"The RV spaces are well spaced out and give a sense of privacy," noted one visitor about the year-round park. Groveland Oaks County Park offers RV sites with electric hookups and water access, though the water at sites is non-potable according to reviews.

Haas Lake Park RV Campground provides water and electric hookups for motorhomes with spacious lakefront sites available from late March through early November.
Most RV parks in the Ortonville area require advance reservations, particularly during summer and fall weekends when occupancy reaches capacity. Several campgrounds feature rocky or uneven terrain that may present leveling challenges. A recent review mentioned that "sites are super rocky, plan on wearing shoes the entire time," while another noted that sites above number 80 at Holly Recreation Area are "very hilly and may be difficult to level an RV." Cell service is generally strong throughout the region, with one camper reporting 5G availability at Proud Lake Recreation Area. Electric-only sites are common, with centralized dump stations and potable water fill points available at most parks. Roads leading to campgrounds vary in condition, with at least one park accessible only via "a long dirt road that's really rough," requiring reduced speeds of approximately 12 mph.

Great stop over
This isn’t a remote getaway, it’s a great spot that’s close to everything you need. Some reviews commented on the highway noise, I had no issues. Staff was friendly and helpful, facilities were clean. There’s an illuminated walk path that connects to the Walmart which is super convenient.

I came, desperate and exhausted...I saw, an opportunity for an extended stay...I conquered, my inexperience was met with warmth and accommodating camp attendants and camp neighbors. And God was with me the entire journey from Virginia to this Blessed Ground in Michigan. Seems forever had I longed for so much Peace and Quiet. Forever grateful am I. 😇🥰

Peaceful area.
The lake is very weedy. But silver lake or Bishop lakes are close.

Great Campground
We had a great stay! Didn’t enjoy any of the activities but heard they were a blast. We enjoyed the texted alerts on activities. This was our second trip with our new rv, just chilled and enjoyed. It was a bit noisy at night, it’s to be expected with children and the generation we live in today. Overall a great experience! Hope to return soon to enjoy the activities.

GuideMetamora-Hadley Recreation Area
Nice state park
As usual, there's only electric at sites, but the pedestals seem fairly new, and tight. South loop is nicely wooded & has a newer, larger restroom/shower building, not much lake view. The north loop is a little less wooded, with the NW end having a little better lake views, but a pretty ancient restroom/shower facility.
Across the lake is the day use area with a beach and concession stand. (There's a small camp store in the north loop.)
ADA Only sites are asphalt paved. Some of the regular sites could be a challenge to get level on, but the rangers told me they have wood blocks for loan if you don't have enough.
Our first night & a half, we had some terrible neighbors two sites over. Constant profanities, yelling at & threatening their kids... real dirtbags. Rangers booted them from the park! Good to see them taking such positive action. I have not run into a single staff member here that wasn't pleasant.
This was our first time here. A test run, since it's only an hour from home (but feels farther). We'll be back for sure. (Especially with gas prices so high anymore.)
T-Mobile was only slow LTE at our site, but our Starlink worked perfectly at our site. Might be harder to get a clear shot in the more wooded areas of the park.

Absolutely beautiful
My husband and I actually took our first camping trip in our new camper to this location, but we are novice when it comes to campgrounds. It was nice because there was always an attendant at the office to help. They gave clear and concise directions. The grounds were impeccable. Everything looked fantastic. We have even considered being seasonal here because it is so beautiful.

Well kept park :)
Pretty with trees, although you do have very open views if you like more growth... weekend activities... family park, you need to be able to walk a ways to enjoy all their games, activities and beach...

What campers like
Privacy options: Many campsites in the region offer secluded spots. A camper at Holly Recreation Area praised their experience, stating "We stayed in the Maple loop which had several semi-private sites screened from neighbors by trees. I think site #1 was one of the roomiest and prettiest."
Lake access: Sand Lake at Seven Lakes State Park receives consistent praise. One visitor explained, "Sand Lake was our spot and the water was breath taking - it's a small pond really, but great for kayaking. Crystal clear, clean water, a good public beach."
