Lake Huron is a very large and modern campground. They have 395 sites, but there are a lot of open spaces during the week. I’ve heard on holiday weekends it fills up, but otherwise it’s not very crowded.

The campground has a general store, arcade, heated pool and a nice size lake with a beach area. There are also cabins to rent on the other side of the lake. They have weekend planned activities, mostly for the kids, but they had a Murder Mystery Weekend while we were there, which was fun for the adults too. They also have basketball, volleyball, horseshoes and a playground for the kids. Mini-golf is on site and open to the public, as is the Pizza Cafe and the ice cream shop.

This site is gated (need a code to get in), which we liked. It is one of the cleanest campgrounds we have been in, and the restrooms were a surprise; slate floors, redwood benches in the heated showers. Very nice details. Same with laundry areas.

It’s a little out of the way, a good half hour north of Port Huron and an hour and a half from Detroit, but it was an enjoyable discovery. Glad we stopped here and plan to go back later in the fall.

Thunder Bay Resort is a great stop for RV golf nuts! All rigs must be self contained but all sites have full hookups and WIFI. All sites are pull thru and you are a short walk to the club house and restaurant.

Thunder Bay Golf Club and Resort makes a great home base to play other courses in the region. The resort also has horse drawn carriage rides to view elk and enjoy a home cooked meal featuring Michigan wines. We had a great time playing golf and relaxing in this country setting.

I’ll be back and I recommend it to all RVers.

Last summer we just happened to drive by Whispering Oaks Campground and decided to stay. The campground is smaller but very well kept and clean.

The interior roads are nice gravel. The property has lots of flowers all over and the grass is kept nice and clean. They have a store, laundry, playground area etc. (they don’t have a pool) and it was all very well maintained. But the biggest surprise were the restrooms… they were super clean! Really, and all the time, we stayed for a week and everyday they were cleaned and nice.

The campsites are good sized and level and have water and electric. The nearby town of Baldwin doesn’t have much to do but there is great fishing in the area. The campground staff was friendly and helpful. Hope this helps.. www.michigancampground.com

Hidden Ridge is a relatively new resort campground in Hopkins, Michigan, right off US Route 131 (exit 59). The park features full hook ups, paved interior roads, fishing in several ponds, a beautiful pool and jacuzzi, playground, and enormous log clubhouse. In the pool area are very, very clean private showers, restrooms and a laundry. The sites are all paved with fire rings and picnic tables. The entire campground is manicured and very well maintained. Each of the ponds has a fountain.

The management is extremely friendly and accomodating. In the summer they have planned activities every weekend for every age group (i.e. live Bluegrass music, ice cream sundaes by the pool, etc.). The down side? There are very few shaded sites available. There is also just one set of dumpsters near the office at the entrance and no other trash containers besides the small ones at the pool area. No pop ups, tents, and nothing over 10 years old without management approval (however, we saw a couple of older, well maintained motorhomes).

We have stayed there twice and have enjoyed it. Our children love the pool and riding their bikes. The ponds are stocked so every child is a successful fisherman (catch and throw back)! We plan on going back frequently! Here’s their website address: www.hiddenridgerv.com

The Oaks Resort is located in the Beautiful Waterloo Recreation Area between Jackson and Grass Lake minutes off the I-94.  The campground was wonderful. The staff were very friendly and were willing to help with any problems.

They have a swimming and a fishing pond, ice cream, a basketball court (half court), a miniture golf course, a softball/baseball area, and much more.

We were very pleased with our stay!

We came to Apple Creek Campground earlier this summer for the first time. We heard they we under new ownership in the last 10 years. We were impressed. It was like going up north without spending all the gas money.

Their event weekends are a blast. We came back multiple times. We went to their Halloween weekend and it was unbelievable. I tell all of our camping friends about Apple Creek. It is a fun, yet quiet, family atmosphere.

Tawas River RV Park is a great little campground (about 100 spaces) right near Lake Huron. The sites are clean and level. Everyone is extremely friendly. And if you like fishing or boating, you’ve got access to the Tawas River right in the park.

We had a really nice, very quiet and relaxing stay. Got to do some fishing. Paddled around exploring in our canoe. Visited the Tawas Point Lighthouse. And we even spent some time relaxing on the beach.

This is a really nice park in a great spot.

Although Silver Lake Resort and Campground is clean and newly renovated. There are several things that are not so camper friendly.

They have a pool that states it is heated however it is very cold. The playground and any activities are near The front entrance and there are no activities for children or a place for older children to do things either.

They have security which is a plus every Thursday through Saturday from 8pm till 3am. However, they circulate the campground and if you are loud around that campfire you are asked to be more quiet. I get the impression they feel you should be in bed with lights out at 11:00 pm. 

They charge what I consider to be astronomical fees for guests. Your camping money gets you to camp with 2 adults and 3 children (under 18). If you bring children older than 18 with you, an additional $10 per person is charged. If you are a seasonal site holder you have to pay extra for your children or friends also. I think this is riduculous.

On the plus side, the facility is beautiful and the local attractions wonderful.

Treatment and cost to stay there… Not so good. I will not go here again.

Campers Cove is a great campground located on beautiful Thunder Bay River and Lake Wynah. The park has waterfront sites, shaded sites, canoe and kayak trips, miniature golf, horseshoes, shuffleboard, basketball, volleyball, excellent fishing. The facilities were clean and well maintained.

All sorts of watercraft are available for rental here… canoes, kayaks, pontoon boats, fishing boats and paddleboats. You can spend the day with the whole family enjoying a canoe or kayak trip, ranging from 2 1/2 to overnite trips. Or you can fish right from the shore or from a boat. Walleye, large and small mouth bass, pike, perch, croupie and trout.

Campers Cove is a great place to spend a few days fishing and just taking it easy. We are planning on returning this summer!
