    Harrisville State Park Campground

    A great pet-friendly getaway

    We rented their pet-friendly cabin.  It consists of a single room, two bunk beds, a table mounted to the wall, two chairs, a mini fridge, a microwave, coffee pot, a wall heater and a wall-mounted fan.  Nothing fancy, but serviceable.  There's a site with a picnic table, grill, and fire pit, connected to the cabin, as well as a decent sized front porch.  Also nearby the dumping station, but this isn't as bad as it could be, at least during our midweek stays ((We've done two weekday stays.)  There's a patch of grass across the drive, where puppy potty bags are dispensed, for easy bathroom breaks with the dogs, and it is also close to the campground host site and firewood vending machine.  The firewood is really decent quality, and the machine accepts cards, which is nice, compared to other parks.  The bathrooms/showers are a short walk away, and are really a lot nicer than most state park facilities.  Several accessible/family restrooms are available, offering shower seats, benches, a dual height showerhead, sink, and toilet with grab bars, all in one lockable room.  Several campsites are one the waterfront.  As other's have mentioned, the beach is seeing some significant changes, due to historically high lake levels, which has forced several campsites to close, and the designated dog beach to be inaccessible.  They have alleviated this by shifting the pet-friendly beach area to the site of the closed campsites.  It is still an amazingly beautiful place to just sit in awe of the beauty of Lake Huron.  There is a two mile nature trail that winds through the outer part of the park, and it supplied a great hike with our dogs.  The park itself is within a reasonable walk to the local grocery store, utilizing a paved path that leads from the campground to the town.  We just love it there.  The only thing holding back from a five star is the beach area's struggles.  But that doesn't even feel fair, because there's little that humans can do at this point, to change that.

    Harrisville State Park Campground

    Was pretty nice for the price

    We stayed here on a Tuesday and Wednesday night. We were at site 96 right on the water. It was gorgeous and clean and there were lots of spaces. The bathroom wasn’t bad but the water was cold. The showers were nice and have a private toilet in them as well. The fire pits are nice and every site comes with an electric hookup. Tons and tons of paved hiking trails. Pet friendly. Best part was checkout was at 1pm instead of 10am. Felt like it was more a family campground though so probably won’t be revisiting myself. $30/night for a tent site and wood is available on site for $7/bundle. Wood comes from a “vending machine” so it’s always dry and ready to burn which came in handy durning the rain. I did also see an area for water and sewer dumping as well.

    Themed Weekends!

    I love going to the Halloween themed weekends with trick-or-treating at the campground. People decorate their sites, dress up, and hand out candy. Great campground filled with wonderful staff, a cute camp store, hiking and biking trails, wild berries, mini golf, a pool, and plenty of activities! Afforable, easy to find, and I’ll definitely be back.

    One of my favorite parts is the outdoor cartoon theater. You sit on logs, blankets or camp chairs if you're in the back and watch cartoons on the big screen. It reminds me of the drive-in movie theaters. Sometimes, if you're lucky, you'll even run into Yogi Bear himself!

    Tent, RV, Camper, Cabins and Cottage sites/rentals are available with bathrooms, showers, and a dump station.

    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.

    Very nice grounds and amenities

    Paved roads good for bike riding. Nice and level site. Well maintained grounds, with a fire pit and picnic table. State park, so no WiFi. AT&T is 1 bar. Restroom and showers are updated and clean.

    Perfect family campground

    This campground has very nice amenities for families. There is a pool, outdoor movies, horseshoes, inflatable blob (kids love the blob), putt putt, sand box, small bikes to rent and a nice store and lodge on site.

    We actually stayed here in a cabin to celebrate our anniversary. It is a nice campground with well spaced out sites. I would recommend the single room cabins, they are affordable and have a cute front porch - the bed was even comfortable.

    Tawas Point State Park Campground

    Beautiful State Park

    The park is very clean. Some sites are small, some are larger. Have visited many times. Fun interpretive programs for adults and kids. Beautiful beach to spend the day on. Located close to town. Lots of areas to walk as well. Not pet friendly though, they are allowed at the sites, but not on the beach.


