Best Glamping near Ottawa National Forest
Porcupine Mountains Wilderness State Park and Sylvania Wilderness Area house some of the most distinctive glamping accommodations in Michigan's western Upper Peninsula. Luxury yurts at Presque Isle in the Porcupine Mountains offer comfort amid natural surroundings with electricity, comfortable beds, and private decks overlooking Lake Superior. The Sylvania Wilderness area provides safari-style canvas tent glamping with proximity to pristine lakes and old-growth forests. According to a camper, "The moss-covered old growth forest provided an excellent site and entertained our boys until they tired." These glamping options feature picnic tables, fire rings, and access to toilet facilities while maintaining a wilderness experience that distinguishes them from standard camping.
Bond Falls Flowage and Porcupine Mountains backcountry areas provide unique glamping experiences with sites directly on waterways. Glampers can enjoy fishing, kayaking, and hiking without sacrificing comfort. The Bond Falls sites offer proximity to spectacular waterfall views with accessible boardwalks. One visitor noted, "The sites are free for up to a total of 14 days which is really nice. Each site has a fire pit and a picnic table." Multiple hiking trails connect these glamping locations to scenic overlooks, with some routes suitable for all ability levels. Lake Gogebic is nearby for additional water recreation opportunities, though guests should be prepared for seasonal mosquitoes when booking from late spring through summer. Winter glamping is available at some locations, offering a completely different wilderness experience with opportunities for snowshoeing and cross-country skiing.
