I suggest that you go to the Huron National Forest website. The location offers both campsite in some ares and dispersed camping in others. Dispersed can, but does not always include RVs in all areas.
You will only find showers in the organised campgrounds and not even all of them. Many of primitive campgrounds have only a hand pump for water and pit toilets.
There are no special applications, but you may have to purchase a weekly or annual use pass. I have had a geezer card (senior citizen pass) for so long I really don't remember. If you can't download the rule sheet, you can pick it up there.
As to entering the US, avoid Detroit. We frequently take or motorhome to Canada as my wife has relatives there. It is very difficult to find out what you can bring into the country as nobody seems to have the information until you get to the border. We go with the rule, if it is not canned don't.

I just want to make sure the OP has correct information.
The lifetime geezer pass ($10) is only for U.S. citizens and permanent US residents.
The annual America the Beautiful pass ($80 per year) is available regardless of citizenry, but it does not entitle you to a 50% camping discount like the geezer pass does. However, it does allow you to park a vehicle and use facilities like boat ramps, picnic areas, etc. without having to buy a weekly or daily pass. The use fees are somewhat convoluted, but explained on the Forest's webpage: Link here
I checked and the Huron NF has NO hot showers, no hookups and no dump stations at any of the forest service campgrounds. Link here
