Wolf Lake Resort and Campground

30 Tent Sites

Wolf Lake Resort and Campground in Muskegon, MI, offers RV sites with full hookups alongside 30 tent sites. Contact the resort for site count, amp service, and maximum rig length — those specifics aren't published here. Laundry, a bathhouse with showers, a general store, firewood, propane fills, and a clubhouse cover the practical side. Pets are welcome. The lake carries the property: a beach, a fishing pier, boat rentals, and walking trails, with swimming, fishing, boating, kayaking, paddle boats, hiking, biking, and planned activities. Softball World, Eagle Island Golf Club, and Lake Michigan itself are all close. Muskegon sits on Michigan's Lake Michigan shoreline, and Wolf Lake gives guests a calm inland alternative a short drive from the big water — one of the more diverse outdoor recreation corners of the Great Lakes. Rates for sites and tent spots are on the booking page. Michigan's summer is short and this shoreline books early — reserve ahead, and call to confirm your rig's fit.

Sunrise Lake Family Campground

9 RV Sites, 1 Tent Site

Sunrise Lake Family Campground in Le Roy, MI, offers 9 RV sites and 1 tent site, with 30-amp service and back-in sites for rigs up to 50 feet. Sites come in two categories, 30-amp standard and 30-amp premium lake, each carrying water and electric with a fire pit and picnic table. There's no sewer at the site, so plan on the on-site dump station. Note the electrical: this is a 30-amp campground throughout, so a rig wired for heavier service will need an adapter and some load management. The grounds are gated, with laundry, a bathhouse with showers, a snack bar, a pavilion, and cabins. Monthly guests are required to file an emergency contact form, which the campground keeps private and uses only if a situation arises. Pets are welcome. A boat ramp, beach, pond, and lake access drive the recreation — fishing, swimming, boating, paddle boats, and picnicking. The property also hosts weddings. Le Roy sits in Osceola County in the northern Lower Peninsula, on all-sports Sunrise Lake, with 12,000 acres of state land across the road and the Evart Motorcycle Loop's forest roads nearby. Rates for sites and cabins are on the booking page. Premium lake sites book first.

Winona Lake Campground

27 RV Sites, 7 Tent Sites

Winona Lake Campground in Lima, Ohio, offers 27 full-hookup back-in RV sites and seven tent sites on a private lake, with 30 and 50-amp service and rigs accepted to 45 feet. Standard and back-in categories join mini-golf, sports courts, and inflatable water toys in Allen County's agricultural west-central Ohio. Twenty-seven back-in sites run in back-in and standard back-in categories, both carrying water, sewer, and electric on 30 and 50-amp, sized to 45 feet. Two straightforward categories keep booking simple. Seven tent sites round out the lodging. A private lake anchors the property for swimming and fishing, with a pond, mini-golf, sports courts, tennis, basketball, and inflatable water toys filling the rest. The amenity set is focused rather than sprawling, which keeps rates accessible for a family campground built around the water. Pets are welcome. A private lake at a park this size is the real asset — 27 RV sites sharing a lake means it never feels crowded, and the swimming and fishing stay genuinely usable through a summer weekend in a way that larger properties struggle to match. Lima sits in the flat, productive farm country of west-central Ohio, roughly midway between Dayton and Toledo on I-75. The Allen County Museum, the Lima Symphony, and the Ottawa River corridor are close, with Grand Lake St. Marys and Indian Lake within a short drive for larger-water recreation. Summer is decisively the season in Ohio, when the lake and the water toys are running. Reserve ahead for June through August weekends, with quiet availability through the spring and fall shoulders.

Sweet Minihaha Campground

26 RV Sites, 50 Tent Sites

Sweet Minihaha Campground in Brodhead, Wisconsin, is a riverside family campground with RV and tent sites on the Sugar River, and kayak rentals available on site. Sites accommodate rigs up to 27 feet, which makes this a better fit for smaller trailers and vans than for big coaches. The campground sits in Green County on US-14, about an hour south of Madison. RV sites take rigs to 27 feet, and tent sites serve campers who want the riverbank without hauling a trailer. Facilities are deliberately simple: bathrooms on site, firewood available, and recycling provided. Guests who need full hookups or extensive infrastructure should note that this is a riverside campground rather than a resort, and it is priced and equipped accordingly. The Sugar River is the reason to come. Kayak rentals are available on site, and the river's flatwater character makes it forgiving for paddlers of any experience level — a genuine advantage over the faster Wisconsin rivers to the north. Fishing and canoeing round out the water recreation. The Sugar River State Trail, a 23-mile rail-trail crossing five historic river bridges between New Glarus and Brodhead, runs close by for cyclists and, in winter, cross-country skiers. Pets are welcome. New Glarus is nine miles north on WI-69 — the most authentically Swiss village in the Midwest, founded in 1845, home to the New Glarus Brewing Company and the Wilhelm Tell outdoor drama each September. Monroe, 14 miles southwest, is the Swiss cheese capital of the United States and hosts Cheese Days in even-numbered years. Sweet Minihaha runs from Memorial Day weekend through Labor Day. Summer river recreation and rail-trail cycling drive peak demand, and the fall cheese-country touring season follows through October and November. Reserve ahead for summer weekends and for the Wilhelm Tell and Cheese Days event dates.

