Michigan is Great for Glamping

With new resorts popping up all the time like The Woods in Fennville and Post Card Cabins in Grand Junction, Michigan is truly becoming a glamping destination. Glamping is a great option when you want to be outside in nature, but not get too rustic. It's perfect for someone like me who appreciates Michigan's beauty... but also wants a comfy bed to sleep in, clean bathrooms, and at least a little pampering.

Well, a glamping spot that's been on my bucket list for a while is being recognized as one of the best in the nation.

USA Today and 10Best polled their readers to discover the top glamping spots in America in 2026. A panel of experts picked twenty retreats that combine "the simplicity of traditional camping with the indulgence of modern amenities and creature comforts," before opening the rankings to a public vote.
