Discover Silver Lake RV rentals for memorable road trips
Silver Lake was formed around 10,000 years ago by a mile-high glacier. As the glacier retreated north, it gouged shallow holes in the soft earth that would eventually be filled by water and deposited massive boulders and sheets of moraine. Silver Lake is especially unique. Due to the geology of Lake Michigan’s lakebed shaping the currents of the water, the mighty lake deposited a massive amount of sand that eventually formed high dunes bordering one side of the lake.

Getting Outdoors
Shaped like half of a silver coin, much of Silver Lake’s coastline, save for the side adjacent to the sand dune, are developed. The banks are lined with grass and tall hardwoods. Though it’s a small lake, encompassing about 690 acres, it’s also a popular one thanks in part to its proximity to Silver Lake State Park’s off-highway vehicle (OHV) area. In the summertime, adventurers flock to the water to cool off as well as to enjoy various aquatic activities like jet skiing and water-skiing. However, when the temperature drops, so do the number of visitors on the lake. Fishing in the murky, tea-stained water is excellent, particularly walleye. Anglers can expect to catch rock bass, smallmouth bass, black crappie, and pumpkinseed.
Camping at Silver Lake
Skip the long drive from a hotel. Rent an RV and immediately launch into action, whether it’s to throttle an ATV up a mighty sand dune or launch a boat onto the picturesque Silver Lake to catch fish. Thanks to the OHV area, there are many RV campgrounds on Silver Lake for visitors to choose from. The RV campground at Silver Lake State Park has over 200 sites with electric hookups, restrooms, and easy access to the park itself. This campground is open year-round.
Exploring the Area
As exciting as Silver Lake can be to visit and explore, don’t overlook the small towns dotting the coastline of Lake Michigan. Many towns have boutique shops, quaint bistros, and craft breweries with fantastic beer just waiting to be discovered. Ludington, among its many charms, is well known for supporting the craft-beer scene, and many award-winning breweries can be found lining the downtown street. As the miles go by in the comforts of a rental motorhome, keep an eye out for one of the hundreds of orchards found along the Michigan Lake coast. Many orchards’ apples in this region are prized for their crisp, sweet flavor that packs a punch. Many roadside farm stands sell homemade jams, apple sauces, and pies alongside their fresh produce.
