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.
Reservations are recommended during peak summer months as riverfront sites at establishments like River Ridge Resort fill quickly. Most RV parks in the region maintain dump stations and trash collection, though winter closures typically begin by November. Several campgrounds permit pets with standard leash requirements. 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. Parks with full hookups generally command higher nightly rates, averaging $45-65 depending on amenities, with occasional discounts for weekly stays or extended reservations.

TravelerReally 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.
RangerFairly easy to get to... last couple miles you'll want to pay attention to ruts and potholes. Tiny loop at the end, with room for 6-8 tent campers or 3-4 small travel trailers. Not big rig friendly. Little buggy, very muggy. Surprised to see other people here. 3 other parties and myself. Quiet, though. Okay place for a one nighter.
TravelerWoohoo! What a campground! I’m currently camping here attempting to stay long term. It’s a bit packed of long term-ers but there are a few openings. As far as the daily hookup sites/regular tent sites are absolutely darling. Plenty of space for whatever you need plus a vehicle! There’s a huge pond in the center of the campground with an inflatable slide that the kids absolutely love. The pond gets fairly deep which makes it perfect for all ages. Including the little beach front it has making it perfect for the lounging parents or the toddlers to play in puddles of water. I brought my own electric scooters to ride around site but the campground is walkable! The store up front has almost everything you’d need in an emergency or an “oops I forgot XYZ” situation. There is a small cafe as well on site which is awesome for a quick bite! Laundry on site has 2 washers and 2 dryers.. which I think is fair! The bathrooms/showers are clean and plentiful. Staff is fairly friendly as well. I do feel the employees need proper training based on the campground itself (like the price of propane or the ability to book sites without management assistance) which are all an easy fix for such an awesome place.
LegendIn 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.
TravelerRustic 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.
ScoutThe campground is a small, family friendly campground that has a lot of activities for both adults and kids. It is clean, has level sites and well maintained facilities.
TravelerThis 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.
TravelerWe 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.
ScoutThis 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.
