Alderwood Glamping: ORION
Wilson, MI, United States
Your own private glamping cottage tucked into 40 acres of Upper Peninsula woods in Wilson, Michigan. Inside: queen bed, sofa, twinkle lights, solar power, and a heater for cool nights. Outside: a fire ring with firewood, picnic table, and a view of the trees that's yours alone. Six-foot privacy screens and a private outdoor restroom make this site completely your own. Each site is designed for two adults. You can have up to six total with an extra tent for the little ones to bunk in.
Good to know
The glamping sites at Alderwood Crossing have their own private entrance, separate from the main lodge and event venues on the property. You'll never be sharing space with a wedding or event — your experience is completely self-contained from arrival to departure. WiFi reaches the sites and cell service in the Wilson area is reliable, so you're connected if you need to be. That said, most guests find they use their phones a lot less out here than they expected. Your porta potty and wash station are serviced and cleaned before every arrival and maintained weekly by our service provider. It's not a bathroom with four walls, but it's clean, private, and exclusively yours for your stay. Your site is fully equipped for everything you need. Come ready to unplug, sit by the fire, and enjoy the woods. That's the whole point. Bring layers. The pod has a heater for cool nights, but even summer evenings in the UP have a chill to them that most people don't expect. Firewood is provided but if you're a heavy fire burner, we're happy to bring more out for a small fee. Groceries and gas are close by — Massie's Market in Bark River and Fazer's in Powers are both within a few miles. Local restaurants are nearby as well, and the casino with its restaurants and golf course is only about three miles away. Escanaba is about 16 miles if you need a larger store or more options.
Other Details to Note
We ask that each site stick to one vehicle. If you need to bring an additional car, just reach out ahead of time and we'll make it work. Parking is right at your site, which will be clearly marked when you arrive. We love animals but ask that pets stay home for this one. We have five private sites and want everyone to have a peaceful experience. Quiet hours run from 10pm to 8am. Before you turn in for the night or head out for the day, please make sure your fire is fully extinguished. Each site is designed for two adults. If you're bringing the kids along, we'd love to have them. You can have up to six people total on your site with an extra tent for the little ones to bunk in. We just ask that you let us know ahead of time and add them at booking. Additional guests beyond the base two are $15 per person per night.

Accessibility and Availability
Neighborhood
Alderwood Crossing sits in the heart of Michigan's Upper Peninsula — a region known for its vast forests, clean air, and a pace of life that most people have forgotten exists. You're surrounded by woods and wildlife, with the Island Resort and Casino and Sweetgrass Golf Course just three miles away. The Central UP's extensive ORV and ATV trail network is right in your backyard, with thousands of miles of state-designated trails winding through some of the most beautiful forest in the region. Escanaba is 16 miles for dining, Lake Michigan access, and shopping. Whether you're here to ride, fish, sit by the fire, or simply do nothing at all — the UP has a way of making every one of those feel like exactly the right choice.
Guest Access
Your glamping site is your space to enjoy fully. Out of respect for your neighbors on the other sites, please stay within your designated area rather than wandering through the surrounding woods or adjacent sites. Everyone here came for the same thing — a little peace, a little quiet, and a place to breathe.
