Discover Hagerman Lake RV rentals for memorable road trips

Hagerman Lake formed around 10,000 years ago when a mile-high glacier scraped and gouged its way north at the end of the last ice age. This part of Michigan is rich in mining history, and Hagerman Lake is no exception. The lake is named for J. J. Hagerman, who was known as a “very colorful person,” which was a polite way of saying he had strong opinions and was an outspoken person. Hagerman got his start as a clerk at a mining company during the 1860s and quickly climbed the corporate ladder. He went on to become part-owner of major mining companies in Michigan, Colorado, and New Mexico.

Getting Outdoors

In part due to its proximity to the larger lake, Lake Ottawa, and in part due to its small size of around 585 acres, Hagerman Lake is not a highly trafficked lake. Fishermen and adventurers seeking solitude for quiet reflections and bliss will find it on Hagerman Lake. The lake is ringed by low hills shrouded by tall hardwoods and fir trees. Sheltered by these trees, the lake is typically calm on all but the stormiest of days. A simple boat launch invites aquatic recreational fun. The lake is relatively deep in spite of its glacial origins, and as a result, it has a mix of warm and cold water. Northern pike, walleye, bass, bluegill, and panfish are abundant, easily observed swimming in the clear water as far down as 10 feet.

Camping at Hagerman Lake

Though it’s tempting to just park an RV rental in a clearing, that habit can become too destructive if too many people do it. It’s far more ethical to use an already-established campground. RV camping at Hagerman Lake isn’t possible because there are no campgrounds. However, Lake Ottawa, which is just a few minutes away, has a roomy campground. Lake Ottawa Recreational Area RV campground is set in a wooded area. It has running water, flush toilets, and a dump station.

Exploring the Area

Hop into a rental motorhome and join all the other rubberneckers on the Ottawa National Forest’s scenic byways. Many roads take travelers past picturesque waterfalls, many of which are very close to the roads, and through quaint, charming towns and villages full of history and local charm. Not far from Paulding, MI is a particular spot that has been the subject of stories and folklore for many decades. As the lore goes, only at a certain spot outside the town, bystanders frequently can see a floating ball of light at nighttime in the trees. Some say it’s a ghost of a grandparent searching for a lost child by lantern. Others say it’s a ghost of a Native American dancing around a bonfire.

The camper itself is excellent! We arrived to our destination with it set up, awning out, a rug out front and lawn chairs set up. Communication was also excellent. Any questions I had were answered right away. I don't think it could have been any better! Thanks so much for making our weekend great!

Absolutely phenomenal people to rent from, they went way over my expectations with this whole situation. I was a little skeptical because I hadn’t ever done anything like this, but if you’re on the fence about renting from them, do it! You won’t regret it

The RV that we rented was great and Sandra was wonderful to work with! We will definitely rent from her again in the future.
