Looking for a great Michigan campground that offers RV rentals

I foolishly made a promise to my 7 year old grandson that we'd sleep in an RV. Turns out the expense is exhorbitant to rent an RV and drive to a campground, with gas, setup, and all the upkeep we know nothing about. We're greenhorns when it comes to campgrounds, but I understand some of them rent RVs like cottages. I just don't know which one to choose. Any suggestions?

Maybe this place http://www.coolwatercamp.com/

It is south of Traverse City and has lots of activities/fishing/canoeing on site.

We settled on Jellystone Campground in Frankenmuth, MI. They have an indoor pool, minigolf and arcade - right up my grandson's alley. The RV rental is $200 for two nights. I will report back next week in case anyone else is looking for this type of experience.

Jellystone was great! The indoor pool was immaculate and we were practically the only ones in there most of the time. There was a small mini golf course and an "arcade", which wasn't much. The RV was clean and comfortable. It was a great experience for our grandson and we will definitely do it again next year. Thanks for the advice!