Rossburg Acres Campground

24 RV Sites, 12 Tent Sites

Rossburg Acres Campground in Rossburg, OH, offers 24 RV sites and 12 tent sites, with 20, 30, and 50-amp service and room for rigs up to 70 feet. Sites come in two categories, back-in 30-amp and back-in 50-amp, each carrying water and electric with a fire pit and picnic table. There's no sewer at the site, so plan on the on-site dump station. At 70 feet the sites take a long rig. A bathhouse with showers and a playground are on the property, and pets are welcome. The recreation punches well above 24 sites: mini-golf, a beach, a pond, sport courts, pickleball, volleyball, basketball, gaga ball, swimming, fishing, biking, and planned activities through the season. Rossburg sits in the quiet farmland of Darke County in western Ohio, roughly equidistant between Dayton and Fort Recovery. The campground has been family-owned since 2003 and runs on the tagline "Where Friends and Memories Are Made." Rates for sites and tent spots are on the booking page. Summer weekends and event weeks book first.

Mountain Valley Lodge and Campground

60 RV Sites, 16 Tent Sites

Mountain Valley Lodge and Campground in Thompsonville, MI, offers 60 full-hookup RV sites and 16 tent sites, with 30 and 50-amp service and room for rigs up to 60 feet. Sites come as back-ins and pull-throughs, each carrying water, sewer, and electric with a fire pit and picnic table. A bathhouse with showers, a general store, firewood, a recreation center, and cabins for guests without a rig cover the essentials. Pets are welcome. An outdoor pool, sport courts, basketball, ping pong, billiards, a playground, and dark northern-Michigan sky for stargazing fill the grounds, with swimming and picnicking on site. Skiing, snowboarding, off-roading, golf, a lake, a beach, and a river are all nearby. Thompsonville sits three miles from Crystal Mountain Resort in Benzie County, in the northwestern Lower Peninsula where the Betsie and Crystal Rivers and a chain of spring-fed lakes define the region. Sleeping Bear Dunes and the Huron-Manistee National Forests are close. Rates for sites and tent spots are on the booking page. Ski season and summer both run busy here — reserve ahead either way.

Fox Run Family Campground & RV Park

Fox Run Family Campground & RV Park in Fife Lake, Michigan, offers full-hookup RV sites on a forested property off US-131 in Grand Traverse County, with a lake, walking trails, and a big-rig-friendly layout. The campground sits at the Old Walton Junction trailhead, giving direct access to hiking and ORV trail connections. Full-hookup RV sites carry water, sewer, and electric on a layout sized for big coaches. A general store covers camp basics and firewood, laundry and a dump station handle longer stays, and restrooms, showers, and WiFi serve the sites. A lending library rounds out the practical amenities — a small touch, but one that says something about how the family runs the place. Pets are welcome. The trailhead position is the distinguishing feature. Old Walton Junction connects directly to hiking and ORV trails that extend into the surrounding national forest, which means riders and hikers leave from the campground rather than trailering out. A lake sits on the property for fishing, with walking trails, biking, horseshoes, corn hole, and picnicking across the grounds and a playground and dog park for families and pets. Fife Lake sits in the white pine and mixed hardwood landscape of northwest Lower Michigan, on the US-131 corridor connecting the Grand Rapids metro to Traverse City. That gives the family-owned campground two distinct markets — through-traffic on the highway and regional recreation demand generated by the Manistee National Forest, Fife Lake itself, and the northern Lower Michigan trail network. The campground serves the Michigan season. Summer lake and trail traffic drives the peak, with fall color and ORV riding weather extending demand into October. Reserve ahead for summer weekends and fall color.

Hattie Sherwood Campground

19 RV Sites, 12 Tent Sites

Hattie Sherwood Campground in Green Lake, WI, offers 20 RV sites and 12 tent sites, with 20, 30, and 50-amp service and back-in sites for rigs up to 40 feet. Sites are tiered by service, and the labels tell you exactly what you get: 20-amp sites, 30-amp deluxe, 30-amp deluxe with water, 50-amp premiere, and 50-amp premiere with water. These are partial hookups — electric at every site, water at some, no sewer — so plan on the on-site dump station and check whether your site includes water when you book. Each site has a fire pit and picnic table. A bathhouse with showers, firewood, and recycling are available, and pets are welcome. A boat ramp and boat rentals put guests on the water for fishing, boating, paddling, and paddle boarding, with a beach for swimming, a pond, walking trails, a playground, and biking and birding through the mature hardwoods. Green Lake sits on the shore of Big Green Lake, the deepest inland lake in Wisconsin, in the central part of the state. Rates for sites and tent spots are on the booking page. Premiere sites with water are the ones to request, and they go first.

Bonanza Camping Resort

86 RV Sites, 16 Tent Sites, 4 Onsite RV/Trailers

Bonanza Camping Resort in Wisconsin Dells offers 90 RV sites and 16 tent sites among tall pines on the Dells Parkway, with 30 and 50-amp service and rigs accepted to 75 feet. Full-hookup and water-and-electric back-in and pull-through categories join rental travel trailers, with an outdoor pool, craft room, and general store. Ninety sites span back-in 30-amp water-and-electric, back-in 30/50-amp water-and-electric, pull-thru 30-amp, pull-thru 30-amp water-and-electric, and pull-thru 30/50-amp categories, carrying water, sewer, and electric where noted with site WiFi, sized to 75 feet, with fire pits and picnic tables. Check your tier before booking, as the water-and-electric categories do not carry sewer at the site. Seventy-five feet is generous for a Dells property. Sixteen tent sites, cabins, and rental travel trailers round out the lodging. A general store, laundry, restrooms, and showers handle the practical side. An outdoor pool anchors the summer, with a craft room, playground, and corn hole filling the grounds. The tall Wisconsin pines give the property genuine forest character, which is not something most Dells campgrounds can claim. Pets are welcome. The position is among the most strategically valuable in the Midwest. The resort sits directly across from Mt. Olympus Water and Theme Park and one mile from Noah's Ark, the largest waterpark in the United States, with Bigfoot Zipline Tours and the Original Wisconsin Ducks within walking distance. Summer is decisively the season in the Dells. Reserve well ahead for June through August weekends.
