    SUMMARY PRESENTED BYT-Mobile

    Finn Road Park provides 57 RV-specific sites with full hookups including water, sewer, and both 30 and 50-amp electrical service. The concrete pads accommodate big rigs with level parking areas and reasonable spacing between sites. "Very nice, quite and clean, everything you need, water electric, sewer, cement pad," noted one visitor who planned to return. Northern Bear Paw RV Park, located near Tawas City, offers year-round accessibility with 57 sites featuring full hookups suitable for larger recreational vehicles. Bay City State Park Campground, while not exclusively for RVs, includes spacious sites with electric hookups and access to sanitary dump stations—many sites feature significant shade from established trees.

    Seasonal availability varies significantly among Pinconning area RV parks. Most facilities operate from April through October, though some like Northern Bear Paw maintain year-round operations. Dump stations are available at most locations, with Finn Road Park, Northern Bear Paw, and Bay City State Park all providing this essential service. For larger motorhomes and fifth wheels, pre-arrival planning is recommended as some parks have limited pull-through RV sites. Pet policies generally allow dogs at most facilities with standard leash requirements. During summer months, particularly around holidays, advance reservations become essential as waterfront locations fill quickly. The area experiences significant seasonal demand, especially at parks near Lake Huron where full hookup RV sites command premium rates.

      Frankenmuth Jellystone Park

      Fun RV park and very close to downtown

      Our site was averaged out to $82.71 a night with the weekly rate discount.

      We were in Site# 306 (a deluxe plus RV site - be aware that some of these are back-ins and not clearly labeled on the site map - we had to change sites to a pull-thru). We had Full hook- up with a gravel 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.

      Our site was not shaded with zero trees. We weren’t able to sit outside because of the direct sun until after 8:30pm.
      This was a smaller lot with our neighbors fairly close.

      The deluxe plus lot comes without a concrete patio but with a picnic table and fire ring. They do sell firewood and will deliver to your site.

      There is free WiFi. They do not offer Cable TV but there are quite a few channel options.

      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.

      You are allowed to ride personal golf carts. They also allow you to rent pedal bikes. They do not provide golf cart rentals.

      They do have a heated indoor and heated outdoor Swimming pool and one hot tub.

      There is a Playground. They also offer Gaga ball, basketball sport court, and volleyball courts. There is a Game room for kids. They have a Putt putt course and Jumping pad.

      They have a great general store. There is a separate Activity Center for kids.
      There are tons of scheduled activities for kids like wagon rides, arts & crafts, scavenger hunts, obstacle courses, etc. Activities are scheduled all day from 9am to 8pm.

      There is a snack bar on site from 4pm-9:30pm where you can get hot dogs, brats, pretzels, nachos, ice cream, etc.

      The streets are mostly paved and good for riding bikes.

      This is an RV park with cabins to rent also. Tent camping is also allowed.

      They have two shower houses. The shower house has the typical stalls. There is a great area to hang clothes and store your toiletries in the shower stall. These are kept very clean.

      There is a laundry facility. It is a cash only facility, but they have a change machine in the arcade room. There are approximately 4washers and 4 dryers. It is approximately $2.75 to wash and $0.75 to dry a load.

      They do not have a fenced in dog park. There are areas to walk dogs though.

      Flies were an issue and bug spray was needed.

      There were no trails to hike off of the campground.

      Some fun things to do outside of the campground are Frankenmuth FunShips (chocolate & wine tasting), the Golden Ticket Trolley, the Bavarian Belle (popcorn & sodas) River Place Shops, wineries, and Bronner’s Christmas Wonderland store. This RV park is less than a mile to downtown/River Place Shops where there is tons of shopping.

      Oscoda-Tawas KOA

      Great Campground

      My wife and I stayed at the Oscoda/Tawas KOA for 7 nights in the first part of Sept 2021 at RV site # 10.  The site was level and adequately spacious.  The campground has a fabulous rec room for kids, although we had none with us, and an outside playground with a jungle gym and other amenities.  There are also cabins that we did not see inside but that appear to be well appointed.  The park staff are friendly and were very helpful at check in time and in giving us information about long term stays.  They also provide accommodation for storing RVs for those who book for the season.

      Pine Ridge RV Campground

      Lots of tall pines and hardwoods providing good cover

      Nice pull through sites, some are tight, but none are impossible. Knowledgeable and friendly staff. There’s private land on either side and a dirt bike track that the neighbor owns on the north end, so if you’ve got a light afternoon napper, stay away from that end. Clean facilities, close to attractions and highway. Overall a good spot to stay

      Tawas Point State Park Campground

      Beautiful State Park

      The park is very clean. Some sites are small, some are larger. Have visited many times. Fun interpretive programs for adults and kids. Beautiful beach to spend the day on. Located close to town. Lots of areas to walk as well. Not pet friendly though, they are allowed at the sites, but not on the beach.

      Bay County Fairgrounds

      Great location and quiet

      We stayed here 2 years ago.  The office where payment is made is a few miles away from the actual campground.

