When you want to be out in nature but not get too rustic, glamping is the answer!
A resort in Michigan is in the running for “Best Glamping Spot in the U.S.” in a USA Today 10Best contest.
USA Today explains that glamping (or glamourous camping) “combines the minimalistic nature of camping with modern amenities and creature comforts.”
A panel of experts have chosen the top 20 glamping retreats in the country, and now its up to a public vote.
Michigan’s Beaver Island Retreat is among the nominees! The resort lies on Beaver Island in Lake Michigan between the Lower and Upper Peninsula.

It’s one of only two Glamorous Campgrounds located on an island in the continental United States. Beaver Island is considered to be one of the most remote locations in the country, making Beaver Island Retreat a unique experience by location.
