Best Cabin Camping near Warren, MI

Several cabin options are available within a 30-mile radius of Warren, Michigan at recreation areas and county parks. Addison Oaks County Park offers both cabins and yurts in a wooded setting with access to hiking and biking trails. Bald Mountain Recreation Area maintains two rustic cabins that sleep 10-15 people each, featuring wood-burning stoves but no electricity or running water. Cabins at Proud Lake Recreation Area and Highland State Recreation Area provide more modern amenities with electric hookups and nearby shower facilities. "We stayed in one of the group sites and it was beautiful. Less tree cover than we would have liked, you're basically in a giant grassy field, but it was perfect for a large group."

Rustic log cabins at Bald Mountain are popular with hunters and scout troops, offering a more primitive camping experience. In contrast, the cabins at Oakland County Addison Oaks and Camp Dearborn provide electricity and water hookups. Most cabins include picnic tables and fire rings for outdoor meals. Reservations are essential, especially during summer months when families frequently book weekend getaways. According to one visitor, "The cabins are rustic, so they don't have electricity or heat but there is a large wood burning stove." Pet policies vary by location, with most allowing leashed pets at campsites but potentially restricting them inside cabin accommodations.

Basic supplies should be brought to most cabin locations. While beds are typically provided, guests need to bring their own bedding, pillows, and towels. Cooking equipment requirements vary by cabin type - rustic cabins require campers to bring all cooking supplies for use with the wood stove or outside fire pit. More developed cabins may include basic cooking facilities. Firewood is available for purchase at most locations including Addison Oaks and Proud Lake. General stores or camp shops at larger facilities like Camp Dearborn offer limited grocery items, though comprehensive shopping requires a trip to nearby communities.

    McGinnis Lake Modern Campground — Holly Recreation Area

    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.

    Modern bathrooms and shower rooms are available.

    Many playgrounds, horseshoe pits, and a basketball court available.

    Firewood and ice available at the front gate.

    RV spaces are well spaced out and give a sense of privacy. Electrical hook ups.

    Cabins available for rent as well.

    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.

    Great Local Campground and Trails

    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.
