On the tip of Michigan’s thumb near Port Austin, sits Port Crescent State Park. The park features 3 miles of Sandy beach along Lake Huron and is home to a dark sky preserve for fire-side star gazing. The Michigan DNR with partner Recreation Resource Management of America has installed two geodesic domes to offer a unique camping experience for those who don’t have an RV or not interested in pitching a tent. According to MLive, the environmentally-friendly shelters add more options for those looking to explore Michigan’s Great Lakes and Michigan’s thumb region. The dome structures are considered green because they require fewer materials to build and less energy to heat and cool.
