With a pool, fishing pond, mini-golf, and free wagon rides, you’ll have the perfect mix of relaxation and fun. Whether you’re looking to get the full camping experience with a tent or get cozy in an RV, Covered Wagon has everything you need. The best part is that you’ll get all of this at a great price. A rustic campsite is affordable, as are campsites with hookups including electricity, water, and sewer.

Way Back In Campground 

Way Back In Campground in Jonesville, Michigan, is a little less than two hours from Detroit. This campground offers a friendly, fun, and beautiful experience for the whole family. When the weather isn’t cooperating, the kids will love the recreational room full of fun games such as foosball, pool, and air hockey. When the sun is shining, campers enjoy fishing, swimming, and playing sports.

If you’re not quite ready to go completely off the grid, you can take advantage of the campground’s available Wi-Fi, and you can even upgrade to a cabin. Some nearby attractions you’ll love visiting are All Sports Lake, Little River Railroad, Lost Nations National Forest, and the local golf courses. At only $12 to $20 per night for tents, $27 to $30 per night for RVs, and $40 to $55 per night for the campground’s cabins, you’ll be able to plan a fun little getaway without breaking the bank.

You’ll have all the amenities of home, such as flush toilets, showers, and electricity, and you’ll enjoy relaxing on the beach next to serene Marble Lake. Each site has a picnic table, fire ring, and access to play areas such as the playground and sports fields. You can also bring your furry friend along for the trip as long as you keep him or her on a leash. Overnight camping with water and electric is only $45 per night.
