There is something special about spending the night under the stars, surrounded by some of Mother Nature’s greatest creations. While not all campgrounds are the same, thanks to Campspot, it is easy to find a campsite with everything you need for a night outdoors. Recently, Campspot released its winners for the 2023 Campspot Awards, which uses data and industry expertise to select the best campgrounds in America. And, it is official, the best campground in America is Indian River RV Resort located right here in Michigan.
Located in Indian River, this beautiful northern Michigan campground is the number one campground in America. And it's no mystery why!
The minute you arrive, you’ll notice that it is not like many other campgrounds around the country. Perfect for families, a couple’s escape, or even some solo time in nature, Indian River RV Resort is the getaway into the great outdoors that you are searching for and deserve.
Small RV sites are also available and are designed for vehicles up to 30 feet long. These campsites also offer water hook-ups, electricity, Wi-Fi, and are pet-friendly. These smaller sites are also ideal for tent campers if you are in the mood to "rough" it.
Of course, the RV and tent sites are not the only way to stay in the Indian River RV Resort. This incredible campground is also home to nine rustic cabins.
The rustic cabins feature a master bed, two twin beds, a futon sofa, a refrigerator, a microwave, and temperature control. There are no private bathrooms but each cabin is in close proximity to the bathhouses.
While the campsites offer plenty of amenities, you may find that you don’t want to spend all of your time there.
Individuals old and young will also love a ride on the “Happy Camper Express,” which is the perfect way to explore and acquaint yourself with this Michigan campground.
You can also take a swim in the heated inground swimming pool or discover some of Northern Michigan's hidden gems as this campground is just a short drive from lakes, hikes, historical sites, and more.
No matter how much time you spend at Indian River RV Resort, you’ll quickly realize why this is considered one of the best campgrounds in America. With a variety of campsites, beautiful surroundings, rustic cabins, lots of amenities, and so much more, this is one outdoor adventure you’ll want to return to over and over again.
