A Quiet Retreat on Starvation Lake

Tucked among the northern pines just off M-119, Starvation Lake RV Park is a destination for travelers who want the comforts of home with the freedom of the open road.

Every site is equipped with 50-amp electric service and full sewer hookups, so you can stay for a weekend or a season without compromise. Our spacious lots provide generous privacy between rigs, and the surrounding tree line offers natural shade and a sense of seclusion.

When you step outside your door, the lake is close enough to hear. On-site fishing lets you cast a line without leaving the property, and nearby hiking trails wind through old-growth forest and along scenic ridges.

Margaret T. Full-time RVer

The full sewer hookups made our two-week stay incredibly easy. No trips to the dump station — just pull in and settle. The surrounding woods are beautiful, and we loved the quiet evenings by the lake.

Robert & Diane K. Weekend Travelers

Perfect location for exploring northern Michigan. We hiked the trails, fished the lake, and drove into town for supplies. Everything was close, and the park itself is well-maintained and peaceful. Highly recommend.
