We bought this property in 2012 and have built several buildings and forged paths throughout the 32 acres. Our road is part of the North Country Trail, a footpath stretching over 4,600 miles from Middlebury in central Vermont to Lake Sakakawea State Park in central North Dakota.
While tearing down the existing house, we constructed two bedrooms in the pole barn for a quick living space. Once settled in the pole barn, we a built a small log cabin with already felled timbers from the local woods, except for the box frame which was purchased from the local Amish. Prior to building our permanent log cabin home, this small cabin was our camp site and is now being rented to people that want to relax and enjoy the outdoors. In the middle of the woods, we created a campground to be enjoyed by hikers and on the North side of our property is a tree line between two fields that is a great small camper/tent camping spot.

🌲 Backwoods River Camp – Reading, Michigan 🌲
Escape to southern Michigan’s countryside at Backwoods River Camp. Set on acres of rolling hills, wildflower meadows, shady forests, and a peaceful river, this camp is perfect for anyone looking to unwind, explore, and reconnect with nature.
✨ What you’ll find here:
Scenic trails through mature woods – great for hiking, biking, or a quiet stroll.
Equestrian-friendly camping – bring your horse for rides across fields and forest paths (boarding available).
River adventures – go tubing, cast a line for fishing, or cool off in the water.
Nearby lakes – just minutes away for boating, kayaking, and swimming.
Wildlife & stargazing – watch deer and songbirds by day, fireflies and star-filled skies by night.
⛺ Ways to stay:
Pitch a tent in the meadows
Park your camper in an open space (leveling may be needed)
Camp alongside your horse
At night, gather around a campfire, swap stories, and enjoy the peace of being tucked away in nature. Each season brings new beauty—spring wildflowers, summer riverside fun, autumn colors, and year-round stargazing.
📍 Location: Conveniently close to Reading, MI, yet far enough to feel truly off the grid.
Backwoods River Camp isn’t just a campsite—it’s an experience. Come for the fields, forests, and riverbanks. Stay for the quiet, the wildlife, and the memories.

Located halfway between Chicago and Detroit in the heart of Amish country, we are a third generation regenerative hay and multi-species farm. Your rustic, riverside campsite with unobstructed sunset views over our organic hay field awaits. Enjoy relaxing by the peaceful Fawn River. Bring your Michigan fishing license and when you're done rounding up your catch of the day, relax by the campfire while it cooks. Please note that Michigan Hunting Season may require that you set up camp near the homestead rather than by the woods. If you have any questions, please ask.
Local attractions include a world-renowned flea market, Amish-Mennonite Museum, Amish bulk food store, gift shops of all kinds, restaurants, dinner theater, paved bike paths, soft pretzels, ice cream, and so much more.
*Camping only available near buildings during hunting season October 1, 2025 - January 1, 2026. *

What a blessing to have found this spot on my epic road trip! From the moment I made my reservation, the communication was excellent and responsive. Even though I arrived late in the evening, my hosts came out to greet me personally and made sure I had absolutely everything I needed for a comfortable night’s rest.
Their genuine warmth and care went above and beyond typical hosting - they truly created a safe, welcoming space for a solo traveler like myself. The morning brought an extra delightful surprise when they checked in on me and I got to meet the adorable newborn goats!
This is exactly the kind of authentic connection that makes Hipcamp experiences so special. I’m deeply grateful to have crossed paths with such wonderful people who create not just a place to park, but a true sanctuary for weary travelers. If your journey brings you this way, you’ll be in excellent hands.
Highly recommend! 🌟

I can’t speak highly enough about Dave and Shari Graber. They were incredibly hosts that made us feel like family. From a true farm experience to amazing kayaking and fishing, we did not want to leave. Just a great time with great people.

To start the directions were easy and Shari and David were there to great us. They have a couple hundred acres and the camp site is in the back 40... which they led the way to our beautiful spot by the river. There were plenty of parking options for our trailer to which we backed in under the trees. There is fresh water, picnic table, fire pit and garbage can. There are kayaks available for use in the river...WOW! Sunrises and sunsets were spectacular. It is completely hidden from any civilization. Great place to camp!

Shari and David were incredible hosts. If you want a no frills, beautiful, private, and unique stay, stay here. We will absolutely seek to stay here again if we are in the area. We had travel troubles and didn’t arrive until midnight and they stayed awake to meet us and guide us to our spot. We were grateful for their hospitality, flexibility, and understanding. An absolutely awesome stay!
