Interlochen Campground

You won’t need to drive far to reach some pretty special places in northern Michigan when you feel like indulging in some outdoor recreation. You won't have to drive at all to explore Interlochen State Park. This park is a popular place to go hiking, biking, canoeing, kayaking, swimming, fishing, along with cross-country skiing, ice fishing, and snowshoeing in the winter. Traverse City State Park is north of the campground, next to Traverse City. It is a regional favorite, home to an extraordinary number of recreational activities. Beautiful beaches, picnic areas, pavilions, BBQ grilling areas, biking paths, long-distance hiking trails, and a 350-site campground establish Traverse City State Park as one of the best. Sleeping Bear Dunes National Lakeshore and Manistee National Forest are two incredible, federally maintained locations in the region that enchant with their captivating landscapes and views of Lake Michigan. Sleeping Bear Dunes National Lakeshore has 35 miles of lakeshore where you can walk or swim, and towering bluffs to shield the secluded beaches from the outside world. Watching the sun go down while perched atop these sandy behemoths is a treat for sure, and canoeing to nearby islands like South Manitou Island makes for quite the adventure. Manistee National Forest has half a million acres of pristine land that you can trek through in search of camping areas, unique ecosystems, amazing wildlife, and some of the state’s largest mountains. These mountains are popular places to ski and snowboard during the snowy Michigan winters. If you are really looking for an exciting and memorable trip, pack up the Interlochen motorhome rental and make the journey to Isle Royale National Park, way up north by the Canadian border. This island park in Lake Superior isn’t very well-traveled, thanks to its remote location. To reach this rugged park, you’ll need to leave your rig behind and take the ferry to explore its undeveloped and untouched forests.
