What to do
Golfing and RV camping combo: Thunder Bay Golf and RV Resort in Hillman combines camping with golf access. "There is a good restaurant on site and lovely walking area. Although you are nestled amidst the golf course, you can walk the cart paths before or after the days golfers," notes camper Carol W.
Lake Huron beach access: Ossineke State Forest Campground offers direct lake access. "The sites are tucked in just enough to eliminate traffic noise but super close to markets and fuel. Clean privy. Drinking water isn't the best but it would be tougher if there was none," writes Corey O.
Family-friendly activities: Campers Cove RV Park includes entertainment for children. "There are bikes, pontoons, kayaks, canoes and much for that can be rented and is pretty inexpensive. They also have putt putt golf which costs us 1.50 per person," according to Matthew E.
What campers like
Lakefront sites: Black Lake State Forest Campground has two distinct camping areas. "The lower site is where we stayed and literally had a waterfront site.

Water amenities: Indian River RV Resort features water recreation options. "Great pool, separate area for boat/trailer parking. Very quiet at night," writes Eric C. The resort also provides full hookups for RVs.
Maintenance varies: Facilities are maintained differently across the region.
