Best RV Parks & Resorts near Grand Rapids, MI

Several RV parks around Grand Rapids provide full hookup services for motorhome travelers. Hidden Ridge RV Resort in Hopkins features concrete pads with 50-amp electrical service and can accommodate big rigs on its spacious sites. White River RV Park in Montague operates seasonally from May 1 to October 15, offering sewer, water, and electric connections. Eastpointe RV Resort in Grand Haven supports both land and boat access with full hookup sites for larger RVs, operating from May through October. Cedar Springs RV Resort contains pull-through sites with water and electric hookups, though some reviewers note highway noise affects certain campsites. One camper mentioned that "the highway's a little closer than it looks, so you do get a lot of road noise, especially when trucks hit the chatter bumps on the side."

Advance reservations are recommended for most Grand Rapids area RV parks, particularly during summer and fall weekends. Most facilities provide sanitary dump stations, though Steamboat Park Campground in Jenison notably lacks this service despite offering sewer hookups at individual sites. Pet policies vary by location, with most parks permitting dogs but enforcing leash requirements and designated pet areas. Seasonal operation is standard throughout the region, with most parks closing between late September and mid-October. Proximity to services differs significantly between locations - some visitors noted Hidden Ridge's relative isolation, with "the closest gas station 15 miles away." Winter camping options are extremely limited, as virtually all RV parks in the area close during colder months.

    Beach Campground — Holland State Park

    Great Proximity to the Beach

    Holland State Park is popular for its expansive sandy beach along Lake Michigan and Lake Macatawa where swimming, sun bathing, fishing, and boating are popular activities. Holland SP has two campgrounds – the Lake Macatawa Unit and the Beach Campground (which is where we stayed and the focus of this review). The Beach Campground is essentially a parking lot as the sites, patios and roads are paved with little grass among them. It is nestled between dunes which adds to the scenic value and blocks the strong winds coming off of Lake Michigan. The Lake Unit campground is much larger (211 campsites) than the Beach Campground and has more of a state park feel with trees, grass, and fire pits. 

    Site description:

    The Beach Campground has 98 RV sites of which 31 are 50 amp full hook-up and two camper cabins.  Some sites towards the northern section of the park have great views of Lake Michigan but be warned that strong winds can come off the lake and really shake your RV.  When we were there in early May the winds were very strong with blowing sand which made us really glad we were not near the water.

    Campsites are plenty wide to fit your RV with slide outs and car next to it without feeling cramped. Utilities are at the very back of the site so you may need an extension for your sewer hose. All sites were level. Every site has a picnic table. There are no fire pits at individual sites but community ones are located near the beach and you are permitted to use your own fire pit if you have one. 

    We were able to get nearly two dozen television stations with our antenna and had no problem locking into a satellite with our roof-mounted dish. Verizon phone and hotspot worked well. 

    So is this park big rig-friendly? In general, yes. Our site was certainly long (and wide) enough to fit our RV and the tow car next to it. However, we did have the back five feet overhanging the sand at the back of the site. This was no problem for us because our stabilizing jacks are in between our back tires. We were also there at a time when the park was fairly empty so backing in and pulling out was no problem. The sites are all set at an angle to the main road which makes backing easier. 

    Campground amenities:

    By far the beach is the biggest draw to the campground. The wide beach lures sunbathers out in warm weather and is popular for a walk at sunset.  There is a playground, picnic area, community fire pits, dump station, boat launch and concession stand. There is one restroom/shower house that was very clean but no laundry facilities.

    What we liked:

    We loved that fact that this campground was so close to water and the nice paved path for walking and hiking trails in the main part of the campground. Within 50 yards from our site we could be walking along Lake Macatawa or along the sandy shores of Lake Michigan. The beach is wide and expansive and is the place to be for awesome sunsets. When we were there the beach was not crowded because it was cold and windy but it would be a great place to enjoy a good book under an umbrella. Definitely liked the fact that this was a full hook-up state park with level sites.

    What we didn’t like:

    The park is essentially a parking lot with little grass and trees. What really surprised us was how many cars drove through the campground that were not staying there. There apparently are no restrictions on who drives through the park so many day-use visitors came by just for a look resulting in unnecessary traffic.

    Be advised there is a “no alcohol” policy in the park and campground and you have to sign a piece of paper saying you will abide by that rule. The rule states that “Possessing or consuming alcohol is prohibited in all areas of the park throughout the entire year” even inside your RV. 

