Welcome to the premier “playground” for outdoors and motorsport enthusiasts – St. Helen, Michigan. This is a true “hidden gem” tucked away in the beautifully forested Michigan interior. With a stunning 2,200-acre lake, public beach, 300+ miles of off-road recreation trails, camping resorts and more, St. Helen is, without a doubt, the outdoor activity “capital” of the U.S. mid-east.
And that’s why Tilbury Auto Sales & RV was so excited to have St. Helen Power Sports RV & Auto Sales join our family in the fall of 2022.

The experience of our CEO Lindsay Belanger in engaging with the community has been overwhelmingly positive. Lindsay has “felt the love” and acceptance from the community as the new guy in town.
“The community has been very real to me, very warm. They’ve taken me in like a long lost friend,” he said. In just over six months, Lindsay has discovered that the attraction of St. Helen is not just the fun and beauty it offers but also its friendliness, openness and acceptance.
St. Helen stands apart as a unique place to experience fun and adventure in a wide variety of ways within a warm and welcoming community. Matt Henning, Sales Manager at St. Helen Power Sports, shared his thoughts: “It’s a different world here in St. Helen. Here, we’re allowed to ride on the streets. We’re allowed to ride golf carts, mini bikes, side-by-sides, basically anything with a motor.” It’s commonplace to drive by restaurants, gas stations and even our dealership in town and see ATVs and UTVs parked outside.
