Winter is Michigan's unsung hero of seasons. There are many opportunities to tuck into remote campsites and cozy cabins for the evening and experience adventures that can be shared over campfires.
Before you go
- Select the winter camping destination right for you. Winter camping is available in select campgrounds statewide, plus cabins, yurts, geodesic domes and lodges.
- Winter RV rentals are available. Reserve your site, then have one of the permitted businesses deliver to your selected destination.
- Make sure you have the right gear, and plan ahead for the weather. Get tips on how to dress, but if you aren't quite ready to invest in cold weather gear, consider renting a winter weather kit from Arrive Outdoors, our latest These Goods are Good for Michigan partner.
