Lansing Cottonwood Campground

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. The check-in center lobby has a pool table, and there is a recreation room with air hockey and other arcade-style games. 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. Motorhome camping at Lansing Cottonwood Campground is available from approximately early May to late October.

Lansing Cottonwood Campground is located on the outskirts of Lansing, where you'll find numerous attractions to begin your visit. You can start with a self-guided tour of Michigan State University's Lansing campus and enjoy the spectacular grounds and landscaping, or head to Potter Park Zoo to appreciate the wide variety of animals on display. As the day winds down, you can take an old-fashioned riverboat cruise or enjoy scenic views and fine dining on a murder mystery tour, hosted in a moving railroad dining car.
