Best Cabin Camping near Three Oaks, MI

Several campgrounds within 30 miles of Three Oaks, Michigan provide furnished cabin rentals with varying amenities. Warren Dunes State Park Campground features rustic cabins with electricity, bunk beds, and small tables, allowing for device charging and basic indoor comfort. Potato Creek State Park offers larger cabins with clean bathrooms and screened porches, though campers should note that cabins share a communal fire pit. Michigan City Campground provides cabin-style mini homes with modern conveniences in a gated facility. According to one visitor at Tippecanoe River State Park, "The cabins are small but perfectly fine for our group with two bunk beds, a small loft, and a small table inside. They have electricity so charging phones and devices is not a problem."

Rustic and deluxe cabin options accommodate different group sizes and comfort preferences. Kal-Haven Outpost cabins include three queen beds and a sofa sleeper, comfortably housing up to eight people, with linens provided and firewood delivery available. Pet-friendly cabins can be found at several locations including Warren Dunes State Park and Thousand Trails Bear Cave, which operates from May through October. Most cabins require advance reservations, particularly during summer months when availability becomes limited. One reviewer noted about Potato Creek State Park: "The cabins are large, bathroom was very clean, large screened in porch." Winter cabin options are more limited, though some facilities like Michigan City Campground and Shamrock Park remain open year-round.

Most cabin rentals provide beds with mattresses but require guests to bring their own linens, pillows, and towels unless otherwise specified. Kitchen facilities vary significantly between locations, from basic electrical outlets for small appliances to no cooking facilities at all. Outdoor cooking typically relies on fire pits or grills, with firewood available for purchase at most campgrounds. Camp stores at Warren Dunes and other locations stock essential supplies, though prices may be higher than at grocery stores in nearby towns. Visitors staying multiple nights should consider bringing coolers with pre-prepared meals or plan to visit local restaurants, as refrigeration is limited in most cabin accommodations.

    Tippecanoe River State Park Campground

    Very good state park and cabin campground

    We visited this park twice (once in Sept 2020 and again in June 2021).  Both times we stayed in the cabin campground and both times had very good experiences.  Each time we went mid-week so there was hardly anyone else there, and that was great.  The cabins are small but perfectly fine for our group with two bunk beds, a small loft, and a small table inside.  They have electricity so charging phones and devices is not a problem.   Cabins 4 and 5 are up this small driveway and are slightly separated and I would recommend those if you can.  We never had to go to "town" so not sure how far it is to any stores.

    Each time we rented a canoe and did a paddle/float trip on the river that ended at the canoe rental location.  Would not hesitate to stay here again.

    Kal-Haven Outpost

    Great place to bike to, spacious cabins, amazing staff

    A group of us bike from Kalamazoo to South Haven every year using the Kal-Haven trail. We usually tent camp but tried a cabin here this year. It was the perfect option as the campground is right off the trail. They provide linens and have basic supplies (including firewood that they will deliver to your cabin) right at the general store. We also met a group that had hiked in to the primative sites and were using the trail to train for the Appalachian Trail. Everything is well-made and maintained, and the staff is friendly and helpful (they even let us check-in early when we biked in ahead of schedule). Highly recommend for those looking for a place close to the trail and to South Haven. The cabins have three queen beds and a sofa sleeper so they can comfortably hold up to eight people (we had five in our group and I never felt crowded). There's a large table inside and two chairs on the porch. There's also a large picnic table outside, a fire pit, and a grill. They are hoping to expand and add cabins sized for couples in the near future.

    Thousand Trails Bear Cave

    Great Campground

    This is a nice, family friendly campground. Lots of very friendly other campers, a heated pool, playground for the kids, nice size lots with fire pits, picnic tables, electric& water (including at tent sites). Pool has an ADA lift chair. 2 shower/bath houses, camp store, a real bear cave you can tour in (free), a creek that meanders through it. The resort sits on the St. Joseph river & this park has a boat ramp & dock for fishing. There is a gate that campers need a code to get into so it keeps out unwanted’s. Nice staff. Yolanda is a great manager. Security, a ‘honey wagon’. Laundry center. Quiet hours are 10p-8a. It’s near Buchanan Michigan and the RED BUD Motor Cross track. Very friendly people, always stopping and talking.