    In order to enter the state park you must have a Michigan Recreation Passport which costs $32 for an annual non-resident OR you have to pay $11/day to enter the park even if you are camped there. 

    Pet:

    There are plenty of places to walk dogs here and access points to water if your dog likes to swim. Unfortunately, they are not allowed on the beach but there is a long walking path and within the main part of the park are miles of hiking trails and a nice overlook.  This park does not have an unleashed dog park; however, there is one within five miles at the fairgrounds.

    Oak Grove Resort & Campground

    Great RV Resort close to Lake Michigan

    Clean family friendly RV Resort. Pool, hot tub, modern restrooms and showers, playground, laundry and bike rentals. I believe all the sites are full hookup, cable t.v. and wi/fi. Less than a mile to Lake Michigan and close to boat launch and Lake Macatawa.

    Bertha Brock County Park

    A favorite spot

    Bertha Brock is a great place for families. Brining our kids here from Grand Rapids is quick and easy. It is generally quiet, especially on non holiday weekends. Occasionally there is chopped firewood up front, you get a goof amount for your money. Relatively close to town if you need to purchase food or other gear. Bugs (mosquitoes) can get pretty bad, bring lots of bug spray! Near ionia state park with a nice beach for swimming or boating (no wake). Campground manager is very nice and helpful if needed.

    Hidden Ridge RV Resort, A Sun RV Resort

    Modern RV resort

    Hidden Ridge is a modern RV resort within 8 minutes of Gun Lake and sandwiched between Kalamazoo and Grand Rapids. There is no tent camping available at this location.

    All sites include a concrete pad, fire ring and full hook-up. 120/150 amp

    Lots of activities for the whole family. There is a pool, hot tub, bounce pillow, splash pad. Children’s activities are planned throughout the week and adult activities, as well.

    Gun Lake is crystal clear meaning you can see the sand/pebble bottom. There is fun to be had on this nice-sized Lake.

    Not far from Hidden Ridge is a race track that is busy each weekend with all manner of race cars.

    Double RR Ranch RV Resort

    Lots to do

    There is a river to explore and we always get a riverfront site. Rivers are just fun for fishing, throwing stones, canoeing. There is a campstore, Firepits, large trees, they do hayrides for kids, too. We enjoyed a reasonable trailride on horses thru a shallow part of the river. Very easy for inexperienced riders and kids. It is close to a town to get take out food if it rains. There are some larger vacation lodges to rent that ars nestled away in the woods, and a bunkhouse with rentals. My husband liked the golf course that came with renting spot. Seen lots of wildlife. Very relaxing time in our pop up not too far from Grand Rapids.

    Beach Campground — Holland State Park

    Beach Campground = Parking Lot

    If you like to camp in a parking lot, like Walmart or Cracker Barrel, you will love this lake side campground- it's a parking lot! 

    PROS 

    Toilet/shower facilities very clean 

    2 bars TMOBILE 

    Walking distance to Lake Michigan 

    Rangers strictly enforced beach closure each evening- lots of sirens. 

    CONS 

    Pricy state park camping at $53/night for full hook up

    $8 Fee to make on-line reservations 

    Since out of state, we had to purchase a $39 Michigan State Park Permit in addition to paying for campsite 

    No senior or veteran discount 

    Campground is one big asphalt parking lot with painted lines to delineate each site. Absolutely no privacy from any other campsite. 

    Camping is slammed together as tow vehicles have to be parked next to camper/RV insufficient space to park in front of camper/RV 

    Must check-in before going to campground even with on-line reservation and payment in full 

    3pm check-in was strictly enforced--there was quite a line of RVs backed up at 230pm. Once registration opened it took us 20 minutes to register. 

    Needed plumbers tape to connect hose to site water faucet 

    Waist high weeds behind campsites 

    No shade and most of time too windy to deploy awning 

    No security gate closure overnight. 

    Anyone can drive through or walk in from the beach. 

    Lots of drive thrus by non campers 

    No campfire rings or lantern poles at campsites 

    Lots of campfire debris dumped behind campsites from those who bring their own fire pit and charcoal grills 

    Site 396 not level 

    No park WIFI

    Lake Michigan Campground at Muskegon State Park Campground

    Lakeshore Campground at Muskegon State Park

    Staying in the north loop of the Lakeshore campground. Sites were level and shaded by mature trees. Road is a bit narrow which made backing out travel trailer in a bit tricky, not impossible. Family friendly campground that is a couple hundred feet away from Lake Michigan. Will definitely come back.

    Hoffmaster State Park Campground

    Woods & Water Wonderland!

