Northern Bear Paw RV Park offers 57 sites with water, sewer, and electric hookups including both 30-amp and 50-amp service. The park remains open year-round with sites that accommodate larger RVs. "An awesome place to stay! Owners are very thoughtful, through, and considerate of the campers," noted one visitor about Northern Bear Paw. Tawas River RV Park operates seasonally from May through mid-October with big-rig friendly sites and full hookups including 50-amp service. At Ogemaw County Park West Branch RV Park, campers find more modest amenities with electric hookups and water hookups but no sewer connections at individual sites.
Advance reservations are strongly recommended during summer months when lakeside parks fill quickly. Most facilities provide sanitary dump stations even when sites lack individual sewer connections. Cell service varies significantly across the region, with better connectivity near larger towns. RV parks typically allow pets but enforce leash requirements and may have breed restrictions. Many parks lack laundry facilities and on-site propane fills, requiring trips to nearby towns for these services. Pull-through sites are limited at some locations, particularly during peak seasons. One camper observed that at Ogemaw County Park, "Nice quiet secluded campground in the woods. Nice clean baths and showers. $25 for tent $35 RVs pull threw."

LegendStayed in cabin 186. Cabin clean. In fall is fairly private but very near dump station and firewood vending. I can imagine in summer there is little privacy as other camp sites surround the cabin. Does have a designated dog beach which I like. Beautiful sunrises over Lake Huron. Newly built shower house. Several sites right on Lake Huron that book up fast. Campground has bags game, volleyball and basketball hoop and several horseshoe pits. Short walk to day use area that has swings, picnic area and nice beach area.
LegendDespite no privacy between sites, I was really impressed with the amount of trees in the campground, still giving the place a woodsy feel. Really nice day use area with a sandy beach, too.
GuideWe found this park on The Dyrt. Cross country travelers needing an overnight hook up site late in the day. We've never been in this area before and called the phone number listed and someone actually answered 7pm....The answering host was extremely polite and very helpful. Beautiful little park with hookups and dump station... Nicely priced...Again the park host was an outstanding gentleman and gets my highest rating possible....
TravelerThe 2 good things about this campground was the full hook up & the large site size. However, my site & a few surrounding sites smelled like sewage from the moment I stepped out of my truck. I couldn't sit outside to enjoy the "fresh" air or open my windows. The picnic table was backed against utility boxes, & the fire pit was within a few feet of the camper behind me. Supposedly there are 3 dog beaches. I found 1 that was a tiny spot with a little bit of sand. I walked over a mile to the park's edge following signs for another dog beach. It didn't exist. Dog beaches are not marked on the map.
GuideWe found the campground well maintained with only vault toilets. The upper sites are paved and take bigger rigs. Lower sites are gravel and for tents. The 140 stairs down to the lake are rustic but doable and only accessible from the lower sites. The lake is beautiful and nice sandy bottom. The night skies were outstanding!
GuideWe spent a wonderful week at Port Crescent State Park and absolutely loved our stay. We were fortunate enough to land one of the few full-hookup sites, and we ended up on one of the best sites in the campground, backed up to a beautiful waterway. Only negative was the slope, needed more leveling blocks than we had.
The wildlife was a constant highlight. We had geese, swans, and all kinds of other birds and wildlife right outside our site. It really added to the experience.
The entire campground was immaculate. Staff were constantly making rounds, cleaning, and keeping everything looking great. The beach was also within an easy walk from pretty much any site, and it was beautiful. The water and beach were very clean, and the breeze coming off the lake made it easy to spend the entire day there.
We also enjoyed walking down to the public beach and going a little farther beyond it with our family and dogs. There was plenty of room to spread out and enjoy the lake.
Overall, Port Crescent was one of our favorite stops. Beautiful campground, great beach, excellent staff, and an awesome setting. We would definitely come back.
TravelerAbsolutely beautiful campground. Mostly shaded spots with lots of trails, paths and areas to walk. Fantastic for pets. Right on the water so sits a very short walk to the beach if you don’t have a beachfront site.
TravelerFirst time staying here. It was quiet and peaceful. There was a larger group by the lake that had a 'really good time' into the night, but zero issues with all the laughter. There were handicapped picnic tables and nice fire rings, but someone in a scooter or wheelchair might have issues with the slopes/dirt. Vaulted facilities were clean but hand sanitizer was empty on both sites. Lake was nice, pretty shallow in the swimming area but the vaulted facility next to it was pretty smelly... even when walking past on the road.
