Located
along the winding Shiawassee River, the recently expanded Showboat Park
Campground boasts a lovely wooded setting. It has 70 lots with
electricity - as well as a number of primitive campsites situated on the
river bank.
Showboat
Park Campground is part of a 67-acre municipal park within the village
of historic Chesaning. The lovely park, home of the famous Chesaning
Showboat, is on a hillside which rolls down to the river flats. There
are softball diamonds, volleyball sand courts, basketball courts, a
handicapped accessible fishing pier, boat launch, three picnic
pavilions, and playground equipment as well as modern restrooms and a
bath house with hot showers.
The
campground is secluded in a wooded area with a true "up north" feel.
And yet, it is only a few minutes walk or a short bike ride away from
Chesaning's quaint downtown shopping district. Among the village's
year-round attractions are the Chesaning Showboat, numerous festivals,
a highly-rated golf course, an antique mall and many restaurants.
The
campground is well situated for day trips to premier Michigan vacation
attractions including Frankenmuth, Birch Run Outlet Shopping Malls, St.
Charles Rails to Trails, the Shiawassee National Game Refuge, the
Owosso Steam Railroading Institute home of the steam engine Pere
Marquette No. 1225 (famous as the sound effects for the movie Polar Express) and Soaring Eagle Casino at Mt. Pleasant.
