About each unit
Keewaydin Lake Yurt
Keewaydin Lake Yurt, at Craig Lake State Park. It's a yurt furnished with a table, chairs, and bunk beds - there's 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.
Rustic Cabins
Rustic Cabins, at Craig Lake State Park. 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. DNR's own pet-friendly page names a real "Small Cabin" here as pet-friendly, alongside the Teddy Lake Yurt below, but doesn't give it its own individual name or coordinate.
