Best Cabin Camping near Au Train, MI

192 Reviews

Several campgrounds near Au Train, Michigan offer rustic cabins with varying amenities and comfort levels. Superior Times provides cabins with newly remodeled bathrooms, comfortable beds, and quality bedding, situated on Au Train Lake with private fire pits. "We stayed in a cabin with a newly remodeled bathroom, which was very nice. The beds were comfortable and the bedding was nice too," notes one visitor. Grand Island Cabins features more remote accommodations requiring a 3.1-mile hike to access, with each unit containing bunk beds that sleep up to 8 people, porches, and nearby pit toilets. Munising-Pictured Rocks KOA and Wandering Wheels Campground also offer cabin rentals with access to shared facilities like showers, while Rippling Rivers RV Resort includes both luxury and rustic cabin options.

Cabin rentals range from basic forest cabins with wood stoves to more modern units with electricity and indoor plumbing. Most rustic cabins feature bunk beds or single beds with simple furnishings, while upgraded options may include private bathrooms, kitchenettes, and air conditioning. Pet policies vary by location, with Superior Times and several other campgrounds allowing pets in select cabins. Reservations are essential during peak summer months (June-August) when Pictured Rocks National Lakeshore attracts numerous visitors. Many cabins remain open from May through October, though availability becomes limited during fall color season in September when the area experiences high demand for all accommodations.

Most cabin rentals provide beds with mattresses but require guests to bring their own bedding, pillows, and towels. Cooking facilities vary widely, from simple fire rings with grill grates to cabins with mini-refrigerators and microwaves. Visitors should pack flashlights or lanterns for rustic cabins without electricity, along with cooking utensils, coolers, and food supplies. The town of Munising, approximately 15-20 minutes from Au Train, offers grocery stores, restaurants, and camping supplies. On-site camp stores at locations like Superior Times and Wandering Wheels stock basic necessities, firewood, and ice. For cabins with wood stoves, split firewood is typically provided or available for purchase nearby.

    Mckeever Cabin

    Secluded little cabin on the lake

    Private cabin on Mckeever lake. Loved this spot! Cabin with two bunk beds, a woodburning stove, table and seating. Water pump available as well as a woodshed and outhouse. Key code entry is provided when booked.

    The cabin is a short 1000 foot walk from the parking in warmer months but in the winter can only be accessed from ski trail parking and is about a mile walk or ski in.

    Located just uphill from the lake and along ski trails this spot was good for all seasons. About a half hour drive from Munising.

    Tom's Lake Cabin

    Nice remote cabin!

    Great cabin. I would highly encourage anyone who likes the outdoors to go there. I'm reluctant to post a good review because I don't want everyone booking up all the dates, but like any other government program, if you don't show a need they won't give funding to build more cabins like this.

    The cabin is great for a family. We brought our kids and they loved it. Having no electricity was great and no running water added to the "camping" experience. The outhouse was only about 25 yards from the cabin and there was a wood shed in back too so you don't have to worry about that, which is nice. We had the lake to ourselves and couldn't see or hear any other people. Why you'd chose a campground instead of a place like this is beyond me. The water was about 75 yards from the cabin with the fire pit that way as well. The lake had some muck the first few feet but was sandy after that.

    Inside the cabin were two tables and eight chairs. There was a small counter top as well. The wood stove was free standing so be careful about burns if you use it. The storage room was also nice to double as a changing room. There was plenty of space in the bunk room, enough beds for 8. The cabin is usually pretty dark, even in the middle of the day so make sure you bring lights and lanterns. There are hooks hanging from the ceiling in 4 or 5 spots throughout the cabin for light.

    The bugs weren't bad but the horseflies and mosquitoes could make a showing. You're not far from Munising and we took trips up that way. The Camel Riders restaurant is only 2 minutes down the road and is decent, but small. They have a couple televisions for the kids. The prices are what you'd expect from a resort restaurant and the food does take a while, but it's pretty good.

    If you're coming from the south I would recommend stopping at Van Cleve Park in Gladstone on your way up. The beach is really nice and they have a big playground. Worth the stop.

    Twelvemile Beach Campground — Pictured Rocks National Lakeshore

    Gorgeous, off the grid.

    This place is a gem. 50 minutes from Munising, makes the perfect camping spot for a pictures rocks trip.

    Beautiful beach with all the privacy in the world. The best part about camping here was the Beach!

    Another really nice amenity was the lantern posts next to the picnic table and the grill grate attached to the fire pit. Can’t recommend this place enough.

