The Great Outdoors

RV camping at Sturgeon Valley Campground is an excellent opportunity to explore the many outdoor activities in this part of Michigan. You can go river and pond fishing at the campground, though there are several larger bodies of water nearby for even more fishing and water sports. North of the campsites at Sturgeon Valley Campground, you'll find Burt Lake, Mullet Lake, and Black Lake. West of the lakes, you'll find Little Traverse Bay, which is an offshoot of Lake Michigan. All of these are excellent places to go boating, paddling, or water skiing. Burt Lake is the closest lake to the campground, and it has a whopping 17,000 acres of water and 35 miles of shoreline. In the lake, you'll find several species of fish, including walleye, northern pike, muskie, and smallmouth bass, just to name a few. You can rent boats at the lake if you don't have your own.The Little Traverse Bay area gives you access to Lake Michigan, so it is an excellent place to go if you want a little more room while you're out on the water. It's a good place to try sports like water skiing or parasailing, or you can enjoy sailing or kayaking if you want a more relaxed experience. There are several miles of parkland along the shore of the bay, which makes it a great place to relax and watch the sunset. You can also swim in the lake on warm days. The bay is a very popular place for salmon fishing too.The Gaylord State Forest Area is directly to the west when you are camping in an RV at Sturgeon Valley Campground.

The Petoskey Historic Gaslight District is home to several boutiques, art galleries, and restaurants. You'll also find venues for live theater and music, as well as bars and casinos for those who enjoy the nightlife.One of the easiest day trip destinations when motorhome camping at Sturgeon Valley Campground is Traverse City, a charming town on the southern shores of Grand Traverse Bay.

Questions about RVs?

Q.

What type of RV should I choose?

A.

Start by determining how many people are planning to travel with you. Going on a solo-journey? Choose a camper van or a teardrop trailer. Bringing the whole family along for the ride? Consider a spacious Class A or five-wheel.

You’ll also want to consider amenities. For example, if you’re planning to cook on the road, you’ll want a kitchenette. If your campground doesn’t have public restrooms, you’ll want to search RVs with bathrooms. Check out full descriptions of our models to help you decide here.


Q.

Do the RVs have bathrooms?

A.

Yes. Class A’s, Class B’s, and Class C’s and five-Wheels typically have bathrooms. Depending on where you plan on camping, you’ll want to double-check the availability of restrooms if selecting a rig without a bathroom. Nervous about renting an RV with a bathroom? Owners can help show you how to clean the tank or will offer to do it for you for a fee.


Q.

How does check-in work?

A.

Once an Owner approves your RV reservation, you can coordinate a time to pick up your rig or have it delivered to your doorstep or campsite. At that point, the owner will do a key exchange with you and walk you through the RV and answer any questions you might have.
