Best Glamping near Hubbard Lake, MI

Old Orchard Park Campground houses canvas glamping accommodations and yurts within a serene riverside setting along the AuSable River in Oscoda, just 25 miles from Hubbard Lake. Tawas Point State Park Campground in East Tawas also offers elevated glamping experiences with climate-controlled yurts featuring comfortable beds, electricity, and picnic tables. Both locations provide fire rings, drinking water, and access to modern shower facilities, making these eco-friendly glamping options ideal for those seeking nature without sacrificing comfort. The canvas structures at Old Orchard are positioned for maximum privacy among wooded sites, while Tawas Point's yurts offer the unique opportunity to experience Lake Huron's shoreline with added comfort. "Beautiful wooded sights. Fishing, boat ramp, beach, wagon rides, hearts, cabins great place," one guest shared about their glamping experience at Old Orchard.

Water activities dominate the glamping experience in this region, with Old Orchard Park situated directly on the scenic AuSable River, perfect for kayaking adventures and fishing. Grousehaven Campground in the Rifle River Recreation Area features a crystal-clear lake that's "paddle only, no motors of any kind," making it ideal for peaceful paddleboarding or kayaking from your glamping accommodation. Hiking trails connect directly to some glamping sites, allowing immediate access to nature exploration. The area surrounding these glamping destinations includes attractions like Lumberman's Monument, Iargo Springs, and Champagne Hill where visitors enjoy sand dune slides. Winter glamping offers a completely different experience, with one reviewer noting, "A friend snowmobile camps here in winter, that'd be beautiful to try." Booking requirements vary by location, with some sites reservable online while others operate on a first-come basis, particularly during peak summer months.

Tawas Point State Park Campground
Nice but busy
It is very nice and extremely clean. However it is kind of cramped. Sites feel close and everyone was very nosey. Pet beach is nice. Water is beautiful. Convenient location. People didn't listen to rules such as quiet hour and let their badly behaved dogs run loose. Bath house is extremely nice! All in all, I would camp here on an off day/season.

Devoe Lake Rustic Campround — Rifle River Recreation Area
Spacious, Quiet, Relaxing
We were greeted at the gate by an extremely helpful and knowledgeable gentleman. He provided good directions, and helped us with our Rec Pass.

The site was easy to find, spacious, and had adequate distancing from other campers. It included a fire pit and picnic table too.

The lake was serene in the early mornings and evenings. Listen for the woeful call of the loons. What a treat!

Word of caution, the raccoons start partying as soon as you bed down. Make sure your food and trash is adequately covered/contained.

Campground has vault toilets. We never used them but good to know they have them.

Unplug and recharge yourself. Electric hook up availability 20/30 amp . Hiking and biking paths , a cute play ground , sandy beach with volleyball area all walking distance from campsites! Friendly staff , we love this park !

This place is gorgeous. Owners have done a great job with the property. Pine trees left intact. It’s sits on the Au Gres River trail to the river with seating, picnic table and fire pit. The grounds are immaculate. Very peaceful setting.

Jewell Lake Campground
Beautiful, quiet, peaceful.
Relatively quiet and secluded, Jewell Lake campground resides in the Huron-manistee National Forest. Our campsite was great with plenty of room to house three tents as well as a fire pit and picnic table. There is access to Jewell Lake from the campground where there is a small beach, dock, and boat launch. Beware, there are no park rangers on duty 24/7 at the campground or a camp store, however Barton city is only a few minutes away where they have a quaint general store.

Tawas Point State Park Campground
Nice place on the bay
We went on a family trip to the Tawas Pointe State Park. It is an important stopping point for the migratory pattern of warblers in the spring, and has a very nice nature walk. The nature walk leads out to the lighthouse by the bay, and comes up to the beach. The camp grounds have electrical and water access for RVs and campers, but people also camp out in their tents, and everything in between. There is a small playground that my daughter enjoyed, and a paved pathway through the grounds to Rollerblade/bike on. Most sites come with a fire pit. There is also a large dumpster near the entrance for waster disposal.

Tawas Point State Park Campground
Great summer camping
Tawas Bay is an awesome area to visit in the summer, and this state park is about the best camping you can get in the area. We stayed on site 70, and while it was crowded, we didn’t mind. We were close by to the boat launch, and just a short walk to the bathroom; not too far and not too close either. The bathrooms were clean, stocked, and had hot water for the showers whenever we needed it. On the opposite side of the bathroom, there’s even a full dishwashing sink, something I have yet to see at another campground. The ranger station has firewood and ice for sale, as well as maps and activity lists. As far as things to do at the campground, there are plenty of trails, including one leading to the lighthouse at the end of the point, as well as kayaks for rent at the boat launch. One thing I have to recommend it waking up early to catch the sunrise over Lake Huron. It is amazing! If you’re more of a night owl, sunsets are equally as great looking over the bay.

Locally there are tons of places to eat and things to do. Catch a sailboat race through the bay, head to any of the many beaches, or even walk through the small downtown. If you have a sweet tooth like me, there’s a super good chocolate shop called the Village Chocolatier, and an amazing place for ice cream called Marion’s. Totally recommend visiting Tawas, and staying at Tawas Point State Park!

Tawas Point State Park Campground
Great campground
Our family loves this campground- it has a nice playground, and beach volleyball court near the entrance. There’s a nice sandy beach that faces Tawas Bay in the campground, the public beach on Lake Huron has rougher water and more rocks. there’s even a separate dog friendly beach. They have been replacing some of the old fire pits.
