Discover Austin Lake RV rentals for memorable road trips

Austin Lake is located in south-western Michigan between the cities of Kalamazoo and Battle Creek. This naturally forming glacial lake straddles the city of Portage and offers the city and the surrounding area an oasis of recreational opportunities. Named after the Austin family that settled on the lakes shore in the 19th century, Austin Lake has long been of interest to the local community. Although naturally formed, Austin Lake has been changed by the building of dams in 1918 and 1958. The combination of excellent recreation and location makes Austin Lake the perfect place to take an RV rental. Access to the lake with a rental RV is made even easier with both Interstate 94 and Highway 131 passing its shores.

Raul was great to work with, and very easy to reach! The camper was perfect for our families needs! He had the camper with the basics (pots/pans, plates, some utensils and napkins! Fresh sheets/bedding, and toilet paper! The tv with the Roku was a great bonus; it rained part of our trip and this allowed our son to relax in the camper and watch Thomas the Train!
10/10 would highly recommend this host!
