Best Cabin Camping near Richmond, MI
Cabin rentals within state recreation areas and private campgrounds provide overnight lodging options in the Richmond area. Port Huron KOA and Lakeport State Park Campground offer cabin accommodations with varying levels of amenities. Basic cabins typically include beds, electricity, and heating options for cooler months. "We stayed in one of the 'deluxe' cabins which are 1 bedroom cabins with a full bathroom and a sleeping loft. The layout of the cabin is great and it includes a screened in porch," notes one visitor to Lake Huron Campground. More rustic options may have concrete floors and minimal furnishings, while deluxe cabins often feature bathrooms, kitchenettes, and separate sleeping areas.
Rustic and deluxe cabins are both available, depending on the location. Addison Oaks County Park and Bald Mountain Recreation Area maintain rustic cabins that sleep 10-15 people, popular with hunters and scout troops. According to a reviewer, "They are rustic, so they don't have electricity or heat but there is a large wood burning stove." Most cabin sites require advance reservations, particularly during summer months from May through October when availability becomes limited. Pet policies vary by location, with some cabins designated as pet-friendly while others prohibit animals entirely. Pontiac Lake Recreation Area features three small cabins in its East campground area, which tends to be more open than the wooded West camping section.
Most cabins include beds but require visitors to bring their own linens, towels, and toiletries. Cooking facilities vary widely between properties - some offer only outdoor fire rings with grates, while others include microwaves, mini-refrigerators, or full kitchens in deluxe units. On-site camp stores at locations like Port Huron KOA and Groveland Oaks County Park stock firewood, ice, and basic provisions. Visitors should check specific cabin amenities before arrival, as one reviewer noted: "Wish I had seen a post regarding the mattresses before we went. I would have canceled... to find they would be sleeping on plywood." Cabins at Holly Recreation Area include fire rings and picnic tables, with modern bathrooms and shower facilities available in the campground.
