Campgrounds near Greilickville, Michigan
Greilickville sits on the west arm of Grand Traverse Bay at the base of the Leelanau Peninsula, immediately north of Traverse City. The location puts RV travelers within a short drive of Lake Michigan beaches, cherry orchards, Leelanau wine country, and Sleeping Bear Dunes National Lakeshore.
Options range from lakeside private resorts to public state park camping. Leelanau Pines Campground offers lakefront access on Lake Leelanau with cabin and RV sites, and Lake Leelanau RV Park operates seasonally with big-rig friendly sites and 50-amp service. Holiday Park Campground and Northwestern Michigan Fair Assoc Campground add closer-in options near Traverse City itself.
Note that the Keith J. Charters Traverse City State Park campground, one of the region's most-used public campgrounds, is closed through the 2026 camping season while the DNR rebuilds the contact station, sanitation facilities, and day-use access, with a scheduled reopening of April 1, 2027. The Lake Michigan shoreline day-use area and beach remain open during construction, so trips built around private parks or nearby state forest campgrounds are the practical path for now.
Things to do near Greilickville
Sleeping Bear Dunes National Lakeshore is the region's headline attraction, with roughly 35 miles of Lake Michigan shoreline, marked hiking trails, and dunes rising several hundred feet above the lake. The Pierce Stocking Scenic Drive, Dune Climb, and Glen Haven historic village all work well as day trips from a Greilickville base.
Closer to camp, the paved TART Trail runs about 10.5 miles between Traverse City and Acme Township and links to the roughly 17-mile Leelanau Trail to Suttons Bay, giving families a car-free option for biking. Grand Traverse Bay is popular for paddling, and Mitchell Creek and the bay itself draw anglers.
Leelanau Peninsula wineries, cherry orchards, Leland's historic Fishtown, and the shops and restaurants of downtown Traverse City fill in rainy days and evenings.

When to visit Greilickville: seasonal patterns
- spring
March - May
54° / 32°F 60 mmCool and variable, parks open mid to late spring
- summer
June - August
79° / 57°F 80 mmPeak season, Cherry Festival week books out early
- fall
September - November
55° / 39°F 85 mmOctober brings peak foliage and the wettest month
- winter
December - February
30° / 16°F 50 mmCold and snowy, most private RV parks closed
Peak RV season runs from late June through late August, when highs sit in the upper 70s to low 80s Fahrenheit and Lake Michigan water is warm enough for swimming. The National Cherry Festival in early July drives the busiest week of the year in Traverse City, and lakeside private parks like Leelanau Pines Campground and Lake Leelanau RV Park often fill months out for that week and for holiday weekends.
Late spring and early fall are quieter and cooler. May can be wet, and many private campgrounds open in mid-to-late spring. September brings warm afternoons, cool nights, and the first color change, while October delivers peak fall foliage but shorter operating windows and the wettest month of the year on average.
Winters are cold and snowy, driven by lake-effect snow off the Great Lakes. Most private RV parks close for the season, and the Traverse City State Park campground is closed through the 2026 camping season for construction regardless of season.

How to book campgrounds near Greilickville
Public sites in Michigan are reserved through the state system at MiDNRReservations.com or by phone. Bookings open up to six months in advance of the arrival date, and a Recreation Passport is required for vehicle entry to any state park or state forest campground. Note that the Keith J. Charters Traverse City State Park campground itself is closed through the 2026 camping season and is scheduled to reopen April 1, 2027, so nearby state forest campgrounds and private parks are the current public-adjacent options.
Private campgrounds are booked directly. Leelanau Pines Campground, Lake Leelanau RV Park, Holiday Park Campground, and Northwestern Michigan Fair Assoc Campground each take reservations through their own websites or phone lines. For July and August stays, and especially for Cherry Festival week, book as early as the prior fall or winter.
What to expect on the ground
Sites near Greilickville range from full-hookup, big-rig friendly pads at private resorts to smaller wooded sites with 20/30-amp service. Lake Leelanau RV Park is set up for larger rigs with 50-amp service, and Leelanau Pines Campground offers direct lakefront access with swimming and fishing on site.
Cell coverage is generally reliable across the Traverse City area. Grocery, propane, dump stations, and RV supply stops are easy to find along US-31 and M-22. Roads on the Leelanau Peninsula are paved but narrow and winding in places, so plan longer transit times than mileage suggests when towing.
Biting insects peak in June and early July, especially near wooded and wetland sites. Lake Michigan currents can be strong, so check posted flag conditions before swimming with kids.

Frequently asked questions about campgrounds near Greilickville, MI
How much does it cost to rent an RV in Greilickville?
