Oakland County (Mich) Parks campgrounds open May 21



Addison Oaks and Groveland Oaks county parks, located in Oakland County, Michigan, will open for camping on May 21. The campgrounds are open seven days through fall.

“Camping is a great opportunity for families to share time together and to enjoy the great outdoors,” Parks Supervisor Boyd Brokenshaw said. “Memorial weekend at the campgrounds is an exciting time to camp. Campers can enjoy live music, crafts, mobile recreation and more. Themed weekends continue throughout the season.”

Both parks offer cabins, modern and group sites; as well as trails, fishing, swimming and bike rentals. Addison Oaks offers 7.5 miles of marked mountain bike and hiking trails, a 2.5-mile paved trail and a 24-hole disc golf course. Groveland Oaks features a giant waterslide, 18-hole mini golf course, skate park and one-mile paved hiking trail.

Telephone reservations are now accepted for 48 select sites at each park, plus five- and six-person cabins. Reservations must include, at a minimum, both Friday and Saturday nights.

Addison Oaks County Park is located at 1480 West Romeo Road in Leonard.

Groveland Oaks County Park is located at 14555 Dixie Highway in Holly.

On Aug. 3, 2010, Oakland County voters will be asked to vote on the renewal of a 10-year millage of .2415 for the purpose of operating, maintaining, improving and acquiring parks and recreation areas and facilities in Oakland County.

My family (wife and three kids, sometimes the dog) and I have been RV campers since 2007. We own a 2000 Trail-Lite B22 Bantam hybrid, our tow vehicle is a 2006 Trailblazer LT EXT (5.3 V8 with 3.73 Rear Axle Ratio), and our setup includes the Equalizer sway controller. Looking to upgrade the camper in the near future, but until then we get out 2-3 times a month in season.
