There are 4 secluded sites on 15 acres of woods and open land. Easy access to each site. Large communal campfire area with firewood available on site or very nearby. A camper is set up for restroom use and there is a hose available for water. There are a horseshoe pit, Yard Darts and Corn hole board and bags available to play. Centrally located to several attractions! Manistee Lake is about 2 miles away, Manistee River is just 15 mins away, a slow meandering river. Great for a lazy day floating on a tube, kayaking and canoeing. The infamous Torch Lake is about 30 mins away with it's Caribbean blue waters, equally beautiful Elk Lake along with the beaches of Lake Michigan. Traverse City and Gaylord are 35 mins away and historic Grayling is about 25 mins away. The mighty Mackinac Bridge is just 50 mins away. Visit the quaint Mackinac Island and pick up some of the famous fudge! Leetsville ORV trail head is a little over 6 miles away for ORV enthusiasts. Three golf courses within 9 miles. Cherry Street Market is 9 miles away for a large array of fresh local fruits, vegetables and flowers. Garden art and more! 13 Ski Resorts within an hr or less, mostly less. There are so many things to see and do year around here in beautiful Northern Michigan!

Star Child Hill has perfect views of the night sky. Almost no light pollution allows for spectacular viewing of the Milky Way and meteor showers. While there is open sky views there is still plenty of space to find the shade.

Great camping spot!

We loved this spot. It was one of most peaceful, quiet and secluded spots we’ve been to. We were the only campers here for the most part so that helped. The property is big and great for letting your dogs run around. Jackie was very helpful with anything we needed! We would love to come back. Thanks again Jackie!

Jackie is a great host. Large sites and privacy. Quiet setting. Great to hear the coyotes howling at night under the stars. Definitely going back.

Great spot. Nice and private, but great to have a bathroom nearby. My GPS gave me a little trouble getting there but Jackie answered my questions right away and got me to the right spot.

We had a great time staying on Jackie’s property! She was very kind, helpful, and generous. Answered any message/ question promptly, and even offered shelter to us when a big storm came through. And on top of that, it was gorgeous!

We had a nice time camping at Jackie’s camp. We were the only campers there so it was plenty private for us. If there were other campers, it may not have been as private as we’d like. The site we stayed at was across the path from the bathroom camper and the communal fire ring. Directions and signage was clean and sufficient. Thanks for letting us enjoy your land.

Jakie was a great host. She allowed us to fill our water tank, provided fire wood (and even have us some extra!), and walked us back to the camp site. The setting was nice, quiet, and secluded... exactly what we were looking for. We winter camped, but I'm sure it would be a great place to stay during the warmer months as well. Would visit again!

Had a fantastic, although short, overnight at Jackie's Star Child site. Even though my itinerary meant I arrived very late (11pm?), Jackie met me and led me back to the site and showed me where everything was. Nice fire ring and privy at the site. Heard coyotes around midnight and again very close at about 2:30, then when I first got out of the tent at dawn, there was one standing about 25 yards checking me out! Didn't have time to reach back in for the phone to take a picture before she turned and padded off down one of the trails. What a perfect way to start the day! I broke camp and headed about half an hour north to backpack the NCT/Jordan Valley Pathway. Thought I left a section of tent pole behind (I didn't, just hid it on myself while packing up) and Jackie graciously took the time to go out to the site and see if she could spot it. Looks like there are lots of mowed trails on Jackie's property for walking, and I did see some fresh bear scat too!
