Thinking of a destination that isn’t too mainstream but also easily accessible? You should check out Munising in Michigan. It could be called one of Michigan’s best-kept open secrets, as you’ll often hear more about Detroit or Grand Rapids in the media. That may be for the better, as Munising’s unique charm comes from the beauty of natural sites nearby. Hiawatha National Forest’s vast woodlands border the Great Lakes, specifically Lake Huron and Lake Superior. Meanwhile, Pictured Rocks National Lakeshore is named for the beautiful patterns created by groundwater leaching through the mineral-rich rocks. Lake Superior, which Munising sits right next to, also hosts plenty of water activities, such as kayaking, boating, and even shipwreck diving.
These majestic places are perfect for camping and glamping, so if you’re willing to try, check out these best glamping spots near Munising, Michigan.
We handpicked these listings carefully, considering (wherever possible) host status, recent guest reviews, prices, availability of dates, decor, and a location that facilitates glamping or is close to glamping spots. The image galleries get refreshed with the latest updates regularly. They were last updated on March 12, 2024.
