RESORT TYPE Coast Premier LOCATION Omer, Michigan SEASON May 12–October 9 WEBSITE www.outdooradventuresinc.com
When Outdoor Adventures purchased this property in 1996, it was known as Sunshine Valley Campground. Although there’s still sunshine in the valley, the name Wilderness is much more fitting. The resort is truly a place where you can get in touch with nature. With hundreds of spacious campsites, plus cabinette and park model rental units, there’s a place for you whether you’re traveling with or without your RV. Once onsite you can choose from a variety of activities. Take a dip in the hot tub, go for a swim in the pool, throw horseshoes, or play shuffleboard, basketball, and badminton. In addition, there are many activities planned by the energetic staff. Go for a bike ride, check out the game room or the adult lounge, or meet up with friends at the community fire pit. On your tour around the resort, make sure to stop by and visit the bear. He’s become quite the celebrity. Wilderness Resort Get in touch with nature at this beautiful resort
Although Wilderness Resort is located in Omer, you won’t find a busy downtown because Omer is quite small. In fact there is a sign on U.S. Highway 23 that proclaims the town as Michigan’s Smallest City. It’s actually the second smallest city in the state, as of the 2010 census, with a population of 313. If you’re fortunate to be in the area in spring, head to the nearby Rifle River to engage in the sport of sucker fishing. The river was once a logging river during the Michigan forest boom at the turn of the 20th century. Rifle River is now primarily used for recreation, and is a state-designated natural river, popular for canoeing and having the best white sucker runs in the state of Michigan. Head east and enjoy the water of Lake Huron, the second-largest of the Great Lakes by surface area. Covering almost 23,000 square miles, it is the fifth- largest freshwater lake on Earth.
