We all love roasting marshmallows over a campfire—and you can often still do that while cabin camping in Belding. Finding a place to cabin camp in Michigan is easier than ever. From secluded to easy-to-reach, these Michigan cabin rentals are perfect for any adventurer.
Bertha Brock Park was founded in 1931 to be a public gathering place. With a host of facilities from rustic to refined, the park is a popular location for meetings, recreational events, weddings and receptions, family photos, and banquets.
A healthy trout stream runs through nearly 200 acres of beautiful rolling hills. Trails wind their way through the woods, rustic campsites are scattered along paved paths, and many playground and picnic areas can accommodate a quiet family outing or a major organized event.
$15 / night
Located just 20 minutes north of Lansing, Sleepy Hollow State Park is an idyllic getaway for anyone needing some time away from the city. The 2,600 acre park is situation on Price Road off US-27 making it easily accessible to people passing through. That being the case, the park still maintains its charm and accommodates campers and visitors every day without issue. The Little Maple river can be found winding in and out of the forested geography, with Lake Ovid situated right in the heart, thanks to the clever placement of a dam. Visitors come from all over to enjoy the scenic landscapes, birdwatching opportunities, and Winter Snowshoeing.
During the Spring, camp rangers host the weekly Sleepy Hollow State Park Nature program, which educates campers about local wildlife and the history of the surrounding regions. This is a great opportunity for families to spend some time together, especially after a long day of hiking and camping.
Surprisingly, it’s during the winter that this park is most frequently attended. In fact, Sleepy Hollow is most recognized for the miles of snowshoeing and cross country skiing trails that run through the land. The trails are well-traveled, however there’s no shortage of privacy to get out and find peace and quiet within the confines of a forest muted by snow.
Camping here is easily accessible. Michigan Residents can utilize their State Park Recreation Passport to get in for free. Otherwise, entrance rates are $11 for residents, and $16 for non-residents. If camping, full-service campsites start at $25/night, while walk-in rustic sites are only $17/night. Furthermore, if camping in a tent doesn’t sound like your thing there are onsite cabins available for rent at $68 per night. If you want electricity and a full-service cabin, Deluxe Cabins can be rented for $101 a night.
$25 - $101 / night
$28 - $50 / night
$35 - $45 / night
ScoutThisThis was the first time we've we had some guests come in for a couple hours and they were charging them $5 per person to get in and I had my aunt come in and she was handicap she parked close up to my camper it was on the grass a little bit and they yelled at her for it these people are rude and they watch you like a hawk every little thing you do they know what you're doing they kept charging my husband's credit card $5 per person I feel if you pay for your campsite you shouldn't have to pay for your guest they should check in at the office but they shouldn't have to pay I would never go back there again

Nice and cozy little campground in the middle of beautiful rolling farmlands. First time passing through and found it conveniently located within 40 mins of Holland and Saugatuck without needing to get on the highway. The woman at check in was extremely courteous and helpful. We stayed 2 nights over the weekend. Most people here are seasonal, occupying almost all the lakefront sites. We may have seen one lakefront available for renters. Everyone was polite, friendly and quiet after quiet hours. The sites are very small, not much privacy, but well kept. There are more spacious sites available on the upper grassy loop. Well kept grounds throughout with beautiful flowers. The bathrooms were wonderful with great hot water and water pressure. Pretty lake with swimming beach and playground lovely for day use. We would stay again. We stayed with 34’ camper inner lakefront. I did share a picture of waterfront sites, the one vacant spot is the only site available to rent right now. The rest are seasonal.

As a student, I recently utilized academlead essay writing services in uk https://www.linkedin.com/pulse/top-3-popular-essay-writing-services-uk-digital-marketplace1-n2mqf/. Their platform impressed me with its efficiency and quality. The writers were knowledgeable and delivered well-researched essays tailored to my academic needs. I appreciated their attention to detail and adherence to deadlines. AcademLead's service not only met but exceeded my expectations, making it a reliable choice for anyone seeking academic writing assistance in the UK. Highly recommended!

We just got done with a 3 night stay at Sleepy Hallow. The campsite itself was great, nice a roomy while also being wooded. The bugs were pretty intense, but bug spray helped. They are working on the natural gas pipeline nearby, so there was lots of construction noise. Verizon service was basically non existent other than at the beach. The dog beach was small and full of algae.
Scout
We initially booked a site by the river, but once we saw the sites next to the playground, we knew we had to switch for our sanity and so our toddler could play. They were very accommodating with us and so friendly. There was so much for our 2 year old and 10 year old to do. We will definitely be back!

