Cabin accommodations in the Holland, Michigan area range from basic to resort-style with varying amenities and pricing. Most Holland cabin rentals sit within 30 minutes of Lake Michigan, offering access to both inland lakes and Great Lakes shorelines. The region features hardwood forests and dune ecosystems, with many cabins situated at campgrounds that provide both privacy and recreational opportunities.
What to do
Lake activities: 10 minutes from shore. Visitors staying at Oak Grove Resort & Campground can easily access Lake Michigan via a short bike ride. "We had a short bike ride to Lake Michigan. There are places to eat along the way and a well sweet little general store. It is next to an 11 mile bike/walking trail," notes a camper.
Dune hiking: Access from multiple locations. The trails near Hoffmaster State Park Campground offer exceptional dune exploration. "Trails to dunes, beach, and other parks as well as dune preserve: all well-marked and vary in difficulty, weaving through pine and hardwood forests nestled among dunes," one visitor explains. The park contains over ten miles of trails across its 1,200 acres.
Coffee and farm experiences: Seasonal options. For those seeking a quieter experience, Art Farm Fennville offers a unique combination of outdoor accommodations and artisan coffee. "Beans are fair trade and roasted on site. Fireflies and Starry Evenings," shares a reviewer who appreciated the on-site coffee experience.
What campers like
Clean, modern facilities: Many cabins near Holland feature recently updated amenities. At Kal-Haven Outpost, visitors appreciate "the nicest bathrooms and showers I have ever seen at a campground." Another camper mentions, "They provide linens and have basic supplies (including firewood that they will deliver to your cabin) right at the general store."
Family-friendly atmosphere: Cabins at TriPonds Family Camp Resort receive praise for their accessibility and surroundings. "Nice smaller sized family friendly campground. Enjoyed having activities to do, the jump pillow and pool!" notes one visitor. Another camper shares, "We've been going annually for 7 years. The owners/hosts are wonderful. They keep the place clean and looking beautiful."
Inclusive camping options: For diverse groups, Campit Outdoor Resort Saugatuck provides a welcoming environment. "Campit is one of the few campgrounds that caters to the entire LGBTQ community and those who support it. The amenities feel grounded not over the top…a nice pool, unique 'neighborhoods' to roam and chat up new neighbors and friends," explains one camper.
What you should know
Reservation timelines: The popularity of cabins means planning ahead is essential. A ranger at Hoffmaster State Park advised that "it is best to book months ahead for weekends because they fill up at the beginning of summer; however, cancellations are not uncommon, so watch the DNR site for openings. Weekdays usually have availability, especially the first half of the summer."
Seasonal availability: Many facilities operate on limited schedules. Art Farm Fennville offers year-round cabins but with varying amenities by season. Hidden Ridge RV Resort operates from April 1 to October 30, with peak facilities available during summer months.
Alcohol policies: Rules vary significantly between locations. Oak Grove Resort prohibits alcohol, while most other campgrounds permit it. "This is a family resort and it is drug and alcohol free. It has a beautiful pool and hot tub," explains a visitor about Oak Grove's policy.
Tips for camping with families
Activity planning: Schedule around peak times. Families staying at Hungry Horse Campground benefit from organized programming. "They also typically offer planned activities throughout the week such as wagon rides, meet and greets, and ice cream socials," shares a parent who visited with young children.
Site selection: Consider noise levels. Campgrounds with cabins vary in layout and privacy. "We couldn't fit our trailer into the site we reserved. They were very understanding and found us a pull thru site to use," notes a family who stayed at Hungry Horse Campground with children.
Age-appropriate amenities: Different cabin locations offer varying activities by age group. "We have two young girls and they had plenty to do all week during our stay. Multiple playgrounds, toddler pool and regular pool, jump pad, and lots of room to run around," reports a family who appreciated the facilities.
Tips from RVers
Supply runs: Limited nearby services. When staying at Hidden Ridge RV Resort, campers should stock up before arrival. "There isn't much close to the campground at all. Like the closest gas station is 15 miles. Not really any fast food restaurants either," advises an RVer.
Dump station timing: State parks can have limited facilities with peak usage times. At Hoffmaster State Park, "I did notice the backup of campers at the two campground dump stations Sunday before 1pm checkout," reports one visitor who recommended planning accordingly.
Site features: Many cabin locations also accommodate RVs with varying hookups. "All sites include a concrete pad, fire ring and full hook-up. 120/150 amp," reports a visitor about Hidden Ridge RV Resort, noting the quality of the facilities for larger vehicles.