    Yogi Bear's Jellystone Park Camp Resort-South Haven, MI

    This is my top pick for South Haven

    Although this campground has great amenities, a pool, clean showers, and good sites/cabins, it is hard to book. If you know you are going to come to this area and camp, you need to book it a while in advance. I have used a pop-up and there was good space between campers. When I tent camped, we had a great spot near the cafe, the showers are amazing over there, they are more secluded. Our tent spot had electric, water, picnic table and fire ring. We camped on the grass and there is gravel to park your car. This campground is a perfect place to stay when visiting surrounding towns and going to the beach.

    Don’t forget to go to Sherman’s!!

    There was a forecast or rain, don’t mind the tarp

    Michigan City Campground

    Great campground, will return

    This is a beautifully kept campground just outside Michigan City, IN. It is gated so will need to call in once you arrive to enter. We stayed  in the premium sites which were 90ft pull thought with 50A service, water and sewer, and the best wifi I have seen at a campsite. The cement patio was large with a picnic table and an adjacent fire pit. There is swimming pool and a game room, and a small store with the essentials, and propane.

    You are close to Indiana Dunes and the downtown area of Michigan city. Good food, shops are close by. 

    By the way there are a number of cabins/mini homes to rent.

    Weko Beach Campground

    Great little campground

    Couple minute walk to the beautiful Lake Michigan beach. Waist deep most areas, waves can get big tho. The campgrounds beach is NOT pet friendly, but there is a flat boardwalk that takes you to a pet friendly area of beach of neighboring Warren dunes state park. Clean easy to locate water/trash/office areas. Friendly staff. They check the loops frequently and keep things tidy. Sandy but drivable roads(be careful in a washout). Flat nice sized lots. Clean bathroom/shower house! (Males and females share showers, could be concerning during busy season). Peaceful and quiet. Loved everything about our trip. (Be warned the camping lots are sand too, you will have sand everywhere! But its worth it!)

    Tippecanoe River State Park Campground

    Clean and quiet

    Although we would normally wait until the last minute to book a site, we booked early this time, and were glad that we did. All tent sites were reserved a week before our trip, so best to plan ahead. We chose sites 4, 5, and 6 to accommodate our group of 7. Each site had morning shade only, and the shade from the forest to the east of the sites closed in around 5 p.m. This campsite allows up to 2 tents per site, but it was nice to spread out a bit. We chose the sites that we did expecting to have a view of the river, but the maps are misleading– there is no river view, although it’s only a few feet to the river. It’s probably for the best though, since there is a boat ramp that runs through the campground that gets plenty of use. Despite the fact that we had a fair amount of rain during our trip, our sites never got muddy, because the soil is very sandy. An annoyance when your feet are constantly dirty, but great when it’s a stormy weekend. The sites were a good size, complete with fire pit, grill grate, and picnic table, and the entire campground was well maintained. The pit toilets were cleaned daily and were always well stocked. The showers were also clean, HOWEVER, as a tent camper, you’re not allowed to use the showers.(?!!) I mean, really, what are we? Heathens? We were chased away until we removed the blue placard given at check-in. The Park has a lot of hiking trails, and other activities. The town of Winamac was pretty small, but there are canoe, kayak, and pontoon rentals nearby. We also saw a paintball court close by. Firewood($6/bundle) and ice($2/bag) are available at the park gate. There is a private, certified, gentleman selling dry, well-seasoned firewood about a mile or two north of the park on US 35, east side of the road. He charges$20 for more than 10 times the amount of wood provided by the park.

