Best Cabin Camping near Mount Clemens, MI

Several cabin camping options exist within an hour's drive of Mount Clemens, Michigan, offering various comfort levels from rustic to modern. Addison Oaks County Park provides cabins with electricity and wood-burning stoves but no running water, suitable for groups of 10-15 people. Bald Mountain Recreation Area offers year-round rustic cabins popular with hunters and scout troops, featuring wood-burning stoves but no electricity. Oakland County parks maintain clean, well-maintained cabin facilities with nearby hiking trails and recreational amenities. "The cabins sleep about 10-15 people if I remember correctly. They are rustic, so they don't have electricity or heat but there is a large wood burning stove," noted one visitor about Bald Mountain's accommodations.

Cabin styles vary from primitive structures to more comfortable options with modest amenities. KOA campgrounds in Emmett and Port Huron offer furnished cabin rentals with electricity, making them suitable for families seeking a camping experience with basic comforts. Pontiac Lake Recreation Area and Proud Lake Recreation Area provide state park cabins available year-round. Most locations require advance reservations, especially during summer months from May through October. Pet policies differ by location, with most KOA cabins allowing pets for an additional fee, while state park cabins have stricter limitations. According to one camper, "We love coming to Addison Oaks. It is a quick drive from home but a great little get away spot."

Most cabins include basic furnishings but require visitors to bring their own bedding, pillows, towels and cooking supplies. Kitchen facilities range from none in rustic cabins to basic countertops and refrigerators in more developed units. Firewood is available for purchase at most locations, with wood-burning stoves or outdoor fire rings common for cooking and heating. While primitive cabins have no running water, developed cabins typically provide access to nearby shower houses and restroom facilities. Campers should plan to bring drinking water for rustic cabins, and all locations recommend bringing flashlights, extra batteries, and appropriate seasonal clothing.

    Quiet, well kept state park

    Just a quick overnight tent camp with my son. Tent sites are relatively well spaced out and clean. Fire rings and picnic tables at each site.

    Holly State Rec

    Pretty park with several well marked trails. We stayed in the Maple loop which had several semi-private sites screened from neighbors by trees. I think site #1 was one of the roomiest and prettiest. The bathrooms were clean. There were several playgrounds, bench swings, play fields and even a basketball court. The ADA sites had pavement surrounding the fire rings and space at the picnic tables for a wheel chair.

    Bald Mountain Recreation Area

    Amazing place to hike but campground not included.

    I absolutely adore Bald Mountain Recreation area! The trails are well maintained and well marked. There is also tons of clean, easy to access lakes within the park too. Perfect for kayaking, paddle boarding, or fishing. Unfortunately there is not a camping area within the recreation area. There is however two rustic cabins that are available for rental year round. They are popular with hunters and scout troops. The cabins sleep about 10-15 people if remember correctly. They are rustic, so they don’t have electricity or heat but there is a large wood burning stove.

    Seven Lakes State Park Campground

    Fab beach

    This is a fabulous campground! There are over 20 sites, about half of which are located lake side (not directly on the lake, but there are little paths that lead you there and you can somewhat see the water from these sites.) There is a boat launch on one end of campground and the amazing beach on the other. The water is clear and warm (perfect lake for swimming) and there is both sand and grassy areas on the fairly large beach. The beach also offers picnic tables and benches. The only negative aspect I can see about this campground is that the sites are right on top of each other, so if you have a loud group or a generator next to you, it is noisy. But most campgrounds have sites set real close together, so you will find this pretty much everywhere. Def camp here! About an hours drive from a Pictured Rocks National Park. There are no showers or running water. Camp hosts were very nice, helpful, & welcoming.

    Pontiac Lake Recreation Area

    Quick get away

    Wonderful place for a quick get away. Park is clean. Beach is a 1.8 mile hike from the East loop in the campground but is well worth the walk. (Trail is not stroller/wagon friendly) If you are hoping to hook up to electrical, bring extension cords; some hook ups are exceptionally far away from the designated RV parking pad. Extensive mountain biking trails and the lake is open to boating, kayaking, and other water sports. Park offers lots of private sites! We stayed in site 118 and could not see neighboring sites! The site was very spacious and offered picnic table, fire ring, paved pad, and electrical hook up. (hook up in this specific site was considerably far away.)

    Groveland Oaks County Park

    SOOO much to do and what a beautiful place

    We came here two years ago. My husband suggested the place because his family used to come here when he was a kid. There were many activities for everyone to do, especially for the kids. I don’t believe the cabins are pet friendly though. It’s probably the only reason we haven’t been back. We’ll definitely go back when we have a camper.
