Indian River RV Resort and Campground

We stayed for the season Summer 2020. We were on the waiting list (highly desireable) then Covid prevented Canadians entering and their reservations opened. The family owners are people we'd love to have for our hometown close friends. I loved the trails through the forest surrounding the campground. I hooked up a 20' kayak on transport wheels to the back of my fat tire bike and rode mostly downhill to the lake and put in. You have to go out the back and turn right for the longdownhill trek... well, a mile, maybe 1.5 miles. The camp store was nice for wife Rae to buy treats. Not for herself... she says I respond well to treats. Of course they have propane and firewood and RV dump and water. Sights as well, and electricity. Some tent sites too. We heard about Indian Lake Campground from a Pharmasist in our town and met another camp couple from the town I get up. I'm a knight of Columbus so I took great joy from caring for Father McGivney's display room on campus of Cross In The Woods. we especially enjoyed Mass indoors and out at The Cross. I could spend days there walking the private devotional paths, monuments and display rooms. The bike path at the camp runs at least as far as Bay City bc it's a rail trail and it was a daily run from Bay City. Nice for a short trip to town for anything. Real nice choice of retail stores in town, grocery, hardware, coffee and bakery, clothing and beach ware and beach stuff. Best kayak or canoe in the lower peninsula a long the Sturgeon River. With little children that need support start way down past I-75 and exit in Wolverine. Most start Wolverine or later and end in Indian River but this is no fun for little children that need help in the water... or for their parents beyond Wolverine. Even with life preserves if the children cannot swim to shore in a rapid current, don't do it. Starting way South past I-75 is quiet, serene and enjoyable even if you tip over. Regardless, children must be able to swim to 20' to the banks with a life preserver. Tubes are especially difficult bc the travel with the current and there is no way to navigate around obstacles. Very good restaurants in town and a short drive to Petoskey and Harbor Springs... or Mackinac Island, St. Signage and the Soo Locks. You'll see cool vintage cars around town too. I stop to chat and heard the best family history of a Corvette passed down in the family and used on honeymoons. Best of all are the folks and family that own and operate the Campground. See you this Summer.