    Eden Springs Park Campground

    Pleasant, friendly, small town camp with large pull through spots

    Eden Springs Campground & RV Park in Benton Harbor, Michigan, run by camp manager Cindy, may well be one of our favorite small town parks! We are spending the month of August 2018 here and have found the venue quiet, well maintained, friendly and inexpensive ($375 for a month). I do not expect the prices to stay this low now that it has been “discovered”. They are working on adding an updated restroom, dog park and other facilities. The sites are large, level and spaced far apart from each other. We pulled in with a 42’ rig, pulling a 28’ hybrid trailer (total 70’) and easily pulled into our site without having to unhook. We had enough space to park a jeep in front of and and in back of the attached rig. The sites are designed so that no camper or RV faces a sewer connection. All of the hook ups are centrally located between two sites, with each rig having their driver side towards the hookups and their awning/entry sides facing the opposing side. Each site has a gravel space between them that could be traveled through, though campers all set up picnic tables, chairs and campfires there so practically there is no egress, thus privacy. This camp has the best WiFi of any camp we have ever stayed at. Some spots offer OTA TV and satellite reception. Ours did not as we chose to have a full tree canopy. Most of the sites offer Full Hookups with 30/50 amp service. The camp manager, Cindy, provides fire rings and picnic tables as requested, so, if you need either, just let her know when you call. The tables were clean and in good shape. The fire rings can be placed anywhere you want. As an aside, when a camper leaves, Cindy and her crew comes and removes the rings, cleaning up the residue so there is no mess left! The campground grass is cut routinely and “weed-whacked” as needed. Cindy has been one of the nicest hosts we have met on our travels. She is always pleasant, available as needed for emergencies and even delivered our mail one afternoon. She is a font of knowledge about the area and willing to share. Probably in keeping with her personality, the majority of the visitors here have been friendly, chatty and willing to help each other. The RV resort is about 10 minutes from St. Joseph, MI and multiple rural wineries in the area (a favorite pastime for my wife Audrey). St. Joseph’s is a small town located on Lake Michigan with excellent food, event venues and a lovely white sand beach. Be sure to stop at the Chocolate store in town & Silver Lake Pizza for a desert/dinner well worth the time. The town of Benton Harbor itself once was booming city/community, which has come into hard times, but we did not have any problems traveling around that area. This area also has a non-defunct amusement park attached to the campground which is being slowly renovated by a group of volunteers. They have restored several of the buildings, a fountain and a miniature train which takes visitors on a 1/4 mile ride on Saturday/Sunday. Additionally, the camp is home to it’s own 1800’s era baseball team which plays home and away games in the old bare handed style! Behind the camp is a now mostly abandoned religious enclave called the House of David which was started in the late 1800’s/ early 1900’s (Google it!). Some interesting architecture and several restored mansions for the 5 remaining members of the group. I recommend this park for someone wanting a quiet, clean stay.

    Warren Dunes State Park Campground

    Amazing beach, family friendly campground

    All Inclusive! If you love a campground 3 minutes from Lake Michigan with plenty of amenities, this is your place. The Mount Randall campground has 2 loops with all electric sites. The first loop on your left provides more privacy with pull in type shandy, sites. There are 2 or 3 small rustic cabins as well. The loop to the right, has more open sites that sit flat to the road. We camped here. Our 2 sites did not provide trees for hammocks or even a good laundry line. Both loops have a central bath house with individual showers opening off the central breezeway. There is a camp store with wood ice, snacks, fun stuff and things you forgot or never knew you needed! We visited during the pandemic and only 2 water pumps were available, but worked fine. There is a primitive/rustic campground as well and we may like that better as we prefer privacy and quiet over convenience.

    The beach is a good one. There are 3 parking lots and plenty of sandy beach. You can climb the dunes and hike the dune trails, rent kayaks, or grab food from the concession area. There were also food trucks there when we visited.

    Overall, a great choice for summer fun with the kids and I would think pretty gorgeous come fall too.


Guide to Three Oaks

Cabins near Three Oaks, Michigan offer convenient shelter while exploring southwest Michigan's rolling landscape, where forest areas meet Lake Michigan dunes. Seasonal temperature fluctuations impact cabin availability, with summer cabin rentals booking months in advance at popular locations like Warren Dunes. Most rental cabins sit within 30 miles of Three Oaks, making them accessible base camps.

