Van Riper Campground

Michigan is an excellent place to take an RV camping trip no matter where you decide to go, but the Upper Peninsula is exceptionally beautiful, with a wild feel to it. Far from Lansing or Detroit to the south, you can rent an RV near Champion, Michigan, and experience a truly rustic vacation in the great outdoors. Once you've arrived, consider parking your rig in one of the campsites at Van Riper State Park. Evergreen trees and spectacular lakeshores help make this genuinely fantastic region a camper’s paradise that is not difficult to reach.

Van Riper Campground is surrounded by forest land on nearly every side, with the exception of Lake Michigamme in the northern part of the park. The small campground has lots of campsites available, some with electrical hookups for your RV rental. Bathrooms and shower facilities are situated centrally for easy access and will come in handy after a long day at the beach.

The lavish beaches at Van Riper Campground are part of what makes the state-run RV park so great. Swimming, fishing, beachcombing, sun tanning, kayaking, canoeing, and tons of other beach activities are possible here. Two camping areas, some special hiking trails, unbelievable swimming areas, and a slew of other features await you at this majestic nature park in Michigan's rugged Upper Peninsula.
