About each unit
Mini Cabins · sleeps 6
Mini Cabins, at Hayes State Park. It's a mini cabin that sleeps up to six, with bunk beds, electrical outlets, a microwave, and a small refrigerator - there's no heat or running water inside. Toilet and shower buildings and vault toilets are a short walk away (only the vault toilets stay open in the off-season). Bring your own bedding, dishes, and cookware. Mini cabins here cost more than at most other Michigan state parks.
Tiny Houses · sleeps 6
Tiny Houses, at Hayes State Park. It's one of Michigan DNR's "reimagined" lodging options - sleeping up to six, with bunk beds, a futon, electrical outlets, and shelving, but no running water inside. Toilet and shower buildings and vault toilets are a short walk away (only the vault toilets stay open in the off-season). Bring your own bedding, dishes, and cookware. No individually mapped coordinate is published for this unit - the point shown is this park's own campground location.
