About
Rustic Cabins, at Bald Mountain State Recreation Area. It's a rustic cabin with no electricity or running water inside - most of Michigan's rustic cabins are heated by a wood fireplace or propane heater. A vault toilet is a short walk away, and potable water is available at nearby spigots. Bring your own bedding, dishes, and cookware. There are multiple rustic cabins here, though an exact count and individual locations aren't published.
Fees
