Best RV Parks & Resorts near Norway, MI

CAMPER SUMMARY PRESENTED BYFord

Norway's Upper Peninsula region offers multiple RV accommodations including Rivers Bend RV Resort & Campground with 140 sites and full hookups for larger vehicles. Island Resort and Casino RV Park provides level, paved pull-through sites with electric/water hookups and operates from May through November. "We had spot #18, kinda remote. Large RVs, very quiet, away from the casino. Inexpensive, clean and very neat," noted one visitor about the casino's park. Country Village RV Park in Ishpeming features big-rig friendly sites with 50-amp electrical service, sewer hookups, and operates seasonally from mid-May to mid-October.

Full-service RV parks in this region typically require reservations, especially during peak summer months. Most campgrounds offer basic amenities like water, electric, and sewer connections, with dump stations available at nearly all locations. Cell service varies considerably throughout the Upper Peninsula, with stronger signals near larger towns. Whitefish Hill RV Park in Rapid River remains open from late April through October and provides full hookup sites with 50-amp service. Sites at many parks have fire rings and picnic tables, though some visitors note limited privacy between neighboring RVs. Pets are allowed at most facilities, though specific restrictions may apply.

    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.

    Little Bay De Noc

    AbsolutelyBeautiful

    We were by ourselves on the first loop site #6. Short walk to sandy beach. (Less than 25-30Yds). Deer in camp when we arrived. $21/night. 1/2 price for those with senior National park pass. Nice fire ring with grill and picnic table. About 1/3 of the 38 sites are first come, rest reservable. Only 2 other campers in area end of September. Could fish, swim or do boating from the site. Need gen if you want electric. No dump station but private campgrounds close and perhaps would let you dump for a fee. Several trails. Lighthouse at end of peninsula about 11 mi away. Fairly level sites. Tent pads with pine needles. Big rigs likely would fit but very narrow and tight squeeze. Length and slides not an issue as sites are large.

    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.

    Country Village RV Park

    Nice Place to Stay

    This park is located about 15 minutes from the town of Marquette and is a great alternative if you can’t get a site in the Marquette Tourist Park (which is closer to town and very popular in the summer). It is located off US-41 which is a major Upper Peninsula thoroughfare but set back about ½ miles so you don’t get road noise but it is still convenient.  The campground is located behind (and within walking distance of) a shopping area that has a meat market, grocery, gas station, movie theater, bowling alley, a few restaurants and a brewery (which has good, inexpensive beer and food). It is also located next to an RV dealer/service center/camp store which is convenient if you need anything. Nearby are some interesting museums including the National Ski and Snowboard Hall of Fame and the Michigan Iron Museum.  You are only about 20 minutes from the town of Marquette which is worth a visit. 

    The park and facilities are well-maintained. The restrooms were super clean as was the pool and all the grounds. The people in the office were super nice in helping us pick a site and with information about the area. The park has over 105 RV sites with varying services and some being held by seasonal people. There are lots of amenities (which we did not use) including swimming pool, hot tub, playground, basketball courts, and more. The pool was super crowded and noisy so if you don’t want to hear kids screaming, stay away from sites close to the pool. The park does not take online reservations so you must call them directly. 

    We were assigned site #104 but could tell our motorhome was not going to get level in the site so we had to straddle the site and park partly in the adjacent grassy area. Luckily, the ground was dry to we didn’t make any deep ruts. Our site did have a nice shade tree on the patio which was welcomed because of the hot weather. The WiFi never worked at our site. We were able to get a clear view of the sky for our satellite television.

    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!)

Guide to Norway

RV camping in Norway, Michigan places visitors in the heart of the western Upper Peninsula at approximately 1,200 feet elevation. The camping season typically runs from May through October, with limited options available during winter months. Summer temperatures average 70-80°F while spring and fall nights can dip below freezing.

What to do

Waterfall excursions: Visit nearby Marinette County, known as Wisconsin's waterfall capital, with multiple cascades within a short drive of Norway. "Marinette Co is the waterfall capital of Wisconsin, so there is plenty to explore nearby," notes one visitor about Morgan Park.

