Dancing Meadows Homestead

5 sites ¡ RVs, Tents40 acres ¡ Marine City, MI
Dancing Meadows Homestead continues a long farming tradition that has been with this land since the early 1800's. The homestead originally settled in the 1830's has been in continuous farming operation since that time. We purchased the farm from the family in 2015 and have continued to operate it as a homestead. Including managing the forest as well as the farmable land. There are so many wonderful finds from the insects to the star gazing all available on this wonderful piece of land. Join us as we explore and appreciate all that nature has to offer. Learn more about this land: Beautiful secluded area under the 17 foot circumference oaks and maple stands. Learn the history of the great rock in the woods along with the history of the homestead. Organic practices on the farm have brought back butterflies, dragonflies, birds, fox, deer and many other wonderful creatures. The homestead is a working farm with produce, chickens, turkeys, guinea fowl, ducks, goats and pigs watch all the farm activity from your campsite. The camping area is large enough for several tents while being secluded from life on the farm. Wonderful area to explore the 22 acres of woods or come visit the working 18 acres of organic farm land. Looking for both the quiet and some fun, we are located approximately two miles from the St. Clair river offering great restaurants, beaches, and shopping.

Camping on our Organic Farm

7 sites ¡ RVs, Tents138 acres ¡ North Branch, MI
WHAT'S NEW ON THE FARM IN 2023 This year we are expecting two foals (baby horses). One the end of April and one around the Fourth of July. We are also milking a family cow for our own milk as well. Her name is Daisy and her calfs name is Maple. Maple was born in March on the maple full moon. We do a calf share where the calf is with her mom part of the time and we are still able to milk her. Our mini horse, Annabell is now pulling a cart and giving rides! So much fun! We will have Great Pyrenees puppies from end of April through mid July. Come and spend some time with them! We also have two new additions to the farm. A pony mule, named Molly, in which I am planning to train to pull a cart and a cream colored pony, named Whinny as well, for riding. ABOUT DOREEN I’m an entrepreneur. I’m all about health and taking care of the mind, body and spirit. I’m an organic farmer, an animal nut, health coach, mindset mentor and Psych-K facilitator. I have six children and hosted three foreign exchange students. I love kids, animals (especially horses) and nature. I love anything and everything about health and personal growth and well being. ABOUT THE FARM We have a working, organic farm with a lot of animals, however, we also do crops as well. This particular farm is 138 acres with 8 acres of woods. We have working dogs, sheep, cattle, horses, a few ducks, chickens, a couple goats, a mini horse and outdoor cats on our farm. We have some super great animals. Most of which are very friendly. You never know what will be available to see on the farm when you visit. We are expecting a foal (baby horse) this summer (2021) and are already planning for another foal next summer as well. We often have puppies as well and sometimes we have to bottle feed lambs. There's never a dull moment. Our farm is unique in the way of having a very positive VIBE to it. The energy is awesome! It's really a space of tranquility and healing if you allow yourself to go there. After hosting with air bnb for a little over a year now, we decided to give this a try as well. We love hosting people and having them come to the farm and enjoy our way of life. It also helps to have a supplemental income as having and running a small family farm isn't very sustainable. Typically there's off the farm jobs to help pay for the farm life. It's a crazy equation. Small family farms are far and few between. Please support your local farmer if possible! It is greatly appreciated!

The 10 acre property was purchased by their grandparents in the 70's as vacant land where they designed and built their dream home and pond on the front two acres. While you'll drive through it to access the back 8 acres, the front two acres are currently leased to a long term tenant who isn't to be disturbed.Each year we're improving the property and adding amenities. We currently have 4 individual van or tent camping sites and a larger community site that could accommodate up to 3 small RV's, vans or up to 22' trailers. We're in the process of building a 200 sqft structure to be the "lounge" common area hangout next to the community fire pit. Most vehicles with normal ground clearance should be able to access without issue. Extended heavy rain has created mud in the past at the entrance where 4x4 could be necessary to get in and out after a storm. Drivable roads and camp areas on back 8 acres were bushes cleared about a year ago. While its mostly grass now, there are still short, sticks/roots sticking out in some areas where they haven't been cleared or decomposed yet but still comfortable to drive or walk.

The best camping near Lakeport State Park guide

Overview

About

Enjoy Lake Huron in comfort at Lakeport State Park! With varied camping and lodging options plus an on-site store providing snacks and supplies, you can concentrate on what’s important (i.e., perfecting your tan and squeezing all the pleasure you can from the beach during daylight hours). The nearby Port Huron State Game Area offers hiking and seasonal hunting, while a boat launch in Lexington to the north is the perfect getaway destination for fishers and boaters. The park of 550+ acres is split in the middle by the village of Lakeport and is open and beautiful year-round to serve your outdoor whims and needs.

When to go

The ideal time to visit Lakeport State Park is during the warmer months, from late spring to early fall, when the weather is pleasant for outdoor activities. Winter can be harsh, with some facilities possibly closed, so it's less suitable for a visit.

Know before you go

  • Ensure you have a Recreation Passport for park entry.
  • Check trail conditions and weather forecasts before your visit.
  • Be aware of park hours, typically from 8:30am to 5pm, and plan accordingly.
  • Remember to pack essentials like water, sunscreen, and insect repellent.
  • Stay informed about any seasonal closures or special events that might affect your trip.
