Best RV Parks & Resorts near Macatawa, MI
Several established RV resorts surround the Macatawa area in western Michigan. Hidden Ridge RV Resort features full hookup sites with concrete pads, 50-amp electrical service, and accommodations for larger motorhomes. Lake Michigan Campground (Beach Campground at Holland State Park) provides 98 RV sites with 31 being 50-amp full hookups, though the campground resembles a parking lot with paved sites and minimal shade. Dutch Treat Camping in Zeeland remains open from April through November with big-rig friendly pull-through rv pads. Grand Haven RV Resort & Campground offers water, sewer, and electrical connections on spacious sites. "The sites 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."
Full hookup rv facilities generally operate seasonally from spring through fall, with most parks closing between late October and early May. Access to Lake Michigan beaches requires additional fees, as Holland State Park charges non-residents $32 for an annual recreation passport or $11 daily even for registered campers. Between Grand Rapids and the lakeshore, cell service remains consistent across most parks. For travelers with pets, many parks accommodate dogs but enforce leash requirements and restrict beach access. A recent review noted: "The campground 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." Dump stations are available at most parks, though premium resorts like Hidden Ridge and Eastpointe provide sewer hookups directly at sites, eliminating the need for tank transport.
