Pleasant Ridge camping overview
Pleasant Ridge sits in Oakland County just north of Detroit, putting RV travellers within easy reach of the state recreation areas that ring metro Detroit and the cross-border parks in Essex County, Ontario. Public campgrounds sit roughly thirty to forty minutes northwest along the Huron River corridor, while private RV resorts are clustered on the Canadian side of the Detroit River. A valid passport or enhanced ID is required for the Ontario options.
The closest state-managed options are Pontiac Lake Recreation Area, which spans 3,745 acres and features camping, trails, a fishing pier, paddlesports and amenities for horseback riding, and Proud Lake Recreation Area, a 3,000-acre state recreation area located on the scenic Huron River in Commerce Township, Michigan, about 40 minutes from downtown Detroit. Both are booked through the Michigan DNR reservation system.
On the Ontario side, Windsor Campground Inc, Wildwood Golf and RV Resort, and Sun Retreats Amherstburg cater to full-hookup RV travellers, with the Amherstburg property sitting closest to Lake Erie.
Things to do near Pleasant Ridge
Water and trail activity anchors most trips. Proud Lake offers a modern campground, overnight lodging, boating access sites, fishing and paddling opportunities and an extensive trail system open to hiking, horseback riding and mountain biking, with the park's section of the Huron River managed as a Type I trout stream. Family - Pontiac Lake Recreational Area adds a lake beach, an off-leash dog area and technical singletrack: the 11-mile mountain bike trail has been ranked as one of the Top 100 Trails in the United States and is considered one of the most technical trails in southeast Michigan.
Across the river, base at Wildwood Golf and RV Resort for eighteen holes and Essex County wineries, or at Sun Retreats Amherstburg for pool days and family programming. The resort features a playground, horseshoe pits, an outdoor movie theater, a kiddie pool, and family activities.

The prime RV window runs from late May through early October. Summer weekends fill quickly at Michigan DNR parks, and reservation windows should be treated as booking deadlines rather than starting points. Reservations for Pontiac Lake Campground can be made through the Michigan Department of Natural Resources reservation system. Sites can be booked up to six months in advance, and it is advisable to reserve early for summer weekends as this Oakland County favorite fills quickly.
Shoulder seasons are workable but cooler. The Proud Lake campground is open year-round. Halloween weekends are popular with families, and Michigan state parks commonly host site decorating, trick-or-treating, costume contests and hayrides during that stretch. Windsor Campground Inc and most Ontario private parks operate seasonally: Sun Retreats Amherstburg is open May 1 through October 31, and neighbouring resorts follow a similar mid-spring through mid-fall window.
Winter travel is limited. Snow, ice and facility closures affect access across the region, so travellers should verify status with each park before arrival.

Binbin27 trips - Joined Jul 2023
This was our very first time renting an RV, and I honestly couldn't have asked for a better experience. From the moment we booked, our host, Binbin, was incredibly kind, patient, and welcoming. Anytime I had a question—no matter how small—I could call or message him, and he was always quick to answer. He took the time to explain everything thoroughly and never made me feel like I was asking too many questions. By the time we left, I felt like an RV pro thanks to him! The RV itself was absolutely beautiful, spotless, and exceptionally well maintained. It was comfortable, spacious, and had everything my family needed for an amazing trip. You can tell Binbin truly takes pride in taking care of his RV and making sure his guests have a wonderful experience. This trip created memories we'll never forget, and a big part of that was because of how wonderful Binbin was as a host. I genuinely can't say enough good things about him. If you're considering renting an RV, I highly recommend this one. We will definitely be renting from Binbin again for our future trips. Thank you, Binbin, for making our first RV adventure so enjoyable, stress-free, and memorable!
