Best RV Parks & Resorts near Iron Mountain, MI

Several RV parks surround Iron Mountain, Michigan, providing a range of options for motorhome travelers. Rivers Bend RV Resort & Campground offers 140 sites with water and electric hookups, including both 30-amp and 50-amp service options for larger rigs. Just 30 miles south, Island Resort and Casino RV Park features full hookup sites with sewer connections and operates from May through November. Klint Safford Memorial RV Park in Iron River provides full hookup RV sites with 50-amp electrical service and remains open from May through early December. Paint River Hills Campground in Crystal Falls accommodates big rigs with full hookup sites including water, electric, and sewer connections. "The sites were level, had shade trees, nice paved roads, clean, quiet and right on the river! We had full hook up with cable," noted one RV camper about Rivers Bend.

Most RV parks in the region require reservations, particularly during summer and fall color seasons. Dump stations are available at nearly all parks, though placement can sometimes be challenging. One traveler mentioned that "the dump site is unlevel and leans away from hose hookup making it difficult to fully flush holding tanks." Cell service varies throughout the area, with better connectivity at RV parks closer to town. Pet-friendly policies are standard across most campgrounds, though restrictions apply in certain areas like beaches. For RVers needing supplies, propane and basic necessities are typically available at campground stores or nearby gas stations. Winter camping options are limited, with most RV parks closing between November and May due to heavy snowfall in Michigan's Upper Peninsula.

    Island Resort and Casino RV Park

    Basic RV park with free shuttle to the casino

    We were in Site# 14. We had electric/water with a paved pull-through. We travel towing a 14 foot trailer and were able to fit both in our pull through site along with my jeep.
    The site was easy to level but the wheels of our motor home were off of the ground.

    Check-in is at the hotel. The RV park is not visible from the hotel (it’s back in the woods). There is a phone at the shower house that can be used to request a free shuttle to the casino.

    Our site was not shaded with limited trees. This was a smaller lot with our neighbors fairly close.

    The lot comes with a picnic table and fire ring.

    There was not any WiFi (we used our Starlink). They do not offer Cable TV.

    There is not a community outdoor kitchen or community fire pit.

    They do not provide garbage service at your site so you must walk to garbage dumpster.

    They do have an indoor Swimming pool at the hotel with a sauna and steam shower.

    There is not a Playground. There are not any additional play areas like Bocce ball, shuffleboard, basketball sport court, horseshoe, or volleyball courts.

    They have a general store in the parking lot of the casino where you can also get gas.

    There are restaurants on site in the hotel as well as a spa. The closest big town with stores is Escanaba (about 20 minutes away).

    This is solely an RV park. They do not have any cabins to rent or any tent areas.

    They have one shower house. The shower house has individual showers (toilets & sinks are on opposite side of shower house).

    The laundry facility is located at the BP gas station (located in the parking lot of the casino/hotel). It is a cash only facility, but they have a change machine. It is approximately $2 to wash and $2 to dry a load.

    They do not have a fenced in dog park. There are areas to walk dogs.

    Bugs did not seem to be an issue.

    Some fun things to do outside of the campground are to visit the Sandy Point Lighthouse or Ludington Park in Escanaba.

    The casino is smoke-free. It states that the tables are open from 10am to 2am. Not all tables are available though (for instance, roulette wasn’t always available and if they did open up the one roulette table, it wasn’t until 6 or 7pm). The slot machine options are abundant.

    Camping in the Clouds

    Friendly staff but very rustic

    Overall our stay was pleasant the campground is very rustic facilities on premise could definitely use some TLC. We stayed in a pull through site which was decent. Campground overall was very quiet mainly seasonal or long term sites.

    Van Riper State Park Campground

    Great state park for families

    Van Riper State Park is a must-visit if you’re traveling through Michigan's Upper Peninsula.  It’s popular year-round, although camping is only open between May and October. Stop for the day to hike the trails and go for a swim, or stay a week and enjoy the sunsets and serenity.

    The state park covers both sides of the highway with the campground and day-use area on the south side and a huge section of trails and wildlife viewing areas on the north.

    There are 147 sites in the modern campground, including some sites with 50-amp electric service, and there are another 40 sites in the rustic campground. Plus, there are two mini cabins in the modern campground if you don’t own a tent or RV. All of the campsites have a fire ring and picnic table.

