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. Enjoy the intricate, nearly life-sized sculptures constructed out of Lego blocks, learn about how Lego is constructed in its factory tour, or test your construction skills and build race cars.

Mike was VERY accommodating and easy to communicate with. We had a great weekend and would recommend him to anyone. The camper was clean and well maintained, and Mike went above and beyond with the setup. If I ever need to rent again I will definitely come to them again.

Wonderful experience. 6 adults on a 4 day trip near Traverse city. Keith and Diane were very nice and helpful. Everything was clean and functional- the RV is beautiful. Drives great and has some upgrades. My first time driving a 38' RV- it wasn't difficult..
For tall guys: At 6'8", I was able to stand up throughout the coach. With 3 slides it becomes very open and comfortable.
Highly recommend, 'would rent again!

We had a great first experience with Outdoorsy and our host, Adam. His communication was exceptional and he was very helpful in explaining everything that we needed to know in order to have the best experience possible. He was punctual and thorough. The camper was in pristine condition and functioned exactly as described. You will not go wrong is selecting this host. We will be renting again!
