Lakeshore RV Park Campground

The Great Outdoors

As you may have imagined, Michigan gets more beautiful the farther north you drive in your RV rental. Choosing to book an RV rental near Lakeshore RV Park Campground is good for a variety of reasons. For starters, there are countless nature parks located nearby, good for day trips, fishing expeditions, and other outdoor adventures. Wilderness State Park is right across the lake on the Lower Peninsula, with over 10,000 acres of pristine land. Historic structures, dense forests, towering sand dunes, peaceful picnic areas, and miles of lakefront beaches make this a can’t-miss spot. Long-distance hiking trails also make for great biking and cross-country skiing, depending on the season. The park even has its very own campground, so you can reconnect with nature while gazing at the stars.Mackinac Island State Park is incredibly close, but you cannot bring your RV rental to this isolated island park in Lake Huron. The island was once a national park, created the year after Yellowstone National Park was formed back in 1875. The island was transferred over to state control, and is now a fascinating blend of history and natural beauty, making it a hotspot for summertime tourism. The island has dozens of historical sites, forts, museums, and, of course, forests. Unique rock formations, natural stone arches, and caves can be found with a little bit of trekking too when you take a boat out to this amazing island park.Hiawatha National Forest is just under three hours' drive northwest of Lakeshore RV Park Campground, which won’t be a problem when you have the freedom of an Upper Peninsula RV rental. Nearly 900,000 acres of evergreen paradise comprise this lush forest in the UP, home to an assortment of wilderness areas, recreation spots, and campgrounds for you to make use of. If you want to see one of the most remote areas of the country, take a boat over to Isle Royale National Park, a gem of a park that is hardly visited due to its far-away location up by the Canadian border. The half-million-acre island is home to an eclectic bunch of wildlife, like migratory birds, wolves, elk, and moose. Hiking trails, ancient archaeological sites, campgrounds, and other magic are waiting for you when you decide to visit this remote wonderland in the north.