Bertha Brock is a great place for families. Brining our kids here from Grand Rapids is quick and easy. It is generally quiet, especially on non holiday weekends. Occasionally there is chopped firewood up front, you get a goof amount for your money. Relatively close to town if you need to purchase food or other gear. Bugs (mosquitoes) can get pretty bad, bring lots of bug spray! Near ionia state park with a nice beach for swimming or boating (no wake). Campground manager is very nice and helpful if needed.

The owners are super nice and very attentive. The grounds and are very maintained. The showers, bathrooms, and pool are all above expectations for clean. This is an amazing and very kid friendly campground. We will for sure be back! Thank you!

Campground and pool is nice. Owners are unapologetically rude to guests when there is any issues. Had a minor parking issue with a neighbor when I moved my vehicle onto their parking spot on sunday for 20 minutes because they weren't there all wkend and I was spraying weed killer. The neighbor showed up and complained at the club house. The owner came to my lot and started yelling at me about how i have no right to do that. I apologized while he was yelling at me and he slammed his buggie door and drove off. As soon as I moved my vehicles I went to that neighbor.to apologized and she said no big deal. I gave the owners a bad review on line and now I am being kicked out. How is that right?! I follow the rules and keep my lot clean. I don't deserve to be yelled at and treated in such a rude manner. IF you decide to camp there don't speak to the owners unless you have to... this has happened to other guests too. Many have moved to other places because of the way they talk to people.
ScoutOwner is rude and unapologetic for being so.
Poisonous plants and creatures are usually pretty to look at. So is tyler creek until you speak to the owners for any reason and then they are rude and venomous. If I were you I would spend my hard earned money somewhere else.
ScoutI took a day hike back about a mile to site “F”. It was pretty private with a day site about 75 feet away so if anyone hiked in to use the day site, you might have to contend with close neighbors. Otherwise, a great spot with water access.
Scout$10 for clean drinking water they provide the the dump hoses. Always clean and well kept
Scout
This campground is a home away from home. It’s beautifully situated in the middle of the state. Ample boating, fishing swimming. The facilities are great and they have a good truck on site. We camp here at least twice a year.

Beautiful
ScoutThis is a campground as well as a place for people to join with a seasonal trailer. My family and I purchased a seasonal spot in 2020 and recently sold it. My hope is that by sharing my experience, I will save others from going in without a clear vision of Sandy Pines. Although the amenities and recreational choices are amazing, the management of this campground is some of the worst that I've ever experienced. There are SO many rules, however these rules are not consistently enforced leaving you often confused. Communication is lacking and you will not hear back when you reach out regarding permits, questions, or even when your trailer sells. Here are some examples of my experience: 1. My close friend hired a company(Bos Built) to put a deck on her trailer. The company entered the park 7 days in a row with multiple vehicles and built her deck without her present. On the 8th day this same company was going to come in to put vinyl plank in a room in my trailer. When I called to get them a guest pass to enter the park, I was told they wouldn't allow the company to enter without me being present. I explained my confusion by this and they were not willing to listen and in fact told me that I was wrong about my friend not being there(I was on vacation with her in North Carolina when they were building the deck). I reached out to the park president about the inconsistency and was given no resolution. 2. I joined the rules committee after my flooring experience to hopefully understand how the rules are developed and discussed. The handbook(rules, regulations, bylaws) is 79 pages long. There is not a chance that these rules will ever be less with the current board and committee. Every concern regarding a rule brought to the committee in my time serving was met with immediate resistance to any change. Reasoning always fell back on liability. Some examples of rules discussed- the contractors in the park without member present(liability, safety), a pontoon boat with a See-Doo switch engine(liability, way to dangerous), electric bikes/scooters/etc(need to add a rule to eliminate due to liability), lot clean up(SERIOUS discussion with zero tolerance for even a fist size amount of mildew due to it taking away neighbor's ability to be happy). There will be no change so be aware of rules before buying a seasonal lot. 3. While serving on the rules committee, we as committee members were asked to drive around on our golf carts and look for those that didn't clean up their lot and text/email security so they could write tickets. Yes. They wanted us to spend our time on vacation tattling on others. Everyone on the committee happily did this except me. 4. I got a site cleanup citation for having extra patio blocks stacked beside my deck($100 fine). I really was unaware of this being“trashy.” The patio blocks were there when I bought in 2020(it was not mentioned at closing/inspection) and I did not get cited in 2021 or 2022. This year I did. Inconsistency continues, as my neighbor across the street had patio blocks in the driveway. They did not receive a citation.They mail you a paper to your home address telling you that you have a citation, but it doesn't include a date. Like snail mail it. You have 2 weeks to clean it up or they fine you again.($200 and 2 points, 6 points gets your card access removed). While I called immediately upon receiving the citation in the mail to determine the date of citation, it had already been 2 weeks. 5. We knew it was time to go. We listed our trailer using Kent from sales to help us. On Thursday, July 27 I got a call from Kent with an offer. We did counter offer, but didn’t hear back from Kent. I assumed the potential buyer didn't take my counter. On Monday, July 31 I was at a public event downtown where we live. I was approached by a friend who told me my trailer sold(she knew someone who knew the buyer). Another person also approached me telling me it sold. Kent didn't tell me. I emailed him that night and he confirmed that yes it sold(offer accepted on Saturday, July 29 and money put down/contract signed the morning of July 31), he's just been busy. When I expressed the unprofessionalism of finding out through the grapevine, he accused me of just being emotional. I emailed the president, Jeff on August 1, but he didn't even respond. I emailed him again on August 14 and he responded without an apology but stating that Kent was extremely professional and did nothing wrong. Kent will receive 6% of my sale, even if he is not professional and doesn’t communicate the actual sale with me. I am not alone in my feelings. The facebook group for members is full of people sharing similar experiences to mine. Perhaps join that group if able before purchasing a seasonal lot.
GuideAbsolutely perfect weekend to stay at the park. As always, everyone was very pleasant. Very quiet and beautiful night!

