Camp Moonshadow RV site camping

Can’t wait to come back!

Hands down the best campsite we’ve ever stayed at. The amenities were fantastic, the land was beautiful and Robb and Jeanne couldn’t have been more welcoming. You’re 5 minutes from beautiful beaches and 8 minutes from empire bluff trail which is a must. We will definitely be back, 11/10

CAMP MOONSHADOW Tent Camping

Tent camping was lovely! And the outdoor kitchen made cooking extremely easy. Definitely recommend for families or gatherings.

Camping in the pines

Rob and Jeanne were fantastic. We changed dates a few times and they were very accommodating. They both showed up when we got there and walked us through everything. What a great site. They give you dry wood and kindling, it was raining but they covered the wood for us to do bonfire that night. We were the only campers there. My wife used the outside kitchen and loved it. She really loved taste of the water there too. She said it tasted fantastic. Very private location, very beautiful view. Robb works at a local winery so don’t forget to ask about his recommendations. I have a 19 FDS Geo pro which is 19 feet long. No issues backing in at all. But it might be a little tight if your rig is longer than that. There is a slight tilt to the rv site so make sure to have blocks.

Camp Moonshadow is a GEM!

We LOVED this site and will be back! Robb and Jeanne have such a great setup for families, and the outdoor kitchen makes a trip so much easier. We appreciated the tips for local food and music venues, and Esch Beach (a 6 min drive from the site) was an unexpected gem. Hot showers from the shower house were a huge morale booster on a cold and rainy fall weekend, and we loved everything the site had to offer. Can't wait to camp here again!

At the doorsteps of Sleeping Bear

Staying here you are just a hop skip and jump away from Esch Beach and Sleeping Bear Dunes National Seashore. It is by far the nicest Hipcamp we have stayed st and deserves the 2023 Best MI Hipcamp award granted to it. The camp property is very well cared for. All use areas were freshly mowed.Signage upon arrival made it very clear to identify and navigate to the right spot. The amenities offered verge on concierge service.There is a fully stocked outdoor sheltered kitchen complete with every food preparation item you could possibly need. It has a full kitchen sink to do your dishes in with a drying rack. Did I mention stove, refrigerator, dishes and coffee maker? So convenient! The showers are rugged but are clean with plentiful hot water and water pressure. The majority of the camp is in a beautiful pine forest with a carpet of pine needles creating a super soft surface to walk and pitch a tent on. We stayed at the RV site which has both water and electric. It also featured multiple tables, chairs, fire pit, firewood, and grill. The site is not level so bring some extra blocks. The porta potties were very clean and offered a working sink, soap and paper towels. It may seem odd to mention but the toilet paper was also very nice. The host is very gracious and provided great tips on local spots. Farm fresh eggs and homemade zuchini bread and mini camp store available down the street at local farm. No dog problems. Owner’s dog was on a leash and stayed at house. 5 Star stay.

Always a great time at Camp Moonshadow! I got to bring my sister with me this time and she said she would have camped more with her kids if there was an outdoor kitchen where they went.
