Best Glamping near Huron, OH

Kelleys Island State Park Campground houses several luxury yurt accommodations along the shores of Lake Erie, approximately 10 miles north of Huron, Ohio. These canvas structures combine rustic charm with upscale comforts, featuring queen-sized beds with premium linens, private decks overlooking the water, and climate control systems for year-round comfort. East Harbor State Park Campground also offers safari-style glamping tents with electricity, furnished interiors, and dedicated fire pits within walking distance of the beach and hiking trails. These elevated camping experiences include amenities not found in traditional campsites, such as USB charging stations, mini-refrigerators, and outdoor dining setups. One guest shared, "Very clean campground, lots of people. Easy drive-up spots, fire pits, clean showers, bathrooms, and a camp shop. Really nice bike/walking bath out to the water."

Water-based activities dominate the glamping experience at these Lake Erie accommodations, with private kayak launches, fishing spots, and swimming areas directly accessible from the glamping resorts. Seasonal programming runs from April through October, with guided nature walks, stargazing events, and evening campfires coordinated by park staff. The glamping units at Lighthouse Point provide exceptional views of Cedar Point amusement park, allowing guests to watch roller coasters while enjoying upscale outdoor accommodations. Many geodesic domes and canvas tents include kitchenettes with basic cooking supplies, though several local restaurants deliver directly to glamping sites during peak season. According to a camper, "The campground is on the lake and is beautiful! So many things to do! The camp is clean, has a playground, and movie night. Beach is within walking distance of campsite."

    Maumee Bay State Park Campground

    Clean, spacious, fairly private with lots of activity options

    We've camped at Maumee Bay State Park twice and enjoyed it both times.  The campground is part of a larger resort complex that includes a hotel, marina, a nice beach on Lake Erie, a second beach on an inland lake, golf course, mowed hiking trails and - our favorite - about 5 miles of beautiful, paved bike paths.  It's all very clean and well maintained.  The whole place has a welcoming, friendly vibe.

    We camped on site 47, electric only.  Very level and spacious paved spot with its own shade tree.  Nearby shower house accessible by well-lit paved path.  Our only problem was a bit of water puddling near the camper/fire pit but it went away after the first night.  

    The campground is spread out so everyone brings bicycles and also saw a few golf carts.  Very nice for family bicycling!  Saw lots of wildlife on our rides.

    The surrounding area is kind of industrial.  We toured it the first year we went (very interesting!) but stayed close to camp this year.

    Lighthouse Point at Cedar Point

    Immaculate!

    Absolutely beautiful RV park! Gorgeous views of Lake Erie and walking distance to the gate of Cedar Point. Beautiful landscaping and very clean. Staff is incredibly friendly and knowledgeable. Good little camp store with reasonable(ish) prices. Too chilly to swim but the pool looks nice. Bathhouses are updated, clean and very nice, but pretty far from about half of the sites. One section has premium sites with upgraded grills and fire pits and crazy good lake views. The regular sites are still well landscaped and each have a grill and an extra long picnic table, but no fire pit. You can bring your own fire pit if your site doesn't have one. No bikes or golf carts allowed on the grounds, but there are Cedar Point buses available day & night as well as rickshaws during the day. Until now I have held Disney World's Fort Wilderness as the penultimate place for camping but they could learn a few things from Cedar Point! We stayed five nights in a pull through sites, #231. I would love to snag a premium site for our next trip but it may be difficult because they allow you to book up five years in advance!

    Charles Mill Lake Park Campground

    mixed feelings 😕

    Upon arrival friendly staff greeted us. Bath houses are clean and well maintained.  Our site was not clean and ready.  Picnic table looked like it was not cleaned since last season and the fire pit was full of rubbish.  Had campers behind us who played music so loud we couldn't hear each other talk.  I asked the gentleman to please turn it down and they did slightly. Another camper also asked them to turn it down and again it was very slight.  Well after midnight music continued.  No park ranger made rounds until Saturday morning and throughout the day.  

    The lake is gorgeous this weekend and we enjoyed riding bikes and walking the park.  

    May be back to try again.

    Love this place

    A great campground in Ohio. So clean and so many things to do. Campsites are close together but they do honor quiet hours. Great trail around the lake and a fun and challenging disc golf course.

