Getting Outdoors
You can’t go on a Pontiac Lake Recreation Area camping trip without having a dip in the water or jumping on a boat to find your own piece of paradise in the water. There are three boat launch ramps on the lake, two of which have ADA-accessible docks and make it a breeze to access the water. Although there are few restrictions on the water, it’s generally understood that the open expanses of water are reserved for powerboating (jet skiing, wakeboarding, and sailing), and the shallower water and hidden tributaries reserved for smaller boats like your kayaks and canoes. If you’re RV camping at Pontiac Lake Recreational Area without your own vessel, it’s easy enough to pick up your own rental from one of the two marinas sitting on the shoreline.

Wonderful experience. 6 adults on a 4 day trip near Traverse city. Keith and Diane were very nice and helpful. Everything was clean and functional- the RV is beautiful. Drives great and has some upgrades. My first time driving a 38' RV- it wasn't difficult..
For tall guys: At 6'8", I was able to stand up throughout the coach. With 3 slides it becomes very open and comfortable.
Highly recommend, 'would rent again!

We had a great first experience with Outdoorsy and our host, Adam. His communication was exceptional and he was very helpful in explaining everything that we needed to know in order to have the best experience possible. He was punctual and thorough. The camper was in pristine condition and functioned exactly as described. You will not go wrong is selecting this host. We will be renting again!