RV rental in Greilickville is affordable for such a scenic corner of northern Michigan. On RVezy, travel trailers typically run $90 to $175 per night, campervans land around $150 to $225, and larger Class C motorhomes range from $200 to $325 per night, depending on season and the age of the rig. Mid-week stays in late May or September are the sweet spot for a cheap RV rental in Greilickville. Use the price filter to set your budget, then sort by Instant Book to lock in your dates quickly. Pro tip: booking two or three months ahead of the National Cherry Festival in early July almost always beats peak pricing.
rvezy.com/rv-search?SearchAddress=Greilickville%2C%20MichiganWhat license do I need to rent an RV in Greilickville?
Good news: a regular driver's license is all you need to rent an RV in Greilickville. Michigan does not require a special endorsement or commercial driver's license (CDL) for the motorhomes or trailers you'll find on RVezy, including larger Class A rigs. Approved drivers are generally 25 or older, and you'll verify your ID right through the RVezy platform during checkout. Visiting from outside the US? Bring your home country license plus an International Driving Permit (IDP). Most first-timers are surprised how smooth pickup is, since your host walks you through every system before you drive off.
help.rvezy.com/hc/en-us/articles/360039008774-Understanding-approved-driver-requirementsWhat protection is included with my Greilickville RV rental?
Every RV rental in Greilickville booked through RVezy includes a renter protection plan plus 24/7 roadside assistance, so you can hit M-22 with real peace of mind. The protection plan covers physical damage to the RV during your trip, and you choose your level of coverage during checkout, not the host. It provides meaningful financial protection if something unexpected happens between Sleeping Bear Dunes and Old Mission Peninsula. Pro tip: pick the higher tier if you're a first-time renter. The few extra dollars per night buy a lot of relaxation when you're parking a 28-foot motorhome in downtown Traverse City.
help.rvezy.com/hc/en-us/articles/34008759079835-RVezy-renter-protection-plans-in-detailWhat is the cancellation policy for an RV rental in Greilickville?
Booking is low-risk: RVezy sets a clear, renter-friendly cancellation policy on every reservation, including a money-back grace period right after you book. The exact refund amount depends on how far out from your trip you cancel. Cancellation rules are managed by RVezy directly, not the individual host, so you get consistent treatment whichever RV you choose. Pro tip: book early to lock in summer Leelanau Peninsula dates, then use that grace period to confirm your campground reservation. If plans shift, reach out to RVezy support through the Help Center and they'll walk you through your options.
help.rvezy.com/hc/en-us/articles/360037736674-Understanding-the-cancellation-policy-for-guestsCan I bring my dog on a pet-friendly RV rental in Greilickville?
Absolutely, and your pup will love it. Many hosts offer a pet-friendly RV rental in Greilickville: just toggle the Pet-Friendly filter on RVezy to see every rig that welcomes four-legged passengers. Once you're here, dogs are allowed on leash at Leelanau State Park, the Sleeping Bear Heritage Trail, and many Traverse City area beaches during posted hours. The TART Trail running right past Greilickville along Grand Traverse Bay is a daily favorite for dog walks. Pro tip: message the host before booking to mention your dog's size and breed, and ask about their cleaning expectations so checkout is seamless.
michigan.gov/dnr/things-to-do/petsCan the RV be delivered to my campsite in Greilickville?
Yes, RV delivery in Greilickville is one of the most popular options on RVezy, and it's perfect if you'd rather skip driving a big rig. Many local hosts will deliver and fully set up your motorhome or travel trailer at nearby campgrounds like Lake Leelanau RV Park, Leelanau Pines Campground, Traverse City State Park, or Timber Ridge Resort. They'll level the RV, connect water, sewer, and electric, and walk you through every system before handing over the keys. Filter by Delivery on RVezy to see hosts offering this service, then message them with your campground name and site number. Pro tip: delivery is a game-changer for first time renting an RV with kids or grandparents along.
rvezy.com/rv-search?SearchAddress=Greilickville%2C%20MichiganHow many miles can I drive on my Greilickville RV trip?
You'll have plenty of miles to roam. Most hosts on RVezy include 100 to 150 free miles per night for motorhome rentals around Greilickville, and some offer RV rental with unlimited mileage if you're planning a longer Michigan loop. Additional miles typically run $0.30 to $0.50 each, clearly listed on every listing. To put it in perspective: Sleeping Bear Dunes National Lakeshore is about 22 miles west, Mackinaw City is roughly 105 miles north, and Petoskey sits about 65 miles northeast. Pro tip: if you're planning a full Up North circle including the Mackinac Bridge or Pictured Rocks, filter for unlimited-mileage listings or message hosts to negotiate a mileage package upfront.
rvezy.com/rv-search?SearchAddress=Greilickville%2C%20MichiganWhere are the best campgrounds near Greilickville?
