Best Glamping near Alpena, MI
Old Orchard Park Campground and Hoeft State Park in northeastern Michigan house glamping accommodations with electrical hookups, comfortable camping experiences, and amenities beyond traditional tent camping. The sites at Hoeft State Park feature thirty-amp electric service, picnic tables, and fire rings near Lake Huron's sandy shoreline. "It's a short walk from the campground to Lake Huron, the beach is great and another short walk will bring you to the day use area," notes one guest. Old Orchard Park offers both cabin and yurt accommodations with water hookups, making it ideal for visitors seeking a more refined outdoor experience with proper bedding, climate control, and rustic comforts.
The waterfront locations of these glamping sites create opportunities for swimming, paddling, and beachcombing along Lake Huron. Paved biking trails connect Hoeft State Park to Rogers City and the 40 Mile Point Lighthouse, while hiking paths wind through wooded areas surrounding the campgrounds. One reviewer highlighted, "It's a short drive to Ocqueoc waterfall which is worth a trip, and the only public waterfall in the lower peninsula of MI." The glamping cabins serve as comfortable basecamps for exploring nearby attractions including the Alpena Wildlife Sanctuary, Thunder Bay River, and historic lighthouses. Both locations maintain shower facilities and modern toilets while providing a more comfortable camping experience than traditional tent sites throughout the summer season.