    One thing we noticed is that the sites at Van Riper are very large– so much bigger than many sites we’ve seen at other state parks. This means there is plenty of space for your trailer, truck, bikes, screen tent, kids’ toys, etc. without feeling like you’re infringing on your neighbor.

    Another plus for the state park is the laundry facilities. Two washers and dryers are located in the restroom building near the beach.

    Van Riper State Park is extremely family-friendly, with activities for everyone. There are approximately 5 miles of hiking trails on the north side of the state park. One trail provides a very nice overlook of Lake Michigamme and the surrounding area. Other trails run along the Peshekee River or through the woods and may even provide the chance to see the moose that live in the area. The trails are not difficult, but there is some elevation to get to the lookout. If you don’t want to hike the whole 5-plus miles from the campground and back, you can drive and park at the group campground and go from there.

    A sandy beach awaits both kids and adults on Lake Michigamme. The lake is popular as it is much warmer than most of the lakes in the Upper Peninsula. A large, fairly new playscape is also located near the beach, as well as a swing set. One of the most unique activities is a bike pump track. This is the only state park that we saw that had one. It was very popular with the kids and is conveniently located between the campground and the day-use area. The lake is popular for fishing and if you have a boat you can use the launch in the back of the park. It also is a good location for kayaking.

    O. B. Fuller Campground

    On the shores of Lake Michigan

    You could drive by and miss this little gem. Beautifully kept up county park with clean shower house. Pet friendly, they even have a hitching post for your pet while visiting the bathrooms. On site hosts.

    All sites are within a short walking distance of the beach and some are right on the beach. Site L1 had a good mix of beach and woods. Near the beach is a small playground for the kids.

    O. B. Fuller Campground

    Quiet, clean

    Nice little county campground on lake Michigan. Sandy Beach. Clean bathrooms and showers, and a small laundry facility. Electric and water on each site. Dump station is available for registered campers. Sites are large, not crowded. Mixture of short term campers and long term locals. On site host, not a party spot.

    Holly Wood Hill Campground & Crandon Saloon Event Center

    Clean and Fun

    • Yards on the lower sites are large, lots of room with concrete pads, but power/water hookups at lower sites are designed for motorhomes, not travel trailers
    • Yards on upper sites are cramped and unlevel
    • Taco Truck on site has amazing food!
    • The campground is ATV/UTV friendly but the area “trails” are gravel roads except the ATV park east of Crandon
    • Dump site is unlevel and leans away from hose hookup making it difficult to fully flush holding tanks
    • Driveway to get in and out of dump site is rough and quite tight for a camper longer than 35ft to maneuver around
    • On July 4th wknd we paid $60/night for water and power hookup, a little steep for not having full hookups

    Peshtigo River Campground

    Great for Families and a weekend getaway!

    I grew up about 10 minutes away from this campground and it is still an awesome place to go when we are looking for a “staycation”!

    It’s right by an elementary school so it’s a very safe area, across the road from an AMAZING playground that all ages will love, also about 50ft from a beach! The beach isn’t huge, and is open to the public so at times it gets crowded but is very safe and clean. The beach is on the peshtigo river and is great for kayaking, paddle boarding, boating, jet skiing, and tubing! There is a boat launch less than half a mile towards town on the river that is open to the public! Also includes a skatepark!

    There also are two pavilions on parks grounds, both covered. One is smaller on the beach and includes grills and tables, and the other one has a stage on it for performances!

    This campground is a mix between RV’s and tenting so you get the best of both worlds! Forget some necessities? No Worries! You’re a 10 minuet drive from Walmart and within walking distance of a cafe and gas stations! There are bathrooms, water hook ups, picnic tables, fire pits, and parking.

    (I unfortunately do not have any recent pictures because I lost all of them but google really does a great job of showing what I’m talking about!)

    Awesome campground right on the Menominee River!

    I did a lot of research for campgrounds near Iron Mountain Michigan and we were very happy with this campground. The sites were level, had shade trees, nice paved roads, clean, quiet and right on the river! We had full hook up with cable! That was a nice surprise! We were greeted as soon as we drove in, our site was very nice with a concrete pad.
