Best Glamping near Elmira, MI

Petoskey KOA and Gaylord KOA house upscale glamping accommodations in Michigan's northern region, with both locations offering yurts and deluxe canvas tent options. The Petoskey location features safari-style glamping tents with comfortable queen beds, electricity, and climate control systems for year-round comfort. One guest shared, "Our site came with a concrete patio with a round table with four chairs, two Adirondack chairs and a fire pit and a charcoal box grill," highlighting the blend of outdoor experience with home comforts. Chandler Hill Campground in Boyne Falls also provides luxury yurts equipped with private bathrooms, kitchenettes, and furnished outdoor spaces overlooking the surrounding woodlands.

The Little Traverse Wheelway bike path runs directly through Magnus Park, connecting glamping guests to 23.5 miles of scenic trails stretching from Harbor Springs to Charlevoix. A visitor noted, "The bike path to Petoskey State Park is right in front of the campground and takes you by the harbor and can branch off into town too." Leelanau State Park's glamping sites sit feet away from Lake Michigan, offering direct shoreline access and stunning sunset views over the water. Seasonal activities include guided stargazing events during summer months, paddleboard rentals at Burt Lake State Park, and winter cross-country skiing at Young State Park. Most glamping accommodations remain open from May through October, though some premium safari tents and yurts at Petoskey KOA feature heating systems allowing for early spring and late fall bookings. Proximity to Mackinac Island ferries makes these glamping options ideal for travelers looking to combine luxury camping with day trips to northern Michigan's most popular attractions.