    Some tips: DO NOT take 721 trail off Adams trail. Apple maps told us to take this route. It’s really only meant for atv’s and specialized off road vehicles. It would have saved 3 minutes off our total drive time. The local tow truck told us he comes here 3 times a week while he towed us out. And there’s no signal. It was pretty scary.

    No running water in restroom, so pack some Clorox wipes.

    Bugs are pretty bad on the non-lake side so try to get a site near the water.

    Wandering Wheels Campground

    Conveniently located off the highway close to town.

    The campground is right off the highway heading west into Munising. There are picnic tables and a fire pit at each site as well as a trash can. There is a short walk to the restroom facilities that do include a shower. There is a pavilion, a playground and a heated pool on site. The campground also has a gift shop with a few camping related items. There are also a few cabins at the campground for rent.

    Mckeever Cabin

    Great cabin with quiet lake and walking trails.

    This was an awesome rustic cabin. We went to Tom's Lake Cabin a couple weeks prior to this and had a really good experience. I was able to book this one just a few weeks out.

    It's not on Google Maps so I had to plug the coordinates from Recreation.gov into the Maps program, then the route came up. I took this trip with my wife and 4 kids who were 1, 4, 8, and 9. I read there was a 1000 foot walk in and was fine with that but the trail was not as conducive for the wheeled wagon and bags, but they worked. It took several trips because we brought a ton of stuff for activities. I would recommend packing as much as you can in packs you can carry. There were a few bugs along the way so make sure you bring enough bug spray.

    When we got to the cabin, there were very few bugs and the cabin was nice and clean. The twin beds were just fine and there was enough room on the deck to keep supplies so you didn't have to crowd up the cabin. The cabin is at the top of a hill which offered a great view and discouraged the little ones from wandering. The pit toilet was clean without a bunch of bugs roaming around. There was plenty of wood in the shed. The Park Service advised that the wood should be used for just the stove inside the cabin. The fire ring and a picnic table is located right next to the cabin which made it convenient for fires. The water pump is located about 50 yards down hill toward the lake so make sure you bring something to carry water.

    The lake was nice and there was a very small sandy area near the shore. It got a little mucky as we ventured out. It was far enough from the cabin that I didn't have to worry as much about little kids drowning, which is good. Once you get out into the lake a little bit, the water is about 15-20 feet deep.

    Make sure you set aside some time to check out the trails around the cabin. They go in a loop and make for a fun hike.

    I would go back there again and I recommend this trip for anyone who is willing to put in a moderate amount of effort to get to the cabin. Once you're there the solitude is so much better than a crowded campground.

    Oh, and there's no cell service. Also, if you're coming from the south, don't forget to stop at Van Cleve Park in Gladstone. Totally worth it.

    Superior Times

    Family Friendly, Great Lake View, Accomodating owners

    We enjoyed our time at Superior Times. The owners are working to improve the resort and keep guests happy and have made several updates. We stayed in a cabin with a newly remodeled bathroom, which was very nice. The beds were comfortable and the bedding was nice too. 

    Kids fished, rode Sea Doos - rented them for $60/hour, played basketball, and had a great time. We sat around our own firepit and had a chance to unwind and relax.  We will be back in the early fall to see the colors change. 

    Great location to the Au Train falls and other waterfalls as well as Pictured Rocks.

    Twelvemile Beach Campground — Pictured Rocks National Lakeshore

    White Sand Beaches & Fall Color

    This rustic national lakeshore campground is tucked in the trees along the south shore of Lake Superior. Next to the campground, there is literally a 12-mile long beach of beautiful white sand along the crystal clear waters of this great lake.

    Each campsite is equipped with a picnic table and fire ring with water spigots scattered throughout the campground. There is no electricity available and only pit toilets (which are clean, but rather stinky). Sites are smallish, a bit close together, and can accommodate tents and only small RV’s. RV’s over 25 feet will only fit in a few of the sites near the entrance to the campground.

    We visited this campground in third week of September and hit the fall color spot on! The surrounding area provides great opportunities for water sports of all kinds, cycling, hiking, and dune climbing. Pictured Rocks National Lakeshore Visitor’s Center is about 35 miles west of this campground in the town of Munising where you will find grocery stores, gasoline, a laundromat, and restaurants.

    Grand Island Cabins

    Glamp hike

    Great cabin in the woods. 3.1 mile walk in. With porch and fire pit plus much more. Pit toilet with a roof and 4 walls. sleeps 8 with 4 bunks. The best part is having the beach so close you can hear the waves at night as you sleep. Water is very close as well. We had a RV water filter with a 5gal water storage and that last us the whole 3 day weekend
