Green Valley Campground

The Great Outdoors

Just a quick trip down the road from Green Valley and over the border into Indiana sits Pokagon State Park in Angola. One of the oldest state parks in Indiana, Pokagon State Park also beautifully preserves the work that the Civilian Conservation Corps put into the land, such as log cabins and stone houses. You can view the various structures as you explore the park by traversing the hiking trails. The trails are well suited for hikers of different expertise. So whether you’re looking for an easy stroll through the forest or something a little more hilly, you can find the perfect trail for you.To experience Michigan's true rugged terrain when you book an RV in St. Joseph County, you can venture to nearby Coldwater Lake State Park. The fairly undeveloped land sits on the shores of Coldwater Lake. Whether you want to trek the trails, enjoy some shore fishing at the lake, or try your luck at wildlife viewing, there is plenty to enjoy at this little oasis.For a great day trip, you can head south of the RV campgrounds to Chain O’Lakes State Park in Albion. With nine connected lakes linked throughout the park, Chain O’Lakes is a great destination for water lovers. You can rent a canoe or kayak and travel through the riverways and lakes. If you can get access to a motorized boat, you can travel to the more secluded regions of the park and enjoy some relatively undisturbed fishing opportunities. If you’d rather stay on dry ground and admire the water from a distance, you can explore the 23 miles of hiking trails that wind through the forest. If you’re traveling during the winter, many of the trails are converted to cross-country skiing trails, so you can continue to explore this wonderland.
