Boyne Highlands Resort
Where to Park the RV: Petoskey RV Resort
Michigan has the second most skiable areas in the country, second only to New York state. Boyne Highlands Resort is regarded as one of the top year-round resorts with more than 50 meticulously groomed slopes ranging in skill level plus a variety of other activities to take advantage of.
Summertime at Boyne Highlands Resort offers horseback rides, mountain biking, ziplining, and golf. With their cutting-edge TrackMan Range, you can compete with friends, finetune your swing, and learn about the fascinating dynamics of the sport.
Cedarville Off of Lake Huron
Where to Park the RV: Loons Point RV Park and Campground
Along the coast of Lake Huron near Cedarville on Michigan’s upper peninsula, you’ll find a chain of 36 picturesque lake islands—the Les Cheneaux Islands—ready to be explored by boat. The area’s adjacent town of Cedarville is a great landing spot for boaters with plenty of things to do when you’re not out on the water.
Stroll along the colorful boathouses and grab a cocktail at Les Cheneaux Distillers right on the water. If you make it there in August, prepare yourself for an experience like no other with the annual antique wooden boat show. New to boating? Learn the ropes at the Great Lakes Boat Building School.
Pictured Rocks National Lakeshore
Where to Park the RV: Bay Furnace Campground
Perched on the shore of great Lake Superior, this designated national lakeshore is a scenic destination that can’t be missed. Drawing nearly a million visitors to the park each year, this park is known for its stretch of streaked sandstone cliffs after which the park was named.
Take a boat out on the water to see the Petit Portal arch, Miners Castle, and Grand Sable Banks and Dunes. If you’d rather keep your feet dry, traverse the sand dunes by foot or hike out to Sable Falls.
Turnip Rock near Port Austin
Where to Park the RV: Port Crescent State Park Campground
Turnip Rock is a natural phenomenon sticking out of Lake Huron just off the shore. It gets its name from its unusual shape: small on the bottom and stretching outward and upward, unusually topped with trees and foliage.
The best way to get a close look at this unique rock formation is via kayak. Snag a rental at Port Austin Kayak or book a guided tour along the coast to see an array of coastal highlights like Turnip Rock. Back on dry land, you can take advantage of many activities in Port Austin like taking a lighthouse tour or having a drink at the Port Austin Kayak Backyard Café & Beer Garden.
