Brian has an exceptional campground! Each site is different, well separated and surrounded by his beautiful forest. The stars are amazing at night, and if you pay attention, you can see deer, wild turkey, and owls.

Weekend Trip to Walnut Valley Realm Campground

We camped in the front of the camp site We had a nice spot and quiet. We took a trail and met other campers they were super friendly. The trails were really nice . We went to use the outhouse and a squirrel was in there, I ran so fast back the site I ran out of my shoes. I tried again later and a chipmunk ran across my foot . Needless to say we have a great story Host was awesone when bad weather was approaching. He even checked on us . Great visit and we will be back again.😆 🤣

The property has a little bit of everything for a wide variety of camp styles. The campsites are very well maintained. Even the trailways to the sites are kept in great condition. I was able to drive my Honda civic to my site without any issues at all. The woodland is very large. The trails were very enjoyable. Sites are spread out in ways that offer privacy, but the throughways create opportunities for connections with other families as well. Brian is super helpful and a pleasure to speak with. I definitely recommend this place. I will be going back someday for sure.

Brian is a down to Earth very nice guy! My brother and I camped Thu-Sat and thoroughly enjoyed the spacious, secluded, beautiful site! Brian is a VERY busy man but he took the time to stop by and chat with us a couple times. My brother and I also had a great time hiking the yellow and orange trails. We got some wonderful pics of the Fall colors. I made a 260 mile round trip to camp at Walnut Valley and will definitely do it again. One word of advice, it's named "Walnut" Valley for a reason. You may want to bring some kind of padding to lay on top of your vehicle to protect it from falling walnuts.

The property is very well maintained. It is a lovely property and Earl and Lisa were very responsive checking in on me to be sure I had firewood and delivering my eggs. It was nice having a hot shower and the bathroom was squeaky clean. I would definitely recommend this Hip Camp.

Brian has an amazing campground, The Mint is one of my favorites, surrounded by tall trees, it is a cozy spot, yet centrally located in the campground. Fall is beautiful in the woods, as the wildlife are out and about. I watched 8 deer strolling by as I was making my coffee.

This our 3rd time staying. A little of the beaten path but more than worth it for the peaceful tranquility and a great stopover on your way to Lake Michigan or the upper peninsula etc. Plenty of sites and lots of well maintained trails. Brian is super responsive and very friendly! The sites cost is appropriate, and he provides firewood bundles and hook up accessories at reasonable prices. 100% recommend..

Site 5 - perfect for a tent or a self-contained RV.

This site was exactly what we were looking for. Beautiful, quiet, clean, and great hosts. Even though we stayed during a very busy time for the hosts, Lisa still made time to meet us and fill us in on the big local event going on. We enjoyed the event and loved our stay!

Visited a couple times and plan to come back for as long as its available... Absolutely peaceful campsite with lots and lots of land. We were able to bring our dog as well. Brian was welcoming and didn't bother us none, but let us know he was there if we needed him. Can't wait to visit Again!!.