    Great family campground - Paired with the area offers many options! 

    With mostly modern sites situated in hardwoods, pines, or a mixture, we stayed in the hardwoods area; however, my kids would have enjoyed the pines better for it appeared to have hammock hanging at almost every site. Well-maintained and clean restrooms had soda vending machines. 

    Children's play area with equipment and activity field, where several kites were hoisted high into the air, were great. Gillette Visitor Center in the State Park area about 1/4 mile away offers Explorer and interpretive programs Tuesday through Saturday, with topics ranging from nature history/preservation to information on wildlife. We enjoyed the spider and bear presentations most, but maybe that is because I have all boys! The campground beach, only a 5 - 10 minute walk from any site, was awesome! While there wasn't a lifeguard, I appreciated the "flag system" advising how safe the water is each day. Unfortunately, a red flag was flying on our visit, so we only waded at the water's edge- but - still cool to lay out on the sugar-like sand and walk its 3 mile length! I do regret not making it back to the beach for sunset as our camping neighbors RAVED about it the following morning! 

    My favorite part of this campground was the trails. In addition to several trails within the campground (the one along the creek was especially loved!), many more can be accessed in the state park, which contains over ten miles of trails in its 1,200 acres. Trails to dunes, beach, and other parks as well as dune preserve: all well-marked and vary in difficulty, weaving through pine and hardwood forests nestled among dunes. Plus, the adjoining North Ottawa Dune Preserve offers an additional ten miles of trails! OMG - what a phenomenal place for a walk in the woods or trail running! One of our walks was up a 5-story staircase near the nature center, leading to an observation platform with expansive views of majestic dunes and Lake Michigan. I was impressed that a portion was barrier-free. 

    Some family ventured into nearby towns of Muskegon, Spring Lake, and Grand Haven to experience what they had to offer: shops, museums, World War II boats, piers to walk, and several craft breweries - all 15 minutes away! Our dogs enjoyed the visit to the unleashed dog park at Coast Guard Park that is a ten-minute drive or a five-mile walk through the trails. 

    Logistics to note: Campground sells ice - $2/7# bag and wood/$5.50 a bundle. We quickly realized that residences outside the park sold it at $5 for larger bundles. Area grocery stores include a Meijer superstore and Leppinks grocery. We preferred Leppinks for the quick trip and Meijer for items beyond groceries, such as that forgotten bathing suit or a propane tank for the grill. While we don't have a big rig, I did notice the backup of campers at the two campground dump stations Sunday before 1pm checkout. Being a state park, Hoffmaster requires vehicles have a recreation passport to enter ($11/year -residents and $32/year -non-residents or a daily rate of $9). No alcoholic beverages between April 15 and Labor Day. 

    I talked to a ranger about coming back later this year, and he told me it is best to book months ahead for weekends because they fill up at the beginning of summer; however, cancellations are not uncommon, so watch the DNR site for openings. Weekdays usually have availability, especially the first half of the summer. He added that a great time to visit would be the weekend before Halloween as they encourage people to decorate their sites, wear costumes, and participate in trick or treating on Saturday night.

    Markin Glen County Park

    Modern Campground Close to Downtown

    This is a modern campground with full hook-ups and cement parking areas. It is a newer campground, so there is not an old-growth canopy shading the sites. Each site has a picnic table and a fire ring. Some sites are pull-throughs. Tent camping is allowed, but most campers have RVs.

    There is a bath house with good showers.

    The park also has a lake with a beach, although I have never been in it.

    This campground has a great location for people who want to visit Kalamazoo. One downside is that there are train tracks that run near the campground and sometimes the engines idle for extended periods at night.


Guide to Grand Rapids

RV parks near Grand Rapids, Michigan offer seasonal options with varying accessibility from urban amenities. Most campgrounds in the area operate from May through October, with seasonal closures during winter months. The region features multiple waterfront camping opportunities along rivers and lakes within a 30-minute drive of downtown Grand Rapids.

What to do

Kayaking on White River: White River RV Park & Campground provides direct river access for paddlers. "We brought our kayaks and just brought one vehicle up the river to the start point to put in and got out right at the campground," explains one visitor who appreciated the convenient water entry points.

River cruising at Steamboat Park: This year-round campground offers unique boating experiences right from the property. "They have river cruises that leave directly from the office. These two hour cruises offer drinks and feature live music from local bands for only $16 per person," notes a camper at Steamboat Park Campground.

