Let's start with a few questions to narrow down your options.


The tiny village of Bear Lake, Michigan is located a few hours' drive north of Grand Rapids and Lansing in the northern part of Michigan’s lower peninsula. Only a few hundred people call this hamlet home, nestled right up against the lake with which it shares a name.
When Bear Lake was first founded, it was nothing more than a few lumber mills that shipped virgin timber to the nearby city of Manistee. After President Lincoln passed the Homestead Act in 1862, homesteaders from the east coast flocked to places like Bear Lake to start their own 160-acre farms, making Michigan's population expand. After decades of “lumber boom,” all of the area’s trees had been removed by 1902, forcing the town to change the basis of its economy. Since then, Bear Lake and its surrounding towns have been agricultural areas, with growing summertime tourism industries.
When you book an RV in Bear Lake, you can enjoy views of Bear Lake, or the much, much larger Lake Michigan, the shores of which are only a few miles away. This charming wonderland is a peaceful and gorgeous place to rent an RV no matter the time of year, but the summertime is perhaps the best time to see it shine.
