The Best Areas in Michigan To Go Glamping
Before we jump into the list, let’s take a quick look at the different areas of the state. This way, you can better decide where to base your glam camping in Michigan.
The Upper Peninsula: Also referred to as “the UP,” this is the forested rural region of the state. It borders three of the Great Lakes and provides for an outdoorsy, nature-focused vacation. In some areas, you can even see the Northern Lights.
Northern Michigan: This is the upper section of Michigan’s lower peninsula. It’s bordered by Lake Michigan and full of scenic spots, including Sleeping Bear Sand Dunes. It’s also home to Traverse City, which is Michigan’s famed wine region and the Cherry Capital of the World.
West Michigan: This area is great if you want to glamp in peace but have the option of easy travel to the bigger cities, like Grand Rapids, Saugatuck, and Holland. The beautiful Silver Lake, with its many sand dunes and water activities, is also in this region.
Southwest Michigan: Spanning Lake Michigan’s beautiful coastline, this is a great place to go for a lakeside vacation. And it’s just across the border from Chicago, Illinois. The Warren Dunes State Park cabins are a popular option for travelers for glamping.
