We loved Linda's little piece of heaven! We were seeking a quiet kid-free weekend with peace and tranquility for our anniversary and that's exactly what we got. We mentioned to Linda that our air mattress had lost some air (our pump wasn't working) and she came back 10 minutes later with a pump and extension cord for us. Lots could have been a little bigger, but it wasn't an issue since we were the only guests. 5 star host, 5 star location!

This place is absolutely amazing. There is so much natural beauty everywhere you look and it is very private. Jon is an awesome host and a really cool guy. We explored a lot of the property but I feel like there is a lot more to see when we find the time to get back there again. This is the kind of natural wonder that you could enjoy any time of year as long as you're prepared for the elements.

Weekend Trip to Dingle Dangle Acres

This is an amazing cabin with all the amenities a person could ever think of. It really felt like I was staying in my super cool aunts cabin who knew I needed a long break. The land was beautiful, the cabin had so many wonderful cooking options from nice stainless steel to cast iron and easy to use air fryer. Plus a good portion of spices. The beds were so comfy! I need to find out what pillow topper she uses. Was easy to clean with all the mops and scrubs, which is essential when you got doggies. Speaking of doggies, it is hard to ware out a shepherd and a black lab, they slept like logs both nights. They both have pretty good recall, so giving them the opportunity to really run in the woods, around the cleared out area nearby the cabin, and pond was fun for them. It is private, beautifully dark at night so you can see the stars so well. The nearby town of tawas was fantastic. And stop at Joe's Market on the way in on 65 and get the best cut of meat and great sweet corn. Good internet too! So you can post all the pictures to make your friends jealous. Seriously relaxing and incredibly enjoyable. Might even be back next weekend.

Lots of wood to collect for your fire! Dont need to bring any. James showed me around the area and was very welcoming. I drive a Honda Fit and was able to drive to site no issue. This is a huge plus! I would note this area is very moist with creeks running throughout- this is a tick and mosquitoes warning if it wasn't already obvious. I sprayed my gear with 3% permethrin once I realized (tent and 2 outfits). I only saw about 3 the entire stay (3 nights) and checked myself constantly. I stayed on trail as much as possible and I had no issues! Just a heads up for any visitors. You do hear traffic across the way and a couple 4 wheelers in the field across during the day time. Dollar general 6 min away has everything you may need and some small cute shops in town. Walmart is 30 min away. I felt safe camping here as a solo female and cant wait to visit again.

We drove from upstate so about 5 hour drive. we arrived and had questions right away about the set up he answered and came down. helped us level out the rv cause my jacks went out. super nice and understanding. The place was stunning. huge field behind you and tree coverage. easy to find. fire flies were out everywhere at night. the shower was clear had a little smell but nothing that stuck to you. sink and toilet were clean and working good. we truly had a blast and relaxing weekend out here. dogs were good with no leashes. grass was cut. Definitely one of our new favorite spots! down the road is a boat dock you can fish at. The only thing I would say is a little annoying is the traffic around the place but inside the rv you couldn’t hear it, it’s just close to the road but i’ll take that over a loud crowded campsite. If you want your own little spot or with a family this is the place to be!

Harrisville State Park camping guide

Overview

About

Come get some sweet lovin’ from mother nature and by sweet lovin’ we mean the sexiest damn lakefront views right from your tent. They say looks aren’t everything, but seeing Lake Huron aglow in the sparkling sun the moment you wake up sure does soften any reservations you may have had about sleepin’ outside. It may just be possible that coming here, you will find the best beach you’ve ever been to, right smack dab in the middle of the country. Beach it up 'til you're dizzy and wind it down on a chill 2 mile trail to check out the grounds and admire some midwest pines. Must've been a good date with nature, she’s inviting you to spend the night. Camp out or do some cabining, either way nature will make you comfortable!

When to go

The ideal time to visit Harrisville State Park is during the summer months, from June to August, when the weather is warm and the lake is inviting. However, autumn also offers a spectacular display of fall colors. Winters can be harsh with heavy snowfall, making some areas less accessible.

Know before you go

Ensure you have a Recreation Passport for park entry, as it's required for all visitors.
Check trail conditions and weather forecasts before your visit to stay safe and prepared.
Accessibility varies across the park, so inquire ahead if you have specific needs.
Remember to pack out all your trash and respect the park's natural environment.
Facilities may vary by season, so confirm availability of restrooms and water sources before your trip.
