The small community of Chatham, Michigan, is a short drive west of Munising. In the late 1800s, a railroad intersection led to the platting of Chatham for trade and transportation. These days, railways have been replaced by a few country roads and two highways and visiting bigger cities like Marquette or Escanaba is easy when you rent an RV here.

Lake Superior and Lake Michigan are so close you can almost see them from Chatham if it weren't for the rolling terrain and gorgeous trees in every direction. The massive Hiawatha National Forest takes up the vast majority of the land to the east, while the west leads you to lakes and endless oak and pine trees. If you've been searching for a place to escape while on vacation in Michigan, book an RV in Chatham and start your adventure here.

Sixteen Mile Lake, the Klondike Lake, Grassy Lake, and thousands of acres of other bodies of water flow through this stunning forest. It's a perfect summertime destination for swimming, camping, and fishing, depending on the lake you choose. There are plenty of miles of trails to hike, mountain bike, or even ride off-road vehicles where they're permitted.

Another outdoor adventure with the motorhome rental from Chatham awaits your arrival on the northern edge of Marquette. Lake Superior is a magnificent sight, offering loads of cold-water fishing, swimming, and even surfing when weather permits. You'll also find a couple of places to sunbathe, picnic, and fly a kite thanks to the consistent breezes. Take a boat out onto the water, bring along some binoculars to go birdwatching, and try out the local restaurants in town when you're all finished up for the day.

Rent an RV in Chatham and head out on a road trip west to Craig Lake State Park. The namesake Craig Lake, Crooked Lake, and four other beautiful lakes fill the state park with endless opportunities for fishing, swimming, and water sports.
