Raquel & Kevin is a Star Host

Star Hosts are highly rated, responsive, and committed to providing incredible experiences.

Our sites accomodate 2 adults plus their minors, with 1-2 vehicles at each site's entrance. If you're traveling with more than 2 adults please book more than one site. Enjoy a peaceful outdoor experience in beautiful Leelanau County via Agritourism at Jackson Station! Our property has 4 private tent sites situated among a dense pine forest on our small-scale farm. We're located between the two popular vacation destinations of Glen Arbor and Leland, MI - both a short scenic drive in either direction. The peninsula has tons of recreation: hiking, biking, beaches, boating, fishing, dining, shopping, wine tasting, and visit the Sleeping Bear Dunes! Our farm produces pastured, all natural meat, including pork, beef, goat and fresh eggs/seasonal veggies. See the hens roaming, cows and goats grazing in the fenced-in pasture. A variety of cuts of meat from our freezers are available for sale or get a tour of the farm ~ Just ask! You may simply enjoy the scene at your leisure. SITE DETAILS: Each camp site has woodchips, gravel surrounding a bonfire ring, a clothesline and neatly stacked firewood for sale. Our sites accomodate 2 adults and their minors. We recommend that larger groups or multiple adults book more than one site next to each other (sites 1 and 2 or 2 and 3 are good for this). Quiet hours are enforced between 10pm-7am. This is our home and farm, not a campground, please think of staying here that way. A water pump (for delicious drinking water straight from our well) and outdoor solar shower are located at camp. Our land borders the Sleeping Bear Dunes National Lakeshore. You'll be just a few miles from access to beautiful Lake Michigan beaches. Relax in the sand, hunt for rocks, hike a trail, kayak or paddle-board and watch an epic sunset. School Lake, known for its fishing from non-motorized boats or a quiet place to paddle. 2 Miles away, access the Sleeping Bear Heritage Trail, a non-motorized 27 mile groomed trail that follows the scenic M-22 from our location all the way to Empire, MI. 2.8 miles from our camp, you'll find a Mountain Bikers paradise at Palmer Woods Forest Preserve, with various hiking trails and a 6 mile mountain bike trail.

Site 1 has the widest vehicle entry and parking for privacy within your site. It sits with a view of a newer North Pasture and hardwood forest. The site itself is tucked in and private while feeling spacious and open in the site itself. Out of our 4 sites available, this is the only one that a campervan or similar rig may pull into and park privately at the site. If you have a larger family or are traveling with a group, site 1 and 2 are perfect to book for sharing. There is a little path tucked into the pines for site 1 and 2 to access each other, while being just enough away to still maintain some privacy between sites.

Raquel and Kevin’s property is beautiful! The best way to describe it is serene. Mornings were so peaceful, hearing the birds in the morning flitting around the site and feeling the sun’s rays slowly warm up the site. The location was great- only about 15-25 mins from any site in sleeping bear dunes, and being on the eastern side it felt a bit quieter. Also, Raquel was kind enough to drop off some eggs for me when their roadside stand was out. I’m looking forward to coming back sometime in the near future!
