The Great Lakes State provides exceptional camping diversity from sand dunes to forests to island escapes. Growing EV infrastructure supports electric vehicle exploration of Michigan's watery wonders.
RV Camping in Michigan
Michigan boasts over 100 state parks and recreation areas plus numerous national forest campgrounds. Popular destinations include Sleeping Bear Dunes National Lakeshore, Pictured Rocks National Lakeshore, Porcupine Mountains, and Mackinac Island area. The state offers more freshwater coastline than any other state. Many parks provide modern facilities with electrical hookups. Upper Peninsula offers remote wilderness camping, while Lower Peninsula has more developed options.
EV Charging Infrastructure in Michigan
Michigan has been expanding EV infrastructure, with good coverage in Lower Peninsula along I-75, I-94, and I-96. Detroit, Grand Rapids, and Ann Arbor offer extensive charging networks. Traverse City and other tourist towns have growing options. However, Upper Peninsula has very limited charging, requiring careful planning for long distances between chargers. Tesla Superchargers cover major Lower Peninsula routes but are sparse in UP.
Planning Your EV RV Trip
Michigan camping is highly seasonal, with peak summer (July-August) booking months ahead. Fall offers spectacular color (September-October) but cooler weather. Upper Peninsula stays cooler in summer, ideal for escaping heat. Plan charging carefully for UP adventures - distances are vast with limited services. Never pass charging opportunities in remote areas. Popular parks like Sleeping Bear require reservations far in advance. Consider shoulder seasons (June, September) for better availability. Bring layers - lake breezes keep temperatures cool.
