Perch Lake Campground

The Great Outdoors

Get ready for some of the best camping that Michigan's Upper Peninsula has to offer when you rent an RV near Sidnaw. The area is in the midst of vast forests teeming with life. Van Riper State Park is an hour's drive east of the campground. It was named for a local doctor who practiced medicine in the area for nearly 70 years. He successfully persuaded the local iron company to gift the land to the town, and today it is a fantastic park on the shores of Lake Michigamme. You can do some hiking, swimming, boating, or fishing at Van Riper State Park, or head up to Craig Lake State Park, which has two lakes of its own. Both state parks are pleasant places to camp, and both can be visited throughout the year, even in the wintertime. Snowshoeing, cross-country skiing, ice fishing, and other winter recreation await if you decide to take a trip to Michigan during the colder months.Baraga State Park is up by L’Anse. It's a gorgeous place to add to your travel itinerary, no matter the time of year. Swim in the divine waters of Lake Superior or go fishing, boating, kayaking, canoeing, or sailing. Hiking trails, picnic pavilions, and lovely camping areas are all great reasons to visit too.One of the country’s most undeniably beautiful and remote national parks is also found in Lake Superior, on a large island by the Canadian border. A boat ride from Houghton is the easiest way to get to Isle Royale National Park. This rugged wilderness park doesn't have improved camping facilities, so you'll have to leave the Sidnaw camper rental behind. Trekking, hiking, nature photography, bird watching, and stargazing make it worth the effort to see this stunning island park, so don’t miss out on Michigan’s most special outdoor attraction.