Guide to Luzerne

Cabin camping near Luzerne, Michigan offers visitors direct access to the Au Sable River watershed and the Huron National Forest. This north-central Michigan region sits at approximately 1,100 feet elevation, creating cooler summer nights than surrounding lowland areas. Rustic and modern cabin options span across multiple recreation areas within a 30-mile radius of Luzerne, with peak booking periods from June through September.

What to do

Paddle the Au Sable River: The river provides excellent kayaking and canoeing opportunities with multiple put-in locations. At Oscoda County Park, you'll find access to calm waters perfect for beginners. "I love the Oscoda Koa campground... Such a laid back place..and I love the Au Sable River," notes Aaron H.

Explore hiking trails: The area features extensive trail networks through mixed pine and hardwood forests. Rifle River Recreation Area offers "Lots of hiking opportunities. Both modern and rustic camping available," according to David F. The recreation area contains five distinct lakes and numerous marked trails.

Winter activities: Unlike coastal Michigan areas, cabins around Luzerne maintain year-round operation. Snowshoeing and cross-country skiing trails are accessible from many cabin sites, particularly at Hartwick Pines State Park. Trails range from 0.5-mile loops to 4-mile networked systems.

What campers like

Lake access: The region features several crystal-clear lakes with sandy bottoms. At South Higgins Lake State Park, Christina M. notes, "The lake is extremely clear and very large, there are 2 sandbar areas which are very popular providing 3-4 feet water to hangout in." Most cabin locations are within walking distance of water access points.

Spacious sites: Cabin sites typically include more outdoor space than tent camping areas. "The sites are HUGE and there are some trees," reports a camper about Alcona Park. Most cabin sites include a dedicated fire ring, picnic table, and parking for up to two vehicles.

Wildlife viewing: The forests around Luzerne support diverse animal populations. At Grousehaven Campground, "The lake is absolutely gorgeous and is paddle only, no motors of any kind. The water was warmish and crystal clear," reports Dennis B., highlighting the undisturbed nature that attracts local wildlife.

What you should know

Reservation requirements: Many cabin locations require advance booking, especially during summer months. For Alcona Park, one camper notes: "You can make reservations for the campground starting April 1st via telephone; however they do not answer the phone as they are busy helping the seasonal campers get their sites. I do not get through until about three or four days after April 1st."

Limited cell service: Most cabin areas have restricted connectivity. At North Higgins Lake State Park, Amy D. warns: "Don't expect to make phone calls, the cell service (AT&T) was very spotty." Some cabin locations offer WiFi at central buildings, but not at individual sites.

Variable bathroom facilities: Bathroom accessibility differs between locations. Gordon B. explains that at Oscoda County Park, "Shows require tokens if you wish to use them," while other locations maintain 24-hour access to shower facilities.

Tips for camping with families

Kid-friendly activities: Several cabin locations offer dedicated recreational spaces for children. At Jellystone Park & Resort, "There is a pool, outdoor movies, horseshoes, inflatable blob (kids love the blob), putt putt, sand box, small bikes to rent and a nice store and lodge on site," reports Brittny B.

Beach selection: Different lake access points offer varying experiences for families with young children. South Higgins Lake State Park features "clean beaches" where "the water is great for kids to play in safely while the parents chill at the shore," according to Kristi B.

Noise considerations: Family-friendly locations vary in their noise patterns. One visitor noted that at Alcona Park, "it can get a little loud at nite, after 10pm 'quite time' but nothing really serious." Booking sites farther from central facilities can provide quieter evening environments.

Tips from RVers

Electricity variations: Power hookups differ significantly between cabin locations. Gordon B. notes that Oscoda County Park has "50 or 20 amp power, so you will need a 15 or 50 adapter to use 30 amp service. No water at camp sites, but they have a water fill station."

Site selection: When booking cabins, specific site numbers matter for privacy and convenience. Christie L. from North Higgins Lake State Park recommends: "If we stayed again - we'd pick site 101. Little more privacy than the rest. We stayed at 137 which backed up to the woods which was lovely."

Seasonal considerations: Off-season cabin camping offers different advantages. Greg S. reports about Jellystone Park: "With it being early season, the campground was fairly empty and quiet which was nice. Bugs weren't awful which is always a plus!"
