More and more Americans are spending time outside—a blessing and a curse. Popular trails across the West have reached peak limits and famed US national parks like Yellowstone and Yosemite, among others, openly struggle to accommodate the miles-long lines of cars. But getting outside doesn't have to mean traveling long distances to the most well-known recreation destinations or risking life and limb to sleep under the stars—there's ease to access adventure to be had in often-overlooked states, like Michigan. If a break from the city and daily hustle and bustle appeals to you, but roughing it does not, try a centuries-old style of overnight outdoor recreation: glamping.
Short for "glamorous camping," glamping is the perfect way to experience the outdoors without sacrificing the comfort of the indoors. Think canvas tents, yurts, treehouses, Airstream trailers, maybe even a tiny house, all of which provide the ideal place for recharging, whether you're looking for a quiet getaway to the woods or a cabin rental for exploring Michigan's lakes, state parks, and recreation areas.