What to do

Beach activities: Walk 5-10 minutes from Warren Dunes State Park Campground to reach expansive shoreline areas. "Huge, beautiful dunes on the beach," notes Peter C., who adds that "you can hike or about a 5 to 10 minute drive to the beach" depending on which cabin area you select.

Waterfront relaxation: Reserve early for lakeside accommodations at Weko Beach Campground, which features cabin options with beach proximity. "I stayed in a cabin here that was cozy and comfortable. Loved that the small store and bathrooms were close and that it was a smaller campground," mentions Christina H.

Exploring river systems: Book waterfront sites for fishing access along the St. Joseph River at Shamrock Park. Dedicated anglers appreciate specialized facilities. "What impressed me most was that they have a building specifically for cleaning fish, with scales, cutting boards and sinks," notes Brian O., highlighting amenities not found at most cabin-focused properties.

What campers like

Private beach access: Some waterfront options at Fuller's Resort and Campground provide secluded lakefront spots. "The site was stunning. We had no idea we would have our own private site and beach, I wish we could've stayed a month," explains Jamie B., though she warns "the black flies were awful on the beach."

Seasonal entertainment: Summer cabin stays include access to organized activities at various campgrounds. "Karaoke every Saturday in the barn is fun for everyone," notes a visitor to Fullers Resort, while Weko Beach Campground offers "live music concerts out on the beach" during summer months according to Kelsey G.

Secure environments: Gated facilities like Michigan City Campground provide peace of mind. "Love the secure entrance and key card access. Pool and bathrooms were clean," reports Beth B., a feature particularly valued by families with children staying in cabin accommodations.

What you should know

Seasonal limitations: Check opening dates as operating schedules vary significantly between properties. Weko Beach operates "May to mid-October," while some cabins at Thousand Trails Bear Cave maintain similar seasonal restrictions. "It's a very nice off the grid camping with no cell service but if you want wifi then its 5.95 per day," notes jack, an important consideration for remote work needs.

Distance considerations: Plan driving time between cabin locations and attractions. Potato Creek State Park accommodations require planning for location logistics. "Takes 10-15 mins to drive out of campground, so keep this in mind," advises Frank M.

Connectivity challenges: Bring offline entertainment for cabins in more remote settings. "No internet, no cell service," reports Dawn T. about Bear Cave RV Campground, making it essential to download maps, music, or entertainment before arrival.

Tips for camping with families

Multiple playgrounds: Choose campgrounds with dedicated children's areas when booking cabins for family stays. "There are multiple playgrounds for the kiddos. Great paths for walking or biking," notes Traci J. about Warren Dunes State Park Campground, offering entertainment options beyond cabin interiors.

Swimming options: Verify water conditions before promising beach time to children. "A food and sundries shop is on premise. SUP and kayak rentals are also on the beach," explains Kelsey G. about Weko Beach amenities, providing alternatives when lake swimming isn't ideal.

Indoor entertainment: Pack games for cabin evenings, especially during shoulder seasons. "Great clubhouse with library, air hockey, beautiful views, but most of the coin operated games were out of order," cautions Nick & Allyssa S. about facilities at Bear Cave campground.

Tips from RVers

Premium cabin alternatives: Consider high-end RV sites at Sand Creek Campground as alternatives to standard cabins. "We spent the weekend exploring America's 61st National Park- Indiana Dunes National Park. The National Park campsite was full and recommended this place about 10 minutes away," shares Rae M., highlighting proximity to major attractions without requiring cabin rental.

Utilities and services: Check water availability at cabin sites if planning extended stays. "The only drawback was the lack of sewer hookups," mentions a reviewer about Weko Beach Campground, an important consideration for families planning longer cabin vacations who may need laundry facilities.

Seasonal pricing: Budget accordingly for summer premium rates at cabin rentals. "We paid $30 a night for 4 people. When my husband came on Saturday it was an extra $5," notes Jennifer Z. about camping costs that apply similarly to cabin guests, with many properties charging per-person rather than flat rates.