You're spoiled for choice. Some of the best campgrounds near Greilickville include Traverse City State Park (just a few miles east with Lake Michigan beach access), Lake Leelanau RV Park (full-hookup sites on an inland lake), Leelanau Pines Campground (family-friendly with a sandy beach), Timber Ridge Resort (wooded sites near the VASA Trail), and Leelanau State Park at the peninsula tip (rustic sites near the Grand Traverse Lighthouse). Each offers easy access to Sleeping Bear Dunes and the wineries of M-22. Pro tip: lock in summer reservations the moment your dates are firm, because Traverse City State Park books out months ahead.
midnrreservations.com/When is the best time of year for an RV trip from Greilickville?
Late June through mid-September is the gold-standard window for a Greilickville RV trip, with daytime highs typically in the mid-70s to low 80s Fahrenheit and warm Lake Michigan swims by late July. May and early June bring cooler 60 to 70 degree days, cherry blossoms on Old Mission Peninsula, and lower rates. Fall color along M-22 typically peaks the first two weeks of October and is genuinely world-class. Winters are cold with heavy lake-effect snow, so most campgrounds close mid-October through April. Pro tip: aim for the week after Labor Day. The weather is still warm, kids are back in school, and you'll have Sleeping Bear Dunes nearly to yourself.
weather.gov/apx/I've never driven an RV. Will I be okay renting in Greilickville?
You'll do great. First time renting an RV is exactly who RVezy is built for, and Greilickville is a forgiving place to learn. Your host gives you a full walkthrough at pickup covering driving, leveling, propane, water, and dump procedures, and you have their contact info plus RVezy's support the whole trip. The roads around Leelanau and the Old Mission Peninsula are scenic two-lanes with gentle grades, very different from mountain driving. If even that feels like a stretch, book a host who offers delivery and you'll never have to drive the RV at all. Pro tip: start with a smaller Class C or a campervan rental in Greilickville; they handle much like a large van.
help.rvezy.com/hc/en-us/articles/360039008774-Understanding-approved-driver-requirementsWhat happens if I have a breakdown during my RV camping Greilickville trip?
You're never on your own. Every RVezy booking includes 24/7 roadside assistance as part of the protection plan, covering tows, jump-starts, lockouts, tire changes, and fuel delivery. If something goes sideways on US-31 or out near Empire, one phone call gets help dispatched. Your host is also a direct resource for quick questions like how to reset the inverter, and RVezy's support team is available through the Help Center. The nearest major service hubs are Traverse City (a few miles east) and Cadillac (about 50 miles south). Pro tip: snap a quick photo of the RV's VIN and license plate at pickup so you have it ready if you ever need to call for service.
help.rvezy.com/hc/en-us/articles/34008759079835-RVezy-renter-protection-plans-in-detailCan I take my RV rental from Greilickville across the border into Canada?
Cross-border travel into Canada is possible on some RVezy rentals, but it depends on the individual host and the insurance tied to the rig. Message the host directly from the listing page before you book, mention your planned dates and destinations, and confirm in writing that Canadian travel is approved. Travel into Mexico is not allowed on RVezy rentals because insurance coverage does not extend there. Within the US, you're free to roam, and popular RV road trip options from Greilickville include the Lake Michigan Circle Tour or a loop through the Upper Peninsula. Pro tip: bring your passport and pet vaccination records if Canada is on the itinerary.
help.rvezy.com/hc/en-us/articles/360039340074-Insurance-coverage-validityWhat should I budget for fuel on a motorhome rental Greilickville trip?
Fuel is the biggest variable, but it's easy to plan. Most motorhome rentals in Greilickville get 8 to 12 miles per gallon, while campervans and smaller Class B rigs often hit 16 to 20 mpg. Michigan gas prices in the Traverse City area typically run close to the national average. For a classic 250-mile weekend loop through Sleeping Bear Dunes, Glen Arbor, and Suttons Bay, budget roughly $75 to $110 in fuel for a Class C. Pro tip: fill up in Traverse City before heading out M-22, since stations get sparse and pricier once you pass Leland or head toward Northport.
eia.gov/petroleum/gasdiesel/How far ahead should I book a campground for my RV rental Michigan trip?
For summer weekends, book your campground the same day you reserve your RV rental Michigan trip, ideally 4 to 6 months ahead. Michigan State Parks like Traverse City State Park and Leelanau State Park open reservations 6 months in advance through the official MiDNRReservations system, and waterfront sites disappear quickly for July and August. Private parks like Lake Leelanau RV Park and Leelanau Pines also fill quickly for the National Cherry Festival in early July. Shoulder season (mid-May, September, early October) is much easier and often available within a week or two. Pro tip: set up your MiDNRReservations account in advance so you're ready to book the second the window opens.
midnrreservations.com/What are the driving conditions like around Greilickville?
