Within 30 miles of the capital city, Holiday RV Campground in Grass Lake features spacious pull-through sites with sewer, water, and 50-amp electrical connections, operating seasonally from May through October. Hideaway RV Park in Jackson offers year-round access with concrete pad sites accommodating large rigs, while Moscow Maples RV Park in Horton provides 30-amp service on more modest sites from May to mid-October.

    Holiday RV Campground

    Nice Park

    Nice park for full timers. Large spots to accommodate big rigs and kids. Full hook ups. Cell service great with Verizon hotspot (22u, 20d, 38ms and AT&T cell(27d, 20u, 27ms). Playgrounds everywhere for the kids. Giant dog park and ponds. Pool was closed. Just needs more grass. Our spot was really patchy and resulted in a lot of mud.

    Great campground with polite and helpful staff. Don’t pass this one up.

    Ted Ranch Campground

    No thrills, largely rustic, family oriented, friendly

    This campground is pretty rustic with water and electricity at some sites, no showers or restrooms, a dump station for one at a time, Porta potties scattered around, small beach, small boat launch, mostly appears to be seasonal sites without sewer or rustic sites. Some but not a lot of shade, rolling fields being made into smaller sized sites. Dogs and dogs pens are allowed, and they do not appear to have parents who are attentive or keep them from barking. Friendly staff and family of four owners.

    Oaks Campgrounds

    Nice for the Night

    Friendly staff. Camp store in office. Pull through full hook up site. Seemed to be more of a permanent campground but everyone was friendly. The campground hosted activities such as a potluck and dj dance party at the pavilion.

    Bruin Lake Campground — Pinckney Recreation Area

    Bruin Lake Campground

    Wonderful place even when it’s packed. Harder to get reservations over the years but always a great place to stay. Awesome bathrooms newly renovated. Nice spots. Mostly paved in the lower sites. Nice swimming area however no beach sand. Just a grassy area. Public boat launch on Bruin lake. Bruin lake connects to a few more lakes creating a nice chain of lakes. Half moon at the end of the chain is a great all sports lake. Awesome fishing. Sites have electric, no water. There is a dump station. Wood and ice available for purchase and a few vending machines. Nice hiking trails. They do have a few hike in yurts and hike in camping sites. Decent parking places for those hike ins.

    Hell Creek Ranch & Campground

    Great, clean private campground with easy access to the state parks.

    This was our first time staying here. Great private campground with rustic, elec, water/elec (30 amp), and concrete pad sites. Very clean campground with nice shower house. Owners are very friendly. Direct connections to the Waterloo Pinckney trail system. Near Hell, Michigan and Chelsea, Michigan. Large pool in season. Priced reasonably.

    Sleepy Hollow State Park Campground

    I know another great Michigan State Park

    What can I say, I love the Michigan State Parks.  I find they are the best, Sleepy Hollow is not different and it has so many things to do.  I would advise if you want to camp there on a weekend to make reservations well in advance.  We stay here because there are only 2 campgrounds in the Lansing East Lansing Area this being one of them and the other does not have all full hook ups and charges more.  When we visit our daughter at Michigan State University this is the place we stay,  20 - 30 minutes into the University depending upon the traffic.

    It has large wooded sites only electric but you can fill up the water at the dump station.  Each site has a picnic table and Fire ring.  Each campsite has a asphalt pad. They sell fire wood at the campground office. Bring what you need or you can go into St. johns to the Kroger or Walmart.  they have 2 main camping loops with 2 loops in each of the main loops and a shower restroom in each main loop.  The restrooms are very clean and kept up.  I love the showers  hot water and for me that is hot and great pressure, I could shower all day.  Sure beats our shower in the RV.

    The State Park is on Ovid Lake and it is a beautiful lake, great for fishing, canoeing, paddle boards, kayak, and swimming. they have a shelter for you if you have a big party.

    They also have a group campsite and a picnic area for large groups. d You can also bring your horses go to the Equestrian area and unload and get on the trail.  

    You can rent canoes, kayaks, paddle boats and paddle boards.  They also have a great play ground for the kids and a fishing pier. Bring Bikes or just hike on the trails and head down to the beach.

    Seven Lakes State Park Campground

    Great waypoint when camping across the UP

    Vibe: Woodland getaway with no flash and really nice sites. 

    Cleanliness: Sites are above average. Vault toilets are…vault toilets. 

    Facilities: Nothing flashy. Wish there was a few additional water filling points and that the dumpsters were all located near the camp entrance/exit. But really nothing to complain about. 

    General spots: Large, very well treed, gravel, picnic table and fire ring. 

    Privacy: Can see neighbors through sites, but better privacy than most places. 

    Our site: 39. Could drive circles around inside it. Even has a tree in the middle of it with room to drive all the way around it(not with a trailer). Depending where you set up your rig, you may need an extra long extension cord. 

