Camping at the Portage Lake Waterloo Recreation Area, Mi.
The Waterloo Recreation Area is around 60sq miles with several campgrounds and miles of bicycle and hiking trails.
There are two modern, and two rustic campsites in the Waterloo Recreation ARea. Portage Lake, which is the western-most modern campsite within the Waterloo area, consists of 136 well maintained campsites, many of which are asphalt covered. The lake is located about 10 miles east of Jackson, Mi. The quaint town of Hell is located nearby, which is the typical tourist trap. However, you can get your postage stamped here, and it is a popular mailing location on Apr 15th (tax day) by some residents. There are no convenience stores nearby, so bring what you need with you if you have limited transportation. There is firewood and ice available at the campground.
Also nearby is the town is Chelsea, where Actor/Singer Jeff Daniels (Dumb and Dumber) lives. Jeff is a big-time RV'er, and there is a nice RV dealership in town (Lloyd Bridges RV). You will not likely see Jeff at the state park though. However, if you have time, be sure to take in the Purple Rose Theater in Chelsea, which was founded by Jeff Daniels. There is a small sandy beach, however it is about a 1/4mi walk from the campground.
