Best Campgrounds near Wayne, MI

511 Reviews

Wayne, Michigan camping puts you close to several good options within driving distance. Maumee Bay State Park Campground sits about 41 miles from Wayne and has 256 campsites with electric hookups that work well for RVs. Some sites have full hookups too, which is handy for bigger rigs. The park has fishing, boating, and trails where you can walk or bike. Sterling State Park Campground is closer at 26 miles from Wayne and can handle travel trailers of any size with its updated facilities and clean shower buildings. Many campers like the fishing here and the pull-through sites give you plenty of room. The campground doesn't have much shade though, so bring something to block the sun. You should book ahead during busy times since both places fill up fast. Check on fire rules before you go, and keep your stuff secure since you're not far from town. While camping, you might want to check out Toledo or the local parks nearby. Both campgrounds have different things to do whether you stay for a weekend or longer.
