Auburn Hills / Holly KOA

The Great Outdoors

You don’t have to wander far from that fun RV park in Holly to get to experience the stunning rolling woodlands and open fields of Michigan, because Holly Recreation Area is almost within walking distance. In the fantastic nature, you can hike, go mountain biking, or relax with some fishing in one of the three lakes. There are also two RV campgrounds in the area, and if you happen to be visiting during the winter, check out Mt Holly Ski & Snowboard Resort. If you’re more of a cross-country skier, you can do both that and snowmobiling in the recreation area. Hooray for so many choices!Since it would be a shame not to get a glimpse of a Great Lake when in the area, you kind of have to visit Lake Huron. Once you’ve packed everything you need and put it in your motorhome rental at Auburn Hills / Holly KOA, you’ll be at the lakeshore in a jiff. It’s just under 90 miles to Lakeport State Park, where there’s access to the beach and the lake, and has many a site for your campervan rental.If you were a bit disappointed that you couldn’t properly see any of the water creatures living in Lake Huron, you’re going to be thrilled to hear about Sea Life Michigan. At this lovely, fascinating establishment, you’ll not only learn all there is to know about everything from the freshwater lakes of Michigan to the depth of the ocean, but you’ll see it too. Study green moray eels, say hi to rays, and admire seahorses; you can also get a combination ticket that includes Legoland Discovery Center. It’s not as outdoorsy, but oh-so-fun!

Exploring the Area

Do you, by any chance, wish that you could book an RV in Oakland County not today, but yesteryear? What if you could have a combination of the two instead? That can happen if you pay Crossroads Village and Huckleberry Railroad a visit because in this charming place, just outside of Flint, time has been turned back and you can see and take a ride on the old trains. There’s also smithing of iron, churning of butter, and pressing of cider - if you get hungry, you can stop by the Fenton farmers market on your way back to the Auburn Hills / Holly KOA RV park for some tasty local treats.For any history buffs looking to go even farther back, try to do your RV camping in late August or September; that’s when the Michigan Renaissance Festival takes place, only minutes from your travel trailer rental at Auburn Hills / Holly KOA. They have themed weekends, delicious feasts, and so many things to see from many different historical periods. If you have a glorious beard or mustache, don’t miss out on the chance of winning a prize for it on the Viking weekend.And now time for museums - it’s a great place to stay even if you’re not into history, promise. There’s a lot of shopping to do, for example, but the museums are cool too. Consider checking out The Sloan Museum, packed with local history, or The Henry Ford Museum of American Innovation, or Flint Institute of Arts, one of the largest art museums in the state. If you’re going to visit all of these, you’re going to need to fuel up your RV rental, and there are plenty of gas stations in the area.Deciding to camp in an RV near Holly might turn out to be the best decision you’ve made all year - so what are you waiting for?