Driving around Greilickville is genuinely pleasant. M-22 hugs the Leelanau Peninsula coastline with gentle curves, light traffic, and beautiful Lake Michigan views, and US-31 connects you to Traverse City in just a few minutes. Speeds top out at 55 mph on most rural routes. The main thing to watch for is summer pedestrian and cyclist traffic in Suttons Bay, Leland, and downtown Traverse City, plus deer at dawn and dusk. Winter brings serious lake-effect snow from November through March. Big-rig drivers should note that a few wine-country lanes have low tree canopies. Pro tip: avoid US-31 through Traverse City between 4 and 6 pm on summer Fridays, when cottage traffic peaks.
mdotjboss.state.mi.us/MiDrive/mapWhat amenities will I find at campgrounds near Greilickville?
Most campgrounds near Greilickville offer the full setup. Private parks like Lake Leelanau RV Park provide full-hookup sites with 20/30/50-amp electric, water, sewer, Wi-Fi, hot showers, laundry, and an on-site dump station. Traverse City State Park has modern sites with electric hookups, showers, flush toilets, and a dump station near the entrance. Leelanau State Park's rustic campground has vault toilets and potable water for filling tanks but no electric hookups or showers, perfect if you want quieter, off-grid nights. Street RV parking is not allowed in Elmwood Township, so reserve a real site if you're wondering where to park an RV in Greilickville overnight. Pro tip: top off fresh water before heading to rustic spots.
michigan.gov/dnr/things-to-do/campingWhat's included inside a typical RV rental in Greilickville?
You'll be impressed by how turnkey these rigs are. A typical RV rental in Greilickville comes with real beds (queen or king in larger units, plus bunks and convertible dinettes), a full kitchen with fridge, freezer, stove, microwave, sink, and cookware, a bathroom with toilet and shower, air conditioning, furnace heat, a TV, and seatbelted passenger seats. Many include a generator, outdoor speakers, and an awning for shady Lake Michigan afternoons. Wi-Fi varies depending on the host and cell signal, so don't count on it deep in Sleeping Bear Dunes. Pro tip: read the listing's amenities list carefully and message the host if you need specifics like a coffee maker, high chair, or starter propane tank.
nps.gov/slbe/planyourvisit/camping.htmWhat add-ons can I get with my campervan rental Greilickville booking?
Hosts make your trip easier with optional extras. Common add-ons for a campervan rental in Greilickville include linens and towel packs, kitchen kits, bike racks, kayak and SUP carriers, generators, portable grills, fire pits, camp chairs, and pet-cleaning fees if you bring a dog. Many hosts also offer delivery to nearby campgrounds plus full setup. Pickup is usually in the afternoon with a mid-morning return window. Mileage policies typically include 100 to 150 free miles per night. Pro tip: bundle a bike rack add-on and ride the TART Trail or the Sleeping Bear Heritage Trail straight from your campsite.
traversetrails.org/How does the security deposit and payment work on RVezy?
Payment is simple and transparent. When you book your rent an RV in Greilickville trip, RVezy charges your card the rental total, taxes, and chosen protection plan upfront, all securely through the platform. A refundable security deposit is pre-authorized on your card before pickup, not actually charged, and released after a clean return. To avoid issues, do a thorough video walkaround with your host at pickup and drop-off, return the RV on time with the fuel and propane levels matching the agreement, and dump the tanks if required. Pro tip: keep gas and dump-station receipts; they're great proof if any questions come up at return.
help.rvezy.com/hc/en-us/articles/360038106214-How-the-security-deposit-worksWhat are the best road trip destinations from Greilickville?
You're parked at the doorstep of some of the Midwest's greatest drives. Top road trip destinations for a family RV trip from Greilickville: Sleeping Bear Dunes National Lakeshore (about 22 miles west, plan a full day on the Pierce Stocking Scenic Drive), Mackinaw City and the Mackinac Bridge (about 105 miles north), Pictured Rocks National Lakeshore in the Upper Peninsula (about 210 miles via the bridge), Petoskey and Harbor Springs (about 65 miles northeast for the Tunnel of Trees on M-119), and the wineries of Old Mission Peninsula (just east of Traverse City). Pro tip: the Leelanau Peninsula loop on M-22 is only about 70 miles round-trip from Greilickville but easily fills a perfect day with beaches, lighthouses, and pie stops in Cedar.
