Discover Top RV Parks & Campgrounds in Michigan


Comprising two peninsulas in the Great Lakes region, Michigan takes its name from the Ojibwe word "mishigamaa," which translates to "large water." It's home to the main hub of the U.S. automotive industry, Detroit, and the capital city, Lansing, as well as vast tracts of protected forests and almost 65,000 inland lakes and ponds.
Modern-day Michigan was originally occupied by a succession of Native American tribes before French explorers arrived in the 17th century and claimed it as part of New France. It came under British rule after the French and Indian War and was ceded to the newly independent United States following the American Revolutionary War.
Influenced by a continental climate, Michigan's landscapes range from the rolling hills of the Lower Peninsula to the more rugged terrain of the Upper Peninsula, where the state's highest point, Mount Arvon, is found. With one of the largest state park and state forest systems of any U.S. territory, it's no surprise that you'll have lots of options when looking for RV campgrounds in Michigan.
