Saint Joseph is absolutely teeming with outdoor adventure, one of the main reasons for its summertime tourism. Kiwanis Park has nature trails, basketball hoops, baseball diamonds, playgrounds, and a cool skate park. Tiscornia Park and Silver Beach County Park can be found on opposite sides of the Saint Joseph River that flows through town and empties into the lake. They are primarily known for their amazing beaches, but Silver Beach County Park goes above and beyond with its restaurants, restrooms, picnic pavilions, and beach volleyball courts. Grand Mere State Park is the first park you will find if you drive your Saint Joseph camper rental to the south along the coast. This fabulous park has iconic sand dunes that tower over the road and the beaches on the other side. Climbing these protected areas enables visitors to enjoy splendid views of the water, especially at sunset when the colors of the sky are incredible. Warren Dunes State Park is another 20 miles to the south and also positioned on the shores of Lake Michigan. The dunes at Warren Dunes State Park are also massive, overlooking the beaches that are great for camping, walking, fishing, and believe it or not, cross-country skiing in the winter. Indiana Dunes National Lakeshore can be found by taking your Saint Joseph RV rental just over the border into neighboring Indiana. This epic park is full of rare wildlife, protected wilderness areas, historical buildings, and great campgrounds to stay at when you rent an RV. Driving far to the north past the city of Muskegon, you can visit the Huron-Manistee National Forest that dominates much of the northern parts of the lower peninsula in Michigan. There is even more undeveloped lakefront on this one-million-acre reserve, with sand dunes that are over 4,000 years old. Isle Royale National Park is technically in Michigan but would require lots of driving in your Saint Joseph motorhome rental. It is only accessible by boat but very much worth the visit if you want to see one of the most remote places in the country.
