    Clyde, Michigan

    Port Huron KOA, located near Kimball, MI, is a bustling campground that offers a ton of activities and amenities, making it a great spot for families and groups. This place is packed with things to do, from swimming pools and basketball courts to bike rentals and playgrounds. There's even a children's train and a fun park nearby with go-karting and more.

    The campsites are spacious and level, with plenty of room between them, which is a big plus if you're rolling in with a big rig. Some of the best spots for campers are sites 54, 179, and 180, which offer a bit more space and a backyard feel. If you're into glamping, they've got cabins and even some luxury options.

    One thing to note is that this campground can get pretty lively. It's not the quietest place, especially with kids zipping around on banana bikes and golf carts. But if you enjoy a bit of excitement and don't mind the hustle and bustle, you'll fit right in.

    Pets are welcome, and there's a dog park to keep your furry friends entertained. The campground also has essential amenities like drinking water, electric and sewer hookups, showers, and toilets. Plus, there's a market on-site for any last-minute needs.

    Overall, Port Huron KOA is a fantastic spot for a fun-filled camping experience with plenty to keep everyone busy. Just be prepared for a bit of noise and activity, especially during peak times.

    Island Lake Recreation Area is a 4,000-acre park in Livingston County that offers an "up north" experience without leaving southeast Michigan. The terrain is a mixture of open brush land to mature hardwood forest, with some pockets of open meadows mixed in. Island Lake is the only balloon port in the state park system. Balloons usually take off in the early morning or late evening, depending on the wind and weather.
