Jayne’s land was so great! The hookups were really convenient and spot #2 is so cozy and private. As hosts, they were so friendly and helpful. The location was perfect for us since it was so close to the Leelanau Trail. It felt like we were in the middle of the woods with a million stars up above but then it was also super convenient to Suttons Bay, which is such a cute town. I can not say enough good things about our stay! Thank you!

Camping and Rustic Glamping!
Wow! Just wow! We can’t say enough about Elm Valley and the hosts Jayne and Mike. We’ve been here for nearly a month and it’s wonderful. The property is stunning, it’s natural, but the amenities that we need (water and 30 amp electric. So much space! The camp site is well maintained with rocks, flowers, fire pit, and a picnic table. This has been a wonderful experience!!!

Leelanau Peninsula Stay
We loved staying at Jayne’s! Marty was very welcoming and gave great suggestions for places around town. The spot for our camper was beautiful and having hookups made it so convenient. If you choose to stay you won’t regret it.

What a lovely spot! Our family throughly enjoyed staying in this beautiful, well-maintained and quiet Hipcamp. The hosts were exceptionally friendly and hospitable. Great access to both Sutton’s Bay and Traverse. We will definitely be back! Thanks for having us!

Beautiful Site in Leelanau
Great, quiet campsite perfectly level at the top of a hill and nice prairie/wooded view surrounding. There are abundant activities all around including a small but usually empty beach pull off just a few minutes down the road.
Jayne and her whole family were amazing hosts and very friendly (even helping tie down some items in our campsite when the wind got out of control and we were gone for the day!)
Would definitely return. We’ve stayed at the state parks in the area and thinking we prefer Elm Valley. Only advice is know where you plan to dump your waste on the way back as Google is not extremely reliable suggesting places.

Great communication from Jayne prior to our arrival. When we arrived Marty helped us back in and get set up. There was a hook up for electric and water. It was quiet and surrounded by beautiful woods. There was a nice picnic table and fire pit. The location was great and close to Suttons Bay and a short drive from Traverse City. Jayne and Marty were very friendly and available for questions if needed. Loved it here and would not hesitate to stay again!

Great base to explore the Leelanau
Great private site close to all that the area has to offer. Electric and water hookups were a bonus. Jayne was a great communicator and made some great recommendations. If we didn’t live 1000 miles away we’d be back very soon . Thanks again Jayne for sharing with us.

They did this up right!
What a great set up and such kindness from the moment we booked to the conversation before we headed home. This was our first experience with Hipcamp and it set the bar high! This site was in a beautiful well cared for spot on their property in a secluded area between TC and Suttons Bay. This is a great location for two families to book a site and have there own gathering and explore the area together. Mike and Jayne know the area well and have a passion to share the beauty of the area with others. It was also helpful that there was a gas station less than a mile away that we could pull our 32 ft RV through with ease to gas up and the prices were the same as a Sams club. It was stocked and also has a little take out restaurant inside. We were busy the whole weekend with a wedding so we look forward to coming back to get the fuller experience.

Perfect spot for a long weekend. We spent the mornings hiking and biking nearby, and the afternoon visiting wineries. We wouldn’t hesitate to stay here again, the site was wonderful.

Great spot, wonderful hosts!
Jayne's spot was truly wonderful. I was visiting the area for business in my converted van and was happy to find a spot that not only allowed converted vans, but had electric hookups (30 amp - and they had an adapter for my 15 am plugs for me to use!) and a little spout for water.
I had plenty of room to pull into and out of my spot - I got to choose from the two since I was the only camper - with each having a very nice fire pit and gorgeous trees all around. It was quiet except for the lone coyotes howling and some little creatures prowling the bushes, which I like quite a bit myself. Jayne and her husband were very friendly - genuinely warm, welcoming, and accommodating - and it was a joy to get to know them.
It's a nice location, just far enough away from Traverse City to have more peace and still be close to town - and even closer to Sutton's Bay.
I'll definitely be staying again if ever I'm in need of a spot in the area. Highly recommend!