    Best weekend camping

    We will definitely be going back! Campground is on the lake and is beautiful! So many things to do! The camp is clean, has a playground, and movie night. Bath house is a typical campground bath house. We had a tent site and it was huge! Sites come with fire pit and picnic table. Beach is within walking distance of campsite.

    Camp Sandusky

    Very nice campgrounds!

    There is so much structure and order to this campground! The grounds are laid out so nicely! One big circle with cross roads all along the way. You can camp however you'd like too! They have RV sites, tent sites and cabins. All mixed in together so you can travel with all your favorite campers. They do breakfast every morning in the front pavilion for $4.50 (all you can eat pancakes, 1 sausage and coffee) I haven't tried it yet, but its certainly popular. Laundry is open 24 hours a day and in an open area. Not the biggest fan of that due to needing to do laundry in the rain. Bathrooms are clean and standard. Row of toilet stalls and showers in a separate room. They have a stellar playground area, I don't have kids but even I was drawn to wanting to play on it. Very pet friendly around here. Close to downtown, near Cedar Point and all the other attractions over here. They have 2 pools, one being heated. We haven't had a bad rain storm while we're here but you can tell by the ground of our spot its going to be bad and super muddy. All in all this campground is pretty awesome.

    East Harbor State Park Campground

    Very nice campground

    This campground is very large with lots of spots to choose from. The C portion has few trees, but if you choose a spot off one of the south circles, the sites are private. The bathhouse is very clean and well maintained. If you want quiet, it may not be for you because lots of families camp there. Quiet hours were, however, quiet! Trails are wide, grassy, and mowed, great for families who want to walk with children. WiFi is not strong, so don't plan on streaming a movie in the evening. There are plenty of things to do, though. My husband and I had a great time!


Guide to Huron

Huron, Ohio camping options range from lakefront state parks to secluded island getaways. Located on Lake Erie's southern shore at 580 feet elevation, the area experiences warm summers with average highs of 80°F and mild fall camping seasons when temperatures range from 50-70°F. The region's camping facilities include not just traditional tent and RV sites but also yurt camping options on nearby islands.

What to do

Water activities along Lake Erie: East Harbor State Park Campground offers excellent access to boating and fishing. "We enjoy walking to the pond at night and flashlight frogs... It is a great place for birding, fishing, boating and close to marblehead lighthouse and the ferries to take you to Kelley's Island and Put In Bay," shares Jaclyn B.

Island exploration: Take a ferry to Kelleys Island State Park Campground for a complete change of scenery. "The ferry ride it takes to access this state park island is well worth the time and fees! Fun beach side restaurants, dirt roads and pretty beaches. The state park has camping that can accommodate launching your boat if needed," notes Erin H. Rent bikes or golf carts to fully explore the island's attractions.

Amusement park thrills: Lighthouse Point at Cedar Point places you minutes from roller coasters. "You can see the coasters and hear the screams from your rig! Great value as your stay gets you in Cedar Point an hour early," explains Joe M., making this an ideal camping option for thrill-seekers.

What campers like

Lakeside views: The cliff-side camping at South Bass Island State Park Campground offers unmatched sunset views. "I camped in a tent-only site on the edge of the 25 foot cliff. Great for adults, but no safety barrier for young children. Campsite #97 and #99 have fire rings right on the cliff," reports Victoria B.

Clean facilities: Crystal Rock Campground maintains excellent bathhouses. "The bathrooms were pretty far from the tent area," notes Wendi R., but other campers consistently mention the cleanliness. "Bathrooms and showers were clean which is always a plus. Wifi reception was also good," adds Derrick J.

Spacious sites: East Harbor State Park offers good site layout. "I enjoy this campground because there are lots of great spots to choose from. I love the ability to walk or bike to the beach," says Jaclyn B. Another camper adds, "We also like the cul de sac set up of the electric site layout. It allows for a lot more 'good sites'."

What you should know

Island logistics: Getting to Kelleys Island State Park Campground requires planning. "To reach Kelley's Island, you have to take the only ferry. Our round trip fare for 3 adults and a vehicle was around $100. It's around 25 mins across to the island," explains AnneMarie G. Cell service can be spotty, with one camper noting, "My phone thought we were in Canada."

Seasonal considerations: Several campgrounds have limited operating seasons. "Tent camped for 5 nights. Brought the dog and bicycles-easy island to bicycle on/around," shares Mary S. about Kelleys Island, which operates April through October, making fall a perfect time for yurt camping in Huron, Ohio area.
