OKEMOS, Mich.-Each season in Michigan brings RVers ample opportunities to enjoy fun, new and exciting adventures any time of the year.
Crisp, cool mornings, birds chirping, blossoming tulips and the many festivals Michigan has to offer-all are signs of spring. After months of Michigan winter, RVers are able to trek to their favorite destination to celebrate the long awaited arrival of warmer temperatures. The first hint of sunlight has once again sparked RVers to gear up for another season of adventure.
Summer is a great opportunity to enjoy leisurely days at the beach, playing in the sparkling waters of one of the Great Lakes, and just enjoying time spent with the family. Set off in your RV and visit a lighthouse, eat your lunch alongside a waterfall, or visit tourist towns offering quaint shops, friendly people and cozy restaurants. There are over 1,000 campgrounds in Michigan, located along the Great Lakes and near popular summer destinations. Visit www.marvac.org to find a campground near you.
Autumn will bring you to one of the many apple orchards or the 45-plus wineries with 13,500 acres of vineyards across the state. Enjoy the brisk, fresh air while sipping a cup of warm apple cider or biting into a luscious Michigan apple. While strolling through the vineyards, take a moment to behold nature's beauty as you watch the leaves turn from green to shades of red, orange and yellow. Some of the best fall colors can be viewed from your RV as you travel where you please.
As fall gives way to winter, there is no question why Michigan is sometimes referred to as a "Winter Wonderland." Create memories with your children, making snow angels in the fresh snowfall. The legendary lake-effect snow supports the many downhill ski resorts, miles of snowmobile trails, and Nordic ski trails-all across the state. Equipped with thermostatically controlled furnaces and water heaters, your RV becomes the perfect mobile ski lodge.
