Discover Bald Mountain Recreation Area RV rentals for memorable road trips
Around 15,000 years ago, the last Great Glacier scraped and gouged the soft Michigan soil, flattening the land in some areas while scooping out dirt or forming towering hills in others. Bald Mountain is one such formation. Huge boulders piled upon a large hill make up the mountain. Bald Mountain Recreation Area was officially established in the early 1930s, and the Civilian Conservation Corps, which operated under President Roosevelt’s New Deal program, blazed trails, created a beach, and laid down roads. The beach was voted the “Best of Detroit” in Detroit Monthly in 2017.

Getting Outdoors
Four thousand six hundred thirty-seven acres of Bald Mountain Recreation Area is divided nearly perfectly in half by a highway that runs north/south. Bald Mountain Recreation Area is considered one of the hilliest challenging parks to hike in Michigan. The western half is wilder with very few trails, while its eastern counterpart has around 15 miles of marked trails. All trails are multi-use, shared with mountain bikers and hikers. Some of the trails are considered extremely challenging, and past hikers have been known to use them to train for hiking up Rocky Mountains’ 14ers, Mount Everest, and other equally challenging summits around the world.
Camping at Bald Mountain Recreation Area
In part due to its proximity to several suburban towns with camping restrictions, there is no RV camping at Bald Mountain Recreation Area. However, there are several options the further you get away from Detroit.
Exploring the Area
Hit the road in a rental motorhome and visit the local sights and attractions. The Legoland Discovery Center in Auburn Hills is fun for adults and children alike.

My wife and I rented the QuadPodz for a week-long leaf-peeping trip in Michigan’s Upper Peninsula, and it made our adventure unforgettable. The van’s battery, solar, and water systems easily support 2-3 days off-grid. Heating kept us cozy on chilly mornings, and there’s ample storage plus a comfy bed for two. Cooking was a highlight- spacious kitchen, powerful induction stove, full cookware set, and good fridge space. All systems were simple to use. Marc was an excellent host- helpful, responsive, and thorough. A thoughtfully equipped van, highly recommend for your next adventure!
