Last summer, we had an awesome camping trip around the lower peninsula of Michigan. We spent one week along Lake Michigan and another week along Lake Huron. One of the highlights was checking out one of the new Geodesic Cabins at Port Crescent State Park.

Michigan DNR opened two Geodesic Dome Cabins in the park in May of 2021. These domes are energy efficient.

A dome requires a 2-night minimum stay and can be reserved through the Michigan DNR website. These geodesic domes are popular, so book early!

If you are unable to secure a reservation for a GeoDome, Port Crescent State Park also has seven cabins and one cottage available for glamping.
