5 campgrounds with availability this weekend
Several RV parks near Pembine accommodate motorhomes and trailers with varying levels of hookup options. Lake Hilbert Campground provides 112 sites with water, electric, and 30-amp service in a wooded setting. Morgan Park, located on Timms Lake, offers water and electric hookups with spacious pull-through sites for RVs of all sizes. Northern Hideaway RV Park operates from mid-April to mid-October with 50-amp electrical service and water connections. Island Resort and Casino RV Park in Harris, Michigan includes full-hookup sites with 50-amp service and sewer connections from May through November. "The sites are level and we were able to easily navigate the looped areas," notes one RV camper about the casino campground.
Advance reservations are essential during summer months, particularly for premium pull-through sites with full hookups. Dump stations are available at Lake Hilbert, Morgan Park, and Island Resort, with the latter offering a free shuttle service to the casino for campers. Cell service varies throughout the region, with better coverage near Harris and more limited connectivity in forested areas. Most RV parks welcome pets but enforce leash requirements. Road access to Morgan Park includes approximately 4 miles of gravel road that may be challenging for larger rigs during wet conditions. Winter camping options are extremely limited, as most facilities close between late October and early May due to harsh Upper Peninsula weather patterns.
from $35 - $59 / night
"Near Escanaba, this clean campground is easily accessible from a Highway 2. The campground is at the back of the casino tucked amidst tall trees."
from $23 - $28 / night
"I can confirm that there is a trailhead, national campground, private campgrounds, and boat launches down this road. Another review mentioned a site, that now has a no camping sign on it."
"This area is gorgeous, it's surrounded by lake superior, and there is a really neat old lighthouse with pit toilets at the end of the road.."
"Seems peaceful but busy. Sites are pretty close together so if you looking for quiet privacy I would look elsewhere."
from $30 - $65 / night
"Would've given 5 starts if the sites had electricity, but theres still plug in over by the pavilion. Definitely a gem of a find.!!!!"
"Easy to get to. quiet campground. I would suggest smaller campers and tents"
"My husband and I have been traveling around the US and happened on Summer Breeze at the last minute. Nikki and Jerry are wonderfully accommodating, the campground and its facilities are very clean."
"We had full hook up and everything was literally a breeze!"
"The back tent areas are great, great walking trails, right on the water, the staff is so friendly and do daily checks to check if you need fire wood or anything."
"There are miles of ATV and Side x side trails down the road, We spend the whole day riding and never see it all and they are well groomed."

from $25 - $30 / night
"Less than $200 for a full week w/ electric. 2 restroom/showers kept spotless. Overlooking the swimming beach. Highly recommended!"
TravelerThere are 3 sites at this location. The 2 southern sites can fit decent size trailers. The middle one, which we stayed in, for my 26” trailer pulled by my suburban. Pulled straight in and pulled straight out. Site was clean and the views were awesome!
LegendThis is a lovely campground for families. Easy access to the lake for fishing and kayaking. The water side sites are great! Clean facilities and hot showers. Our next door site neighbors had 12 kids between their 2 sites. You can imagine we did not have a peaceful experience here. Neither the parents nor Camp host gave 2 hoots about quiet hours. The kids were screaming and running through our campsite well after 11 pm each night. Which leads me to my only 2 issues with this campground. There are few cut-throughs to access the bathrooms, so at any moment a stranger could be found unapologetically walking right thru your site. Issue two… I urge you to stead clear of booking site 810. The dishwashing/water station is located inside this site. Not near the road like the rest of them but, inside the site. We spent our evening with either screaming children using it as “safe” zone for freeze-tag, or the entire loop washing their dishes. Not fun….
GuideCampground is situated in an industrial area…warehouses, truck storage, etc. It does have a 150 ft narrow sand beach on a bay in Lake Michigan. Campground is a flat somewhat charmless place with tight spots. All the “full hook-ups” appear to be farthest from the water. Seems like a good amount of seasonal folks here escaping from midwestern heat. Bathrooms and showers are centrally located and are VERY clean and nice. We’re here just one night so no complaints but I wouldn’t stay longer than that.
TravelerI absolutely loved it here first time staying and will be back many more! Would've given 5 starts if the sites had electricity, but theres still plug in over by the pavilion. Definitely a gem of a find.!!!!
GuideWe love the quiet beautiful lake, the forest is beautiful, do watch the trees when choosing your site. We did not reserve, we drove up, followed the directions to choose a site and are staying 2 weeks. And we will be using bug spray, lots.
ScoutWe spent almost $200 on three nights of camping here. They charge $28 a night + $15 a night if you're out of state. On top of that you have reservation fees, tax and have to purchase a sticker for $55. For this price we expected clean and modern facilities, but they were dirty and dated.
We found our campsite to be the smallest we've ever camped in and it was covered in invasive vines and poison ivy. It was more of a summer camp for kids and families than a quiet, peaceful getaway.
If you have a family and want to ride your bike around and eat ice cream at the beach then this park is for you. They have a huge golf course too, not exactly a shining example of forest preservation.
GuideMost of the sites were well spaced with a lot of trees in between. Bathrooms are clean. Each site had the standard picnic table and fire ring. My only complaint is that the path along the river had cutoffs to each campsite, and people would cut through where I was staying.
GuideCampground is not far off of the highway. The road is a bit rough but paved. Some of the sites are tight and not level. I had two Verizon cell bars. Good spacing between campsites, plenty of trash receptacles. All sites are blocked off with boulders and you can't drive all the way, in you have to park outside of your picnic area.
GuideCame in late, and it was a great site. Full hookups, reasonable price, and nice site. The sites near the entrance were not what we like…crowded and dark. The sites in the lower portion, however, were pretty nice. Looked like quite a few campers were there for long stays.
