I'm proud to be from the great state of Michigan. I've lived in the Mitten several different times throughout my life spending time in all corners of it. My journeys took me up and down the Lake Michigan coast, out east to explore Detroit and Ann Arbor, and to the dense forests of the UP.
Before writing with Only In Your State, I worked as a local TV news reporter and anchor, most recently in South Bend. Many of the stories I covered took place in Southwest Michigan. My roots are even deeper in the Wolverine State as I often head to Kalamazoo to visit family.
When I'm not out exploring nature, I'm avidly watching sports. I specifically have a deep love for the Michigan Wolverines (my alma mater), and I get to write about them and several other Big Ten teams as and editor for Athlon Sports. I also love to enjoy the great outdoors with my wife and our dog, Piper.
I'm excited to share all my favorite Michigan destinations with you. Keep exploring.
One of the things I love most about our state is how easy it is to experience the great outdoors in Michigan. However, traditional tent camping and sleeping on the ground certainly isn’t for everyone. That’s why I’m featuring one of the best places where you can get outside in comfort in the state. It all starts at Off Map Glamping in South Haven, Michigan.
For your glamping in Michigan adventure, head to South Haven, Michigan.
You'll find Off Map Glamping in the southwest corner of Michigan, which is only a two-hour drive from Chicago and a three-hour drive from Detroit. While it’s in one of the more rural parts of the state, it’s certainly worth a drive to experience a luxurious night in the great outdoors.
Lots of room to explore, with more than a dozen booking options.
Off Map Glamping sits on a 75-acre property with well-spaced luxury safari tents for privacy and comfort. Choose to stretch your legs under the shade of your tent or explore their wild blackberry fields. Up to three people can stay in a tent on each reservation.
These luxury tents mean you can leave all the camping supplies at home. These accommodations have everything you need to enjoy nature. Some of the luxury tents come with a woodburning stove and a complimentary breakfast in bed. Imagine hotel treatment in a tent. All guests are offered complimentary coffee and a light breakfast.
Some of the best memories come when the entire family is involved, including our pets. Thankfully, dogs are welcome at Off Map Glamping so they don’t miss out on any of the fun. This is a perfect getaway for your pets.
Experience the biggest payoff when the sun goes down and the stars emerge. This is the perfect place to light a fire in one of their fire circles and watch the night sky light up. You can also take a magical walk through some of their lighted trails.
Located just 10 minutes from the harbor town of South Haven, you can take your excursion on the map by visiting their lakeshore, shops, and restaurants. Then bring all the fun back to basecamp at Off Map Glamping.
This is one way to enjoy nature that I can get behind. The large property at Off Map Glamping in South Haven, Michigan, means you can camp in comfort in your own private space. Be sure to pack your favorite hiking gear so you can explore the trails on the 76-acre property. Check out everything that Southwest Michigan has to offer with several nearby beach communities waiting to show you why you need to come back more often.