Nice and private with good firepit and picnic table. Jayne & Mike were so nice and Mike gave us fresh smoked whitefish. The electric and water hookup for the RV worked great. The peninsula area is beautiful. Thanks for the hospitality!

Elm Valley is a beautiful location, in the heart of Leelanau County, and all it has to offer. Jayne communicated very well before our arrival, and met us when we arrived. Our back-in location was tree lined, private and spacious. My only caveat is that I would not have wanted to have a trailer larger than 25’, as turn around space was very tight. I understand they plan to increase this space going forward, so stay tuned for that change. Overall a great experience, and we would come back again.

Quiet site, great hosts
Loved our stay at Elm Valley. It was so quiet and close to many great area attractions. Jayne is a wonderful host, welcoming, friendly and not at all in your space. She and her family have lots of plans for the camp sites so it will be fun to visit again next year to see what’s new.

What you want in a trip and more!
This was our first time using Hipcamp, and we could not ask for a better experience! Jayne, her family, and her site were nothing less than amazing. I will be staying there everytime I visit the TC area if it is open. Again I can not speak high enough of Jayne, her family, and the site. She welcomed us with open arms, and made our experience amazing

Elm Valley was the perfect place to park our camper for our northern Michigan adventure. Jayne is so helpful and sweet and it was the perfect amount of privacy. The view of the stars and moon at night was amazing. The location was perfect! Highly recommend.

Peaceful and quiet.
What a peaceful place! With only two spaces, it was perfect for a meetup with our friends... Our own private campground. The quiet was perfect, yet we were close to so many things to do. Our hosts were spectacular - super helpful and friendly. Absolutely loved this space!

We had such a great time at Elm Valley. The surrounding area is beyond beautiful, and Jayne's palce is the perfect base camp. Jayne was an incredible host, and the site was both conveniently located and very private. What a beautiful spot! We hope to make Elm Valley an anual trip.

Jayne was super welcoming and made our stay perfect. Spot #1 was perfect for our 33ft travel trailer. We were only a short distance from both Sutton's Bay and Traverse City. Super quiet and peaceful.

Will stay there again!
We had a wonderful stay at Elm Valley. Jayne and Mike were very welcoming and helpful. Even though their house is close to the spot we were occupying, it was separated by trees so we felt very secluded. Our view was very pretty. Elm Valley is also situated in a great place to stay to visit Traverse City and surrounding area. When we take another visit to the area, we certainly will want to stay there again.

Great location, great hosts!
We really enjoyed our stay on Jayne's property. The location is perfect (~15min north of Traverse City, and about a mile from the West Bay), and the site itself is quiet and beautiful. It's been beautifully landscaped with great rock fire pits surrounded by trees and nature. The hosts were helpful and we were very happy with our stay!

We had a lovely time staying here. Definitely will be back! It had a nice wooded area the kids loved to play in! Quiet and peaceful and not far from the cutest little beach at Suttons Bay beach and only a 20 minute drive to Traverse City. Great option for peaceful, secluded camping with lots of great touristy options!

Great Place to Stay
Highly recommended!! Convenient location close to both Suttons Bay and Traverse City. Easy to follow directions to locate, clean and accessible area to park the trailer, functional hookups for electrical and water, picnic table and fire pit. There’s also nearby access to the tart trail (fun bike rides to wineries, hop lot brewing, etc.). Hosts were very friendly and accommodating - even sharing fresh caught & smoked fish!

Perfect Quiet Getaway!
Elm Valley is a hidden treasure! It’s quiet and serene, with plenty of space for a nice sized camper. Jayne and Mike were the perfect hosts, accommodating our every request and making sure we were comfortable and satisfied. The location is convenient to all the area wineries, restaurants and lakes. Elm Valley is our go-to spot for the Traverse City area, and Jayne and Mike are our newest camping friends!
