Ontonagon County Park Campground

Michigan’s Upper Peninsula is like nowhere else in the country, with its sparsely populated but charming towns, stunning landscapes, and, of course, more lakes than you can count. It’s a nature lover’s paradise best experienced in a campground rather than a hotel. One of the best places to do it with an Upper Peninsula rental RV? Ontonagon County Park and Campground at the far western end of the peninsula.

Camping at Ontonagon County Park and Campground is a pretty rustic affair. Sites have electrical hookups for your RV rental, bathrooms and showers are at a central location, and there's a dump station near the park’s edge, but there are few other amenities. For recreation, there’s a boat launch on Lake Gogebic, where there’s some great fishing. If you’re looking for a family-friendly Upper Peninsula campground, this one has a small playground where the little ones can run around and burn off excess energy at the end of the day.

Sites are large, so you won’t need to worry about privacy when you camp at Ontonagon County Park and Campground. But if you feel the need for more space, the wide-open countryside is just a short walk away at the lakeshore.
