My 4 and a half acres have a natural pond on it. I no longer own a personal flock of ducks but plenty of wild feathered friends come to drink and swim. I am three miles from Lake Michigan and my town has a public access beach. I am surrounded by wineries, breweries, and antique stores. I am in the country but only a few miles off the expressway. Berrien County's adorable small towns are known for their special events all year round. My sites are dispersed so first come first choice. Find a fixed Fire Ring and set up your camp! Or pick a spot without a ring - I do have portable free fire pits.

Weekend Trip to The Once a Pond A Time Campsites

I loved the area and Cherisse's land was so nice and peaceful. I will definitely be recommending it for my travel trailer rental BC TRAVENTURE CO on Outdoorsy. The place is 4 min from the Warren Dunes and Molly's beach walk cafe was a cute small brunch spot. Rising Kites coffee spot on oak was also great. A ton of wine spots to try. The actual campsite was easy and very peaceful. They have wildlife we had an owl hangout at night. Overall great spot. If you want easy, laid back, low tech spot. We went to unplug for a weekend it was perfect.

The land was incredibly clean and felt very welcoming. The location was perfect, only a five-minute drive from the beach, which made our day so easy. We also loved the friendly community atmosphere; we even got to fish with other kids staying, which was a highlight! Cherisse's property is truly fantastic for families. The wide-open space was perfect for the kids to run around and play football without bothering anyone. The real gem, though, was the catch-and-release pond. My four-year-old son, after trying all summer, finally caught his first fish here, it was such a special moment! We also really enjoyed the fire pit for making s'mores in the evening. We're already looking forward to our next stay!

Great location in proximity to Warren Dunes and the surrounding area. We camped here last minute on a holiday weekend and it worked out great. It is a field adjacent to the host’s home. Each site has a fire ring but no tables. We were able to use our cooler as one but would recommend bringing one if you plan on doing any meals/ cooking. Not very private when multiple groups are there, however in a pinch it was perfect. We enjoyed the star gazing and appreciated the clean bathroom. Great home base for exploring the area!

Lovely grass site with fire pits around a lake. We had an RV so manoeuvred into a relatively level area. There are no predetermined sites you just pitch where you want to. We were the only campers on both occasions with only the sound of nature around us. We heard the train and sone vehicles on the road but they were minor background noise. Thoroughly recommend visiting this site, very peaceful and Cherisse is a lovely lady

Very nice campsite next to a small pond. Ground was flat and mowed short. No electricity or water. Porta potty on site. Some outdoor games available for the kids. Nice spot to spend the night.

The campsite itself was beautiful — peaceful, well-maintained, and surrounded by plenty of trees. We had a group of 10 with plenty of room still amongst other campers who were also there. You could tell Cherisse takes good care of the location! awesome place 10/10

I liked it there. You will like it there. Bullfrogs can be quite loud so if you're a light sleeper choose a site behind the barn maybe.

We had such a great time on Cherisse's campground! It's a small area with trees for shade, lots of fire pits (cooking grates included!), a large and well-maintained port-a-potty, and some swings at the edge of a small pond on the property. The sunrises were gorgeous and so were the sunsets. I would definitely come back here again!

I love tent camping on this property. It’s beautifully cared for. The tent sites are good sized with new clean fire rings and cooking grates. The property is so close the beach ant Warren Dunes and hiking at Warren Woods. Cherisse is a wonderful host.

This property was super pretty and well maintained! The pond was really nice and the grass was mowed. There were new fire rings placed around and we chose one close to the pond. Very quiet as we were the only campers there for the one night we stayed. The portapotty was pristinely clean in all aspects and well stocked with a hand washing station and sanitizer. It's just a few miles from Warren Dunes beach and Weko beach and lots of wineries. We will definitely be back.
