RV camping near Trowbridge Park, Michigan
Trowbridge Park is an unincorporated community and census-designated place in Marquette Township, on the eastern edge of Marquette County in Michigan's Upper Peninsula. It sits directly against the western and northern city limits of Marquette, with US-41 and M-28 forming the southern edge of the community. That puts RV travelers within a short drive of Lake Superior, the Dead River, the Carp River, and the trail networks around Marquette Mountain.
Camping options in the immediate area are a mix of city-run, private resort, and forested private parks. Tourist Park Campground is a city-owned facility on the north edge of Marquette along the Dead River, roughly a mile from Lake Superior beaches and connected to the local multi-use bike path. Rippling River Resort sits along the Carp River at the base of Marquette Mountain, and Chocolay River RV and Campgrounds is a full-hookup, pull-through RV park off M-28 near the NMU Golf Course and ATV trailheads.
Forestville Campground and Raging River Resort round out the closest options for travelers who want to stay near town without giving up quick access to Lake Superior and the surrounding public lands.
Things to do near Trowbridge Park
The Marquette area is built around outdoor recreation. From Tourist Park Campground, guests are about a mile from Lake Superior beaches and can access a multi-use bike path plus hiking trails without leaving the property. Presque Isle Park, Lower Harbor, and downtown Marquette are all a short drive or bike ride from Trowbridge Park.
Mountain biking is a defining draw. Rippling River Resort connects directly to miles of singletrack around Marquette Mountain, and the Noquemanon Trail Network stretches across the surrounding hills. Paddlers use the Dead River, Carp River, and Lake Superior itself, and anglers fish for trout and salmon in the rivers and near-shore waters.
Day trips are practical. Pictured Rocks National Lakeshore lies east along M-28, and Van Riper State Park is about 35 miles west off US-41, with a sandy swim beach on Lake Michigamme.

The RV season around Trowbridge Park is short and concentrated. Tourist Park Campground typically operates from late May through mid-October, with exact opening and closing dates set each year depending on weather. Most other developed campgrounds in the area follow a similar mid-May through mid-October window. Rippling River Resort is one of the few that operates year-round, catering to snowmobilers and skiers in winter as well as summer campers.
June through August is peak season. Sites at Tourist Park and other in-town campgrounds book quickly for weekends, holidays, and the Hiawatha Traditional Music Festival, so early reservations are important. September brings cooler nights, fewer bugs, and fall color across the hardwoods, and it is also the wettest month of the year on average.
Winter is dominated by heavy lake-effect snow off Lake Superior, and most seasonal campgrounds are closed. Spring is cool, wet, and slow to warm, with most campgrounds opening in the second half of May.
How to book campgrounds near Trowbridge Park
Tourist Park Campground is operated by the City of Marquette. Reservations for the coming season open in early January at 8:00 a.m. Eastern Time and can be made online through the city's Campspot listing or by phone.
