RV rental McLain State Park, MI: Motorhome rentals, camper van rentals and more

Those with an RV rental in McLain State Park can choose between 98 spots split between two sites. The majority of the sites can accommodate even the biggest of rigs. However, none have pull-through accessibility. Although generally slightly busier, request a location in the lakeside campground for easy access to the boat ramp and a number of water-based activities. Alternatively, for a slightly quieter and more tranquil experience, choose a site on one of the interior loops, organized under a canopy of trees. For camper's convenience, eight water faucets are scattered throughout, although you may require a reasonably long water hose to use them. Alternatively, make use of the modern washroom that comes complete with flushing toilets and hot showers. More primitive toilet facilities can also be found along the campground. Additionally, some of the sites come equipped with 30 amp hookups, but make sure to request this when checking in. Pets are welcome on McLain State Park RV campgrounds but must be kept on a leash at all times.