We stayed 4 nights. The kids loved the playground. The boys enjoyed the basketball court. Bathrooms & showers were clean. The whole campground is well maintained, clean & peaceful. The staff was welcoming and friendly. They were very present and always out working on things. We'll definitely be back!
TravelerSmall lake with clean shallow beach, wooded sites, clean (but slightly dated) facilities led to fun times with grandkids. My site was a back in with not a lot of maneuvering room but even though some may feel these sites are small, we had plenty of space, very good water, and full hook up. I wish we had gravel verses dirt though, during the rain it gets a bit muddy . Would still visit here again if in the area. Very friendly staff and they had some weekend activities for the kids. Make sure you bring insect repellent!
GuideWalk-in site F was literally the perfect campsite. Fully secluded (except a few curious hikers who stopped in around lunchtime), easy 1 mile walk from parking lot, can kayak right up to it on the calm lake, hammock posts, picnic table, fire pit, gorgeous night sky views. A+ and 10/10
ScoutThis is a family campground and the quietest park I have ever stayed in. Rates and fees are all reasonable. Private lake with some lakeside campsites. Most sites shaded. Dirt and/or grass. Clean restrooms.
Daughter got her Yakima Skybox stuck and it would not open. The owner Paul was very accommodating and spent more than an hour helping her to get into the box.
There seem to be more rules than many other campgrounds. However, if you are reasonable and respectful of other campers you will have no issues.
Stayed three nights. Will return to camp again.
TravelerPark manager was AMAZING the seasonal campers there were so nice we stayed in their transient lots and our tmobile home wifi box worked FLAWLESSLY

We were on site 6, and there was plenty of space! We were able to park the camper with the door facing the river. It was great for fishing, and our dogs had a great time too. There isn’t a pool or designated swimming area, but having a spot on the river is great. You do have to pay $5 for shower use and $5 to use the dump station. They do have ice and firewood for sale there, but there isn’t a little store so you have to leave the campground and drive a few miles for that (so just do your best to remember everything!) If you’re looking for a quieter campground on a river, this is the place to be!
ScoutWe had a trip planned here for during the summer. Unfortunately, we were caught in the Arkansas 3.5 inch hail and wind storms. Our truck is severely damaged along with damage to the Camper. The truck has to go in for repairs which will take a while. I called to explain this. The lady that answered the phone was nice. I asked if management could make an exception and refund my payment. I was not canceling because I wanted, I was canceling because I would not be able to go due to the storm damage. Management repeated over and over the cancellation policy. I advised she lacked empathy. Again, she repeated"the cancellation rules". They kept half of my money...around$300.00 because I was canceling. The other parks I was scheduled for understood and gave 100% of my money back. This park is about the black-and-white contract with zero human touch or empathy. You will see other posts where they keep the money from others when the cancellation is beyond their control.
ScoutNice quiet small camp ground. Has lots for kids and families to do.

Came here for a father's day visit with my daughters last minute and was not disappointed. Beautiful view of the lake and functional facilities make this a pleasant stay for a small family.
GuideWe got site 36. We put our tent up on the hill tucked back up in the woods. Shade from the start!

I absolutely love oxbow my parents have a seasonal and so I’m often up there camping with them because it’s out happy place, we always have such an amazing time and the people there know how to party. It’s definitely not just a “lay around and relax” kind of place there is a lot of party goers. If you want a good time oxbows a good choice!
Scout
Quiet and safe campground. The staff is great, the campground has a transport service up river for tubing or canoeing.
Bathrooms and showers are clean.
Wish more of the sites were full hookups, but I am guessing it's because of distance to river.
Also, it has a nice location to walk into the river and fish. A fish cleaning station near the river would be nice.
