The city is only a couple of hours' drive away from the incredible natural spots you can only find on the Upper Peninsula. In addition to wonderful nature, the city will surprise you with exciting festivals that reflect the local culture, great pubs and restaurants, and a relaxed atmosphere.

One of the largest state parks in the state, Hartwick Pines State Park attracts outdoor enthusiasts to wander among the old-growth pine trees and feel the peace found only in the deep forest. Miles of trails are waiting for hikers, while anglers can pay a visit to the Au Sable River or one of the lakes. Those who are looking for something unique can enter the Hartwick Pines Logging Museum or see how a reconstructed logging camp looks. Park your Charlevoix RV rental in this wonderful park and get a glimpse of the Michigan landscape before the extensive logging that happened in the area.

Only a couple of hours of driving separate you from the untamed nature of the Upper Peninsula when you opt for a camper rental in Charlevoix.
