If a cultivated RV campground in south Michigan is what you're after, take a closer look at Lansing Cottonwood Campground. This family-friendly RV park has a long list of recreational activities like a volleyball court and horseshoe pits, a field for soccer or football, fully stocked fishing ponds, and more. From the moment you arrive, you'll have access to restrooms with hot showers and laundry facilities so you can freshen up and prepare for what's ahead.

If you're running low on supplies, the camp store can provide whatever you need.
The individual sites have either full hookups, partial hookups (water and electricity), or no hookups (primitive / rustic sites). There are some premium sites that are situated next to the water, and all of the sites can be rented by the day, week, month, or seasonally. Wi-Fi is available so you can stay in touch with family and friends, and the on-site swimming pool is there waiting for you at the end of a long, hot day. The full hookup and premium sites are popular, so reservations are recommended if you require one of these.

The railroad offers a steam engine train ride with holiday decorations and activities during Christmas, Halloween, and other holidays. There is a farmers market where you can load up on fresh fruit and produce, a museum, arboretum and planetarium, and an urban park with a waterfall (human-made, but still relaxing and enjoyable).
