The camping site was very nice. Samuel had wood and water available for us to use. The location was close to TC and torch lake and other area lakes. We will camp there again. Thank you for letting us use your property.

Great location between Traverse City and the Chain of Lakes. There are a couple of firepits with plenty of open area around for setting up tents or campers, and an outhouse near one them. One of the trails south of Samuel’s property goes up to the top of a large hill, and has a great view of the lakes.

Great acreage! 60 acres of an old Christmas tree farm and backing up to state forests/2 track roads ,views of the surrounding lakes from some spots, sooths the soul. We walked all over enjoying mother nature Our site, which included the only workable pit toilet was awesome even though near the power lines. The outhouse was home/hand made and quite unusual and very clever. Bring some toilet paper. Plenty of wood to skunk for. Host will tell you where. The other fire pit site which had a "potty" is not workable right now but this property is a work in progress. But quieter.
Cons: The noise from M72 traffic was not enjoyable. If the wind blows from the south, it's not too bad, but if calm or wind from north, the noise at our spot was quite noticeable. We wanted to leave that back home in the city. Also, there are no picnic tables so be prepared. The host said he might have some kind of table he could bring. Work in progress. Sites are hard to find up 2 track hilly roads with ridges but host will be happy to lead you in.
Great stuff: Lovely views and so, so close to many activities. spent most of our time kayaking / hiking/walking. The hosts were above amazing. Many questions asked and answered quickly ahead of time due to personal needs and the brother hosts were so very kind. They also left us a little basket of veggies from their garden /small bottle of their homemade maple syrup. And we got to hear coyotes howling /yipping! we loved that !!

Samuel replied to our questions about the site very promptly before we booked the stay for our 10-person group, and we loved that we had the freedom to pick any spot on this beautiful large property. His brother met us upon arrival and showed us the freshly mowed area with a new fire ring and - get this - a brand new outhouse! We had no reason to look for alternative spots and set up our tents there for four nights, thankful for such great accommodations! Being able to get a bucket of water from the host’s garden hose was very convenient for showering and washing dishes. There is one spot with a great view of lake Skegemog, and we loved being so close to the boat launch on that lake.

Coming back next year!
We really enjoyed our stay here, the host were very accommodating and helpful. The spot we got to stay at was beautiful, lots of large trees and trails for dirtbikes/atvs. The kids had a lot of fun and pets are welcome as well. I would highly recommend this to anyone looking for a place to go that’s comfortable and secluded/private, it’s great for family outings and can accommodate a large group. I will definitely be returning to camp here.