Lake activities: Several area campgrounds offer direct lake access for swimming, fishing, and paddling. "Hike the bluffs, swim, fish, blueberry picking, and much more!" reports a camper at Morgan Park about the recreational options at Timms Lake.

Casino entertainment: The Island Resort and Casino offers gaming alongside camping. "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)," explains a visitor at Island Resort and Casino RV Park.

Lighthouse exploration: Drive south to Peninsula Point Lighthouse for coastal views and seasonal monarch butterfly migration. "We stayed one night at the first dispersed site and had a great view of the lake from the site. The sunset was incredible," shares a camper at Peninsula Point Lighthouse Access Road - Dispersed.

What campers like

Clean facilities: Many RV campgrounds near Norway, Michigan maintain well-kept restrooms and shower facilities. At Country Village RV Park, "Bathroom and showers are super clean. Plenty of hot water."

Accessibility to services: Several parks offer convenient access to nearby towns and shopping. "Located in town, near a Camping World & just behind some restaurants, shops, a brewpub & a hotel, but the other sides of the campground are surrounded by trees/forest because it is the UP," notes a Country Village RV Park visitor.

Level sites: Most RV-friendly campgrounds feature well-maintained, level parking areas. "The sites are level and we were able to easily navigate the looped areas," reports a camper at Island Resort and Casino RV Park.

Natural surroundings: Despite proximity to services, many parks maintain wooded settings. "Lots of trees and foliage so sites are at least semi-private - nearby lake for fishing and swimming and hiking trails too!" shares a visitor at Morgan Park.

What you should know

Limited dispersed camping: Free camping options exist but are extremely limited in the immediate Norway area. "There are only 2 dispersed campsites available here, and both are on the left side of the road (heading towards the lighthouse). But she did say that you are allowed to stay up to 14 days at either of those sites," explains a ranger encounter at Peninsula Point Lighthouse Access Road.

Cell service variations: Mobile coverage varies throughout the region, with stronger signals near towns and limited connectivity in remote areas.

Seasonal limitations: Most rv campgrounds near Norway, Michigan operate only from May through October. Whitefish Hill RV Park follows this pattern, operating "Apr 30 - Oct 31."

Site privacy differences: Campground layouts vary significantly in terms of spacing and privacy. "Not much privacy, cabins are pretty nice," notes a reviewer about one local option, while others offer more separated sites.

Tips for camping with families

Pool amenities: Several family-friendly campgrounds feature swimming pools. "Our kids loved that there is a pool, hot tub & bouncy pillow!" shares a visitor at Country Village RV Park about their family experience.

Beach access: Campgrounds with lake beaches provide natural swimming options. "Overlooks the swimming beach," mentions a camper at Pelican Nest RV Resort and Campground.

Playground availability: Many campgrounds include play areas for children. "They are adding a large game area and they have a swimming pool and hot tub," reports a visitor about recent improvements at Country Village RV Park.

Nearby attractions: Consider proximity to family-friendly destinations when selecting a campground. "Some fun things to do outside of the campground are to visit the Sandy Point Lighthouse or Ludington Park in Escanaba," recommends an Island Resort and Casino RV Park camper.

Tips from RVers

Pull-through availability: Multiple campgrounds in the Norway region offer convenient pull-through sites. "It is convenient with long 80-90 foot level pull thru's with full hookup sites and free wifi," notes a camper at Whitefish Hill RV Park.

Power options: Most RV parks offer 30-amp service, while some provide 50-amp hookups for larger rigs. Check specific amp availability when booking.

Satellite reception: Tree cover affects satellite TV reception at some campgrounds. "We were able to get a clear view of the sky for our satellite television," reports a Country Village RV Park visitor.

Site leveling needs: Site conditions vary between campgrounds and specific site numbers. "Our site was easy to level but the wheels of our motor home were off of the ground," shares an Island Resort and Casino RV Park visitor about their experience at Site #14.
