"We completed the upgrades because many of our users said they would like to have electricity available. We also hope this may encourage new park visitors that may not have wanted an experience quite that 'rustic.' The cabins are within walking distance of the beach, located on the Straits of Mackinac and cabin users will have access to other campground amenities," said Rich Hill Jr., Wilderness' park supervisor.

These large historic log cabins sleep 24 people and are located next to each other, which make them ideal lodging for large groups or families visiting the Mackinaw area. The cabins rent for $80 a night and may be reserved through the call center at 1-800-44-PARKS or online at www.midnrreservations.com.

For more information, please contact Wilderness State Park at 231-436-5381. The park is located at 903 Wilderness Park Dr. in Carp Lake, just west of Mackinaw City.
