Best RV Parks & Resorts near Lake, MI

Outdoor Adventures Mount Pleasant Resort and Harrison RV Family Campground offer full hookup RV sites with varying amenities near Lake, Michigan. Both parks accommodate big rigs with paved roads and spacious sites, though electrical options differ. Mount Pleasant Resort provides 50-amp hookups, sewer connections, and water at each site, with seasonal operation from April through October. "Pretty basic campground with paved sites and a nice lake. Not much space, trees or privacy. Clean restrooms, showers and laundry," noted one visitor about Soaring Eagle Hideaway RV Park, which operates April through October. Farther north, Lake Billings RV Park features 30-amp service, dump stations, and boat-in access for campers traveling with watercraft.

Soaring Eagle offers shuttle service to nearby casino properties, adding convenience for visitors interested in entertainment beyond camping activities. Cell service varies by location, with stronger signals reported near Mount Pleasant and diminished coverage in more remote northern locations.

    Rvino - Camp Cadillac, LLC

    Not fancy, but nice

    Really nice little campground. Not fancy, but clean and well kept. Pool and petting zoo for the kids. Small store with ice, few necessities and ice cream. Pond in the back on the small river for fishing. Quite a few seasonal campers. Anywhere from rustic to full hook up. Pet friendly. All gravel/dirt/grass sites. Most have trees. Fire pits quite small. Bathrooms very nice and updated.

    Herrick Recreation Area

    Rustic but fun

    Rustic feel as all sites are electric but no water hook up. There are spigots in the center as well as a dump station and potable water fill. My family has camped here for years as it is close to home. They sell fire wood and the bath houses are cleaned multiple times as day and the showers are usually pretty warm as well. Great place to camp as a group. A few different play grounds and a full beach across the road.

    Benton Lake Campground

    Larger sites in the woods along a lake

    In the Huron-Manistee National Forest is this rustic campground. The sites are really big and spread out. They are split between 2 loops. The first loop was almost filled so we checked the second one and found a site away from others. It felt like we were alone until we took a walk around the campground. Picnic table, fire pit and lantern stand are standard. Paved spots for rv’s with plenty of room for tents. Vault toilets are spread throughout. There is even a parking area for visitors. 

    We walked down the short trail to see the lake. The trail goes partially along the lake but it’s not very long. We saw 2 piers- one had a jet ski tied to it. Camp was quiet enough to hear the tree fall just outside our campsite. Would it still make a noise if we weren’t here? 

    This is a peaceful discovery that is perfect for a getaway.

    Fantastic Campground!

    Cadillac Woods Campground

    Great Old School Camping

    This campground is the perfect spot if you want to still have a camping experience and get away from RV parks. The terrain there makes for a beautiful view. The new owners are great and made our group feel right at home! The pool, putt putt, and walking trails were nice as well! The pull through sites were great for the two 28’ fifth wheels and 30 ft bumper pull in our group. There are a lot of trees but the new owners have worked hard to make sure the sites are cleared enough to park in. Will definitely be back again and will be interested to see what more great things Shane and Cindy have in store for this place.

    The Lost Oak's Campground

    Awesome Wooded Campground!

    We stayed here over Labor Day Weekend 2021 and had a great time. The electric sites are all large campsites that are very long with lots of options on how you want to setup. Awesome wood pricing that's delivered directly to the campsite. Lots of walking trails and the campground was dog friendly. Extremely friendly owners who keep the campground and it's facilities very very clean. The outdoor showers were great! Great water pressure and HOT water! There's a little Fresh Produce stand across the street, easy walking distance for some great veggies, eggs, and baked goods. Can't wait to come back and see what the new owners have added after the season!

    Great Cell Coverage on AT&T (80mbps+ down); decent coverage on Sprint/TMobile and Verizon.

    Kestelwoods Campground

    Quaint, clean, and the perfect mix of amenities and nature!

    This place was great for a family trip! Clean showers and bathrooms, large sites, nice layout of the grounds, beautiful heated pool, and super friendly staff! In the Manistee National Forest, close to major trailheads, and right between two prime access points to the Pine river for canoeing and kayaking. Less than a mile to river trip rental locations also.

    Shelley Lake Campground

    If you’re overlanding and just

    need a quiet crash the night spot. It’s with ok sized sites. But for $10..... how can you not give this 5 stars. Couple hiking trails and ground to explore and relax after driving all day. Probably wouldn’t recommend any big rigs.