Horseback riding near Belding: Double RR Ranch RV Resort combines camping with equestrian activities. "We enjoyed a reasonable trailride on horses thru a shallow part of the river. Very easy for inexperienced riders and kids," reports a visitor who appreciated the family-friendly riding options.

Golf access included: Some campgrounds offer recreational amenities beyond typical outdoor activities. At Double RR Ranch, one reviewer mentioned that "my husband liked the golf course that came with renting spot," indicating no additional fees for camping guests to use the course.

What campers like

Family-focused activities: Woodchip Campground earns praise for its kid-friendly setup. "We love this as an easy getaway close to home... There are campsites in a circle around the playground, so you can sit at your site and watch the kids play," writes one reviewer who appreciated the thoughtful layout.

Clean facilities: Steamboat Park consistently receives compliments for maintenance standards. "Card operated laundry. Rigorously cleaned restrooms and showers - the best I've seen," notes one full-time RVer who considered this campground among their favorites after two years on the road.

Spacious, level sites: Many campers value the concrete pads and site quality at Hidden Ridge RV Resort. "All sites are good size sites with a cement pad and very green grass. It is also very well run and maintained," observes one camper who found the site consistency worth the higher price point.

Water recreation options: Multiple campgrounds offer water access beyond swimming pools. At Hidden Ridge, one visitor noted, "Some of the things they have to do are swimming pool, playground, basketball courts, fishing, kayaking, jump pad, and lots of paved roads for bike riding."

What you should know

Highway noise concerns: Location relative to major roads affects some camping experiences. At Cedar Springs RV Resort, campers should prepare for traffic sounds. As one reviewer notes, "The highways a littler closer then it looks, so you do get a lot of road noise. Especially when trucks hit the chatter bumps on the side."

Distance from services: Some campgrounds are relatively isolated despite proximity to Grand Rapids. Eastpointe RV Resort offers different logistics with one camper noting it's "biking distance to town," while Hidden Ridge presents challenges where "there isn't much close the the campground at all. Like the closest gas station is 15 miles."

Site spacing variations: Campgrounds differ significantly in site density. Some offer privacy while others maximize capacity. "Sites are small. Great trees surrounding the property," notes one camper about Woodchip Campground, contrasting with Steamboat Park's "very spacious sites" that multiple reviewers praised.

Seasonal operations: Most RV parks close during colder months. White River RV Park operates "May 1 to Oct 15," while Eastpointe RV Resort runs a shorter season from "May 1 - Oct 1," requiring advance planning for fall camping trips.

Tips for camping with families

Activity-focused bookings: White River RV Park & Campground stands out for organized recreation. "Amenities include basketball court, playground, horseshoe pits, walking trails, heated pool, etc. Plus, you can 'float' in tubes, kayaks, or canoes (your own or rented) from a launch site two miles away," explains one family camper.

Themed weekend planning: Woodchip Campground offers special events throughout the season. "We came here for a fall camping weekend. Kids loved going on wagon ride to find the pumpkins and then decorating them. They really enjoyed the glow wagon ride. Root beer floats Saturday night were great!"

Golf cart rentals: Larger campgrounds often require transportation within the property. Hidden Ridge addresses this need as one visitor explains: "Because of the size of this campground most people get around by golf cart. We rented a golf cart from them, which our kids had a blast just going for rides around the campground."

Pool features: Water amenities vary between properties. At Steamboat Park, visitors appreciate the distinctive "salt water pool overlooking the river," while White River RV Park offers a "heated pool" that extends the swimming season during cooler months.

Tips from RVers

Winter camping options: Year-round RV sites are scarce in the region. One reviewer highlighted a key exception: "The also really awesome thing about this park is that it is year round. Year round parks are so hard to find in Michigan. This one is awesome," referring to Steamboat Park Campground.

Big rig accessibility: Hidden Ridge accommodates larger vehicles with appropriate hookups. "All sites include a concrete pad, fire ring and full hook-up. 120/150 amp," notes one reviewer, making it suitable for larger motorhomes requiring higher electrical capacity.

Trash service differences: Campgrounds vary in convenience services. One camper at Hidden Ridge observed, "I found it odd the there isn't trash pickup at the site. And the only trash bin we could find was at the entrance of the grounds (which was quite a distance from 241 our site)," contrasting with other parks that offer site pickup.

Riverfront site selection: Several campgrounds offer premium water-view sites. At Steamboat Park, "half of the sites are directly on a wide fast moving river. Occasionally a paddleboat goes buy with tourists," creating opportunities for scenic camping with passing boat traffic adding visual interest.
