiful.

      Groveland Oaks County Park

      Well kept park :)

      Pretty with trees, although you do have very open views if you like more growth... weekend activities... family park, you need to be able to walk a ways to enjoy all their games, activities and beach...

      Camp Dearborn

      Beautiful!

      We booked this spot and stayed for 4 nights. Large and spacious. Our spot backed up on a hill and the electric hookup was at the back of the spot as opposed to the side like most other campgrounds. You will either need a longer electrical cord or if you can back your RV up far enough to reach you will need something to put under your steps to make them touch the ground. By no means a negative thing, just make sure you are prepared!

      Wayne County Fairgrounds RV Park

      Large Campground With Good Facilities

      This Fairgrounds Campground has several combinations of hookups. There were plenty of available sites when I booked Site 93.

      This site is on neatly mowed grass and it has water and electric connections. There are no picnic tables or fire rings. There are no trees or other vegetation to separate sites

      The bathrooms are modern with showers that have plenty of hot water. The bathrooms were very clean.

      Bookings online are easy. We arrived after closing and my documents were taped to the office windows with directions to my site.

      We used our Starlink Mini and it worked well on a nearly cloudless day with unobstructed access to the sky.

      I would definitely stay here again.

    Guide to Goodrich

    Camping options near Goodrich, Michigan include a mix of state parks and county-operated campgrounds within a 30-mile radius. The area sits at elevations around 850-950 feet with rolling terrain typical of southeastern Michigan's moraines and kettle lakes. Water recreation dominates summer camping activity, with temperatures averaging 70-85°F during peak season from June through August.

    What to do

    Fishing opportunities: At Seven Lakes State Park Campground, the fishing experience draws many visitors. "The lake has a beautiful 2.5 mile trail around the lake that makes this campground great. We brought our own kayaks but they do rent boats. We saw deer and rabbit," notes Karen C. about Addison Oaks County Park.

    Hiking trails: Pontiac Lake Recreation Area features extensive trail systems with varied difficulty levels. A visitor commented, "Plenty of hiking trails and great bike paths. The campground has a large beach, boat rentals, bike paths plus a BMX area and several playgrounds," according to Tim & Nancy C. who stayed at the park during a seasonal event.

    Mountain biking: For those seeking off-road cycling, several parks maintain dedicated trails. As Christie V. noted about Pontiac Lake Recreation Area, "Very nice sites. Wooded and up north feel. Great hiking and world class mountain bike trails. Nice big lake. Only drawback is you must drive to the lake or hike 1.8 miles through the woods on a trail to get there."

    What campers like

    Privacy between sites: Campers frequently mention site spacing as a key factor. At Holly Recreation Area, "Sites were spacious, we loved the national forest," according to David S. Another camper observed that McGinnis Lake Modern Campground — Holly Recreation Area has "sites that are pretty secluded. The fire pits are VERY DEEP, which means you have to be right up on it to see or feel the flame 2 feet below ground level."

    Water recreation access: Multiple lakes provide swimming and boating options. At Seven Lakes State Park Campground, "Sand Lake was our spot and the water was breath taking - it's a small pond really, but great for kayaking. Crystal clear, clean water, a good public beach. Our site had 'private' access and our boys just played in the water for three days," reports Andy B.

    Family-focused amenities: Playgrounds, beaches, and organized activities make several parks suitable for children. "This campground has a lake for swimming, water slide, arcade, boat rentals, mini golf, biking trails and fishing. Lots for kids to do... also skate park and 2 playgrounds," explains Debbie H. about Groveland Oaks County Park.

    What you should know

    Reservation timing: Most campgrounds fill quickly during summer weekends. For Groveland Oaks County Park, one camper advises, "We joined a group site and meet up every major holiday at Groveland. We feel like we went up North without the driving four hours."

    Site accessibility: Some campgrounds present challenges for larger RVs or require longer hookup equipment. "If you're in a camper, make sure you have an extension cord. The power is quite a ways away," warns one Wolverine Campground visitor.

    Seasonal variations: Park facilities and activities change significantly between peak and off-season periods. "We stayed in the rustic Aspen loop and it was fine for early season but come peak season, the sites lack privacy and are kind of small," notes Ashleigh M. about Holly Recreation Area.

    Tips for camping with families

    Entertainment options: Multiple parks provide structured activities. "This is a giant recreation area that features a campground, 3 lakes, tons of trails, and even a splash zone for kids. The campground has it all, electric, cabins, playgrounds, basketball courts," explains Kate K. about Holly Recreation Area.

    Kid-friendly campgrounds: Some parks specifically cater to younger campers. At Clearwater Campground, "A fun little campground with a nice bunch of petting zoo type animals! The beach is clean and the lake is warm! Very nice layout with walking trail around the lake," reports Lisa D.

    Beach access considerations: Swimming areas vary in size and facilities. "The lake has a small shallow swimming area and beach that gets very busy during the day but less traffic right before sunset," shares a visitor about the best times to use water facilities.

    Tips from RVers

    Hookup availability: Electric, water, and sewer connections vary widely. At The Holly Campground, "Level sites with full hookup. Catch and release fishing pond. Nice little swimming area. Nice playground. Cute little petting zoo," notes Noel L., though several reviewers mention inconsistent amenities.

    Site leveling: Many campgrounds feature uneven terrain. "I stayed in site 118 in the trillium loop. Actually feels like camping with all the trees, not lined up in a farmer's field," comments Zachary S. about Holly Recreation Area.

    Campground layout: RV sites often have different spacing and privacy levels than tent areas. "Nice hike to the lake. Large sites and great biking area," summarizes Wendy K. about Pontiac Lake Recreation Area, which offers more spacious parking areas for larger vehicles.
