Here in Michigan there have been many new private RV CG's built over the last few years and many others have added on too. Right here locally, the beautiful East Pointe RV Resort was built with 130 RV very fine spaces and opened just 1-1/2 years ago, Grand Haven Resort had been opened 7 miles south of town, Conestoga CG and Resort right on the north side of the Grand River added more RV spaces also, plus The Christian Conference Grounds 2-1/2 miles south of town added another 33 RV sites just to name a few now added just in our local area. None have closed either.
More land had been acquired by the DNR for additional State Parks to add to the over 100 state Parks there already is with CG's that will soon also have CG's built on them too. Bass River State Recreation Area (1665 acres) is one of them and is only ~9 miles east of our home. Has a 300 acre lake on it with boating access right to the 3 miles of Grand River frontage for more boating, watersports, and good fishing too. To the west it borders on another very large county park that is well developed and has a very nice multi-launch boat ramps. Already allows tent camping in the new state park and plans have been approved for a new 280 space RV CG also to be built.
Of course, our area is very popular for RV'ers and recreation and has so many visitors and is only roughly 125 miles from where most of the RV's are made in the USA in Northern Indiana and their headquarters. Thor, huge Jayco, and gobs of other in the group, Forest River and their group, Keystone and their group, and so many others and all are very very busy.
RVing and camping is alive and well and very loved in our state but not insanely road blocked regulated so its nearly impossible to build a new CG like in so many other states and just continues to grow and so does the number of CG spaces too. Some states cut off their noses to spite their faces and it's catching up with them now!