    Brower Park Campground

    Beautiful County Park

    Brower Park is a quiet campground with three separate areas with sites. They accommodate large RVs as well as smaller trailers and tents. Each site has a fire pit and a picnic table. Electricity and water hookup is included at each site. Our site was near the Muskegon River and was very peaceful. Bathrooms and showers were clean and easily accessible.


Guide to Lake

The RV campgrounds near Lake, Michigan operate primarily from April through October due to northern Michigan's seasonal climate. Located in the central part of Michigan's Lower Peninsula, this region features rolling hills, mixed forests, and several lakes and rivers that attract seasonal visitors. Most campgrounds maintain paved sites suitable for recreational vehicles up to 40 feet in length, with varying electrical capacity and water access.

What to do

Fishing access: Lake Billings RV Park & Campground features a swimming and fishing lake with a dedicated play area for children. "Very nice showers. Bathrooms were clean. They have a very nice swimming/play area for small children," notes Dakota R., who visited the Lake Billings RV Park & Campground.

ORV trail riding: Manton Trails RV Park provides direct trail access from campsites, eliminating the need to transport vehicles to trailheads. "Great campground. Booked two nights and had to request a third it was so perfect. We went up because it advertised orv access right from campsite. It's really handy to not have to trailer over to the trailheads," reports Jen L.

Water activities: Campers at River Valley RV Park can enjoy a 7-acre swimming and fishing pond plus river access. "Rentals of boats, paddle boards, fishing boats, paddle boats and banana bikes. Nice camp store," according to Levi D., highlighting the variety of water recreation options available.

What campers like

Casino shuttle service: Soaring Eagle Hideaway RV Park offers free transportation to nearby entertainment facilities. "This campground is a few miles from the casino, but offer free shuttles to the soaring eagle properties (including the water park)," mentions Stephanie C., adding that "the use of the water park is included in your stay at the RV Park."

Water park access: Families appreciate complimentary admission to nearby water attractions when staying at select campgrounds. "4th of July fireworks the best and so close! Super clean restrooms and Laundry," states Renee C. about her experience at Soaring Eagle Hideaway.

Live entertainment: Manton Trails RV Park hosts weekend performances for guests. "Spacious, super clean bath house and on Saturday nights listen to live music right at your campsite!" shares Tammy C. about the Manton Trails RV Park, Hotel & Campground.

What you should know

Tent site limitations: Electrical access varies by campground and site type. "The tent camping spots DO NOT have PLUGS which was really irritating because tent camping you're definitely gonna need an outlet," cautions Dezi T. about Lake Billings RV Park.

Site conditions: Root systems and natural features affect setup at some locations. "The sites themselves are small, ours had massive roots that made walking and setting up outside a challenge. We saw a couple of people actually moving their campers to different sites," shares Amie R.

Seasonal operation: Most facilities close between late October and mid-April. "This is a great little campground. Clean and well maintained. We used it as a base camp for canoeing on the Manistee River and it served us well," notes Richard about Manton Trails RV Park.

Tips for camping with families

Group site planning: Consider reserving additional sites when camping with extended family. "We had a family, socially distant reunion with 6 sites. We rented a extra site, so nobody could rent near us, sooo nice!" explains a visitor at Manton Trails RV Park.

Water recreation: Multiple campgrounds offer swimming areas specifically designed for children. "Very nice showers. Bathrooms were clean. They have a very nice swimming/play area for small children. Great WiFi connection," reports Dakota R.

Long-term stays: Extended camping trips allow for regional exploration. "I have been here for over 2 weeks now and I am absolutely loving it! The Camp Hosts are delightful and helpful. It's a quiet and peaceful setting," shares Donna M. at Harrison RV Family Campground.

Tips from RVers

Big rig considerations: Site dimensions and access roads vary across campgrounds. "We have a 28.6ft 5th wheel and had not problem getting in and parked! Management did an awesome job of spreading out guests until they were full!" reports valerie C.

Marina services: Boat owners can utilize water access at River Ridge RV Resort. "This is a ver nice RV resort where you can be a transit RVer or be a season RVer. Nice pool, clubhouse, bathrooms, laundry room, and all the other amenities. They also have a marina so if you have a boat they will put it in the water for you," notes a visitor.

Weekend crowds: Expect higher occupancy during weekends and holidays. "Weekends gets crowded especially with kids, since is the time when everyone comes out to play in their RV's," explains a reviewer at River Ridge RV Resort.
