Campground Recs near Cleveland and Detroit

x2 on Harbortown (for the Detroit area). Very clean, big-rig friendly.

You might also check out Harbortown RV park. I believe it is a Monore Mi address. Cleveland area check Cuyahoga State Park.

West of Cleveland, on the Marblehead Peninsula, there is East Harbor State Park and east of Toledo, closer to Detroit, there is Maumee Bay State Park. Both are right on Lake Erie and beautiful.

By Cleveland Punderson SP is nice

Not sure about Detroit... For Cleveland, either Geneva on the Lake SP, or West Branch SP are good.

In Ipsilanti, MI, is the Detroit-Greenfield RV park. I've stayed there multiple times. It's relatively close to downtown Detroit, and pretty close to Greenfield Village and the Henry Ford Museum. (plus it's about 10 miles from my daughter).

I've read some very unflattering reviews of Detroit-Greenfield RV Park. I don't understand why.

Is it a 4 star RV Resort where only top of the line Class A Motor Coaches are welcome? Of course not. And some of the sites, especially those in the trees are not gravel.

But it's a reasonably priced RV park to be used as a base to explore areas in and around Detroit.

One reviewer claimed to be frightened to death of all the seasonals there. Well, I didn't see an unusually high ratio of seasonals to regular travelers.

And on top of that, at NO time have I ever felt UNSAFE staying there, or leaving my trailer there for hours at the time.

That particular reviewer must have grown up in Mr. Rogers Neighborhood.

NE of Detroit, Algonac SP is pretty nice and you might get to see some big ships sail past on the river. Some photos here, you can get an idea of the campsite size: http://warnerrvnews.blogspot.com/2010/04/michigans-algonac-state-park.html