      There is a dump station and water at the fairgrounds.  Along the left side near the dump / water station as you enter are huge grassy sites marked by electrical outlets at the rear of the sites. The rest of the fairgrounds are set up like  a traditional campground on a "loop" style.  It looks like almost all the sites will accommodate a 40 footer easily.

      There were 2 or 3 campers who appeared to be long term seasonal guests but it did not distract from our overall stay.

      We pull an Imagine 2500RL pulled by a Ford F-150 max trailer package.

      We stayed 4 nights and spent the days traveling around Bay City.

      Founds a great BBQ that had been shared by MI PLAYGROUND ---  Meaty's Roadhouse BBQ& Sausage Shack Bay City.
      We are planning our Summer 2024 travels and will; be stopping at the Bay County Fairgrounds again this summer.

      Sleeper State Park Campground

      A nice state park

      A nice campground with two loops. Can be tricky getting a large RV in especially during bigger holidays but the sites are large and you can park you camper a few different ways. Decent trails. Beach access across the road. There is a pet friendly section of the beach. Lots of pets here. The bathrooms in the east loop are older and not that great but the other loop has a nice modern bathroom. Sites are mostly flat more so on the eastern loop. We had a nice visit.

      River Ridge Campground

      🌲 River Ridge Family Campground 🌲

      Woohoo! 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.

      Tawas Point State Park Campground

      Great park with a lighthouse

      East Tawas is a place I've visited most of my adult life. There's some walking trails here, the lighthouse is a close walk/bike from anywhere in the park. Getting to town is a few minute drive, or a very long bike ride on the road.

      Like most Michigan State Parks, your site has electric (30/50) only. Water spigots are located in various spots throughout the park. I advise you fill your freshwater tank at home, or when you arrive, at the dump station.

      There's a few ADA sites with concrete pads, all others are grass. Comfort stations are in good shape.

      Beaches are, like most in Michigan, eroded due to high water levels, but still useable.

      You can watch sunrise on the Lake Huron side, sunsets over Tawas Bay.

      I've never really interacted with staff here, but never needed to. Park is clean. There can be lineups at the dump station.

      A few sites are pull thru. Most back-in.

      If you have a vehicle, there's many places to see in the area, like Lumberman's Monument. Tawas has a nice farmers market, worth a visit for fresh veg and other items.

"This campground is a few miles from the casino, but offer free shuttles to the soaring eagle properties (including the water park)," explains Stephanie C.

    Nature trails: The Au Gres River system offers walking paths and wildlife viewing opportunities. Campers at Northern Bear Paw enjoy the natural setting where "Pine trees left intact. It sits on the Au Gres River trail to the river with seating, picnic table and fire pit," according to reviewer Nellie.

    What campers like

    Peaceful settings: Visitors consistently mention the quiet atmosphere at campgrounds throughout the Pinconning region.

    Proximity to attractions: Campgrounds in the region provide convenient bases for exploring nearby towns. Dawn W. praises Pine Ridge RV Campground for its "Great location to Frankenmouth. We love this campground. It's quiet and well maintained... This is our go-to when in the area."

    What you should know

    Site variations: Not all campsites offer equal space or amenities. At Pine Ridge RV Campground, Kristin T. observed, "Some camp sites are squished up to others. Other camp sites have plenty of room. So when you are stuck in a spot that is tight it kind of ruins the experience."

    Reservation challenges: Many parks have limited online booking capabilities. Phone reservations may require persistence, especially during peak summer months.

    Seasonal operation: Most Pinconning area RV parks close between October and April. Year-round options include Northern Bear Paw RV Park, which maintains 57 sites through winter months.

    Tips for camping with families

    Limited family amenities: Many campgrounds prioritize adult amenities over children's facilities. One reviewer noted about Pine Ridge Campground that "it is not a family 'resort' style campground. There is a playground, no pool."

    Water park access: Families staying at Soaring Eagle can take advantage of bundled attractions. "You get discounts at the water park!" shares Renee C., noting, "Super close to the casino, you get discounts at the water park!"

    Holiday celebrations: For summer holidays, consider booking well in advance for special events. "4th of July fireworks the best and so close!" reports Renee C. about Soaring Eagle Hideaway.

    Budget planning: Family trips require considering additional fees beyond site costs. Most Pinconning area campgrounds charge extra for visitors, with daily passes typically ranging from $5-10 per person.

    Tips from RVers

    Site selection strategy: For larger rigs, research specific site dimensions before booking. At Ogemaw County Park West Branch RV Park, Gary D. found "Nice quiet secluded campground in the woods. Nice clean baths and showers. $25 for tent $35 RVs pull threw."

    Pull-through access: Sites with easier access command premium rates but offer convenience. Mitchell C. notes about Pine Ridge that they have "Nice pull through sites, some are tight, but none are impossible."

    Utility considerations: Water quality varies between parks. Several campgrounds in the area report naturally occurring mineral content in the water supply, which may affect taste and appearance but remains safe for use.

    Shade variations: Tree coverage differs significantly between sites. Mary S. observed at Pine Ridge RV Campground that there are "Nice shade trees At Most sites."