    Noise: Quiet. Occasionally hear wolves howling. Cell signal(Verizon): 1 bar. No internet loads. Text messages will send and receive. Sometimes immediately, sometimes hours later. Other: Wish we had a chance to explore the lakes. Sounds like the swimming and fishing is good. Saw several kids on bikes toting rods.


Guide to Lansing

Most Lansing-area RV parks operate seasonally from May through October, with Hideaway RV Park in Jackson offering rare year-round service. The capitol region spans the rural-urban divide, with campsites ranging from convenient city access at Lansing Cottonwood Campground to more pastoral settings in surrounding communities. Lansing experiences humid continental climate with hot summers and cold winters, making seasonal camping restrictions practical.

What to do

Fishing opportunities: Several RV parks near Lansing include fishing ponds or lake access. Cottonwood Campground features multiple ponds for fishing according to one camper who noted, "A couple ponds for fishing. People are very friendly."

Paddling adventures: The waterways around Lansing connect multiple lakes for extended paddling trips. A visitor at Crooked Lake Campground shared, "This area is great for paddling. You can start at Crooked Lake and follow a little water trail to Pickerel to swim at a small beach."

Golf courses: Some campgrounds combine camping with golfing opportunities. A guest at Holiday Shores RV Park reported, "The attached 9 hole golf course was well maintained and had some tricky holes. There were changes in elevation and multiple water hazards."

Walking trails: Paved and unpaved trails provide exercise options without leaving the campground. One Holiday Shores visitor mentioned, "You will also find several nicely paved paths up to 3 miles long. These were walking only which was sort of disappointing because we brought our bikes."

What campers like

Primitive camping options: While most Lansing-area RV parks focus on hookup sites, some offer more rustic options. A Cottonwood camper explained, "We camped in hammocks and had a pretty large site with great trees that could accommodate at least three to four hammocks (siteP5). Our site had a picnic table which was very helpful to have."

Seasonal activities: RV parks offer special events during peak seasons. A Cottonwood visitor commented, "Great fireworks display for the 4th of July," while another mentioned softball tournaments held at the campground.

Swimming amenities: Several parks maintain pools or swimming areas for summer recreation. A visitor to Camp Turkeyville RV Resort described, "Family campground with restaurant, gift shop, camp store, ice cream parlor, and heated pool."

Concrete pads: Level, solid surfaces simplify setup for larger rigs. A Turkeyville camper noted, "Concrete patio at each site. Daily trash pickup at campsite," and another added, "There are 127 sites all of them have a firepit and electric hook up and cement pad."

What you should know

Site variations: Campground layouts vary significantly across the region. A Hideaway RV Park reviewer observed, "Spots had plenty of room, some had grass others had concrete."

Road noise: Some campgrounds experience traffic sound from nearby highways. A Hideaway RV Park visitor mentioned, "Biggest downfall is the never ending traffic noise from the expressway."

Cell service quality: Mobile coverage varies significantly between locations. A visitor to Heartland Woods Family Resort reported, "The internet was not very good and Verizon cell phone was not good at all."

Seasonal restrictions: Most RV parks around Lansing operate from May through October. Moscow Maples RV Park runs from May 1 to October 15, while Holiday RV Campground operates May 1 to October 31.

Tips for camping with families

Playground options: Multiple play areas keep children entertained. One Holiday RV Campground visitor noted, "Playgrounds everywhere for the kids. Giant dog park and ponds."

Pool conditions: Swimming facilities vary in quality and availability. A Camp Turkeyville guest mentioned, "There is a volleyball pit, playground, and horseshoes. The 'fishing pond' is very small."

Wildlife awareness: Natural settings bring wildlife encounters. A Cottonwood camper warned, "Spiders came out at alarming numbers, mostly daddy long legs and the night before, raccoons had gotten into our food storage bins by undoing the side latches on them."

Entertainment options: Some parks offer additional recreation. A Camp Turkeyville visitor described, "This is a nice place with pool, kids pad, laundry, family showers, individual showers, mini petting farm, train ride and an entire little small village dedicated to entertainment of camping."

Tips from RVers

Leveling requirements: Site conditions affect setup procedures. A Holiday Shores visitor commented on their convenient pad: "Our lot had a cement pad which required no leveling. The electrical, water and sewer connections were all easy to access."

Spacing considerations: Site proximity affects privacy and comfort. A Turkeyville RV Resort visitor cautioned, "The only negative is the campground is basically in a field with very little trees and the sites are close together."

Hookup availability: Water and electrical connections vary across parks. A visitor to Lighthouse Village RV Resort advised, "My only 'con' is that full hookups are scarce and don't have the perfect angle and view of the W/E sites. If you want the best sites, forego the 'full hookup', pay less for the best and closest view of Lake Huron."

Reservation policies: Booking practices differ between campgrounds. One Holiday RV Campground reviewer warned about "Antique reservation payment system," suggesting securing reservations through reliable channels.
