Weekend Trip to Sheepy Acres

Very peaceful camping trip on titus' sheep farm. The 2 cabins and 2 tent sites are private no matter which one you choose. I would recommend this to anyone looking for some peaceful and private camping

Weekend Trip to The Haven with 5 Camp sites

Place was great with a great view of the river. Kat was very friendly and easy to communicate with. Would definitely go back again.

Weekend Trip to Sheepy Acres

Amazing time would recommend 1000 times over. Host was amazing and friendly. Nice weekend getaway.

3 nights at Gage Street Sanctuary

Nice quiet area, you don't hear much from the road traffic. You will see absolutely no one unless you go into town for anything. About 10 minutes from in-town Dowagiac, gas station, ice, or even dollar general if you need anything. Walkable trails, and plenty of fallen wood from the woods you have access to for fires. Plenty of options to pitch a tent, and area for dogs to run. Can't wait to come back.

1 night at Sleek Acres

My friend and I loved the night we spent at Earl&Lisa’s. It was our first night on the road and we planned to camp in our small tent in their garden, but there was a storm & hail coming. They offered us to stay in the camper since there wasn’t anyone in it, and even to come in the house if it started to be really windy or dangerous (we were under a tornado alert). They were so kind and helpful, I highly recommend to stay there, the little lake and the big garden were really cute! Thank you again :))

1 night at Sleek Acres

Me and my fiancé went tent camping here at site #1 and it was wonderful. They have a pond near all the sites and there’s a little sitting area with chairs in the sand to watch the ducks and fish. They also have chickens by the property. The outhouse was very clean and spacious, and was a short walk from our campsite. Lisa had shown us where we were staying and was super friendly and helpful! If I’m in the area again, we will definitely be camping here! 10/10 camping experience all around :-)

Weekend Trip to Sleek Acres

We loved it so much the first time, we returned for another relaxing night of great memories & campfires. Thank you, Earl & Lisa!

Weekend Trip to Sleek Acres

We’ve stayed at Sleek Acres twice now and it’s been such an amazing experience. Earl & Lisa are very welcoming and attentive. Their property is beautiful and their dog and ducks are welcoming too. Campsite 1 was where we stayed at. It’s near the other sites as well as the bathroom but it still has privacy to it. We highly recommend camping here!

Weekend Trip to Sheepy Acres

1 night at Sheepy Acres

Very hospitable and kind hosts. Titus went out of the way to make sure our stay was comfortable. My kids enjoyed playing with the kittens and watching the chickens and sheep. We couldn’t stay very long but we would love to come back and swim in the pond next trip.

1 night at Walnut Valley Realm Campground

What a great spot. The Cul de Sac is definitely a more remote site but I came out to do some hiking so that was exactly what I was looking for. The trails were well maintained, even with soggy weather and I found a few other sites I'd like to spend a few nights at next. Clean sites, beautiful property and if I'd had any questions I have no doubt Brian would have had an answer.

Weekend Trip to Camp Ames

Great hosts. Peaceful camping across from the river. Everything was as advertised. We would definitely stay again.

Weekend Trip to Sheepy Acres

Host was very pleasant, informative and flexible. We enjoyed both cabins, the pond and slide. Main bed very comfortable, others sufficient for kids. Sheep were cool to see, do know that cellphone reception is limited out there albeit better to just unplug anyways, great time

Weekend Trip to Sheepy Acres

Really unique spot! Easy to find with Hipcamp directions. Titus was super welcoming. He met us at the barn, gave a quick tour, and led us to the site by golf cart. Hawk Roost was private, shaded, and clean. The tent pad barely fit our large tent but worked fine. We loved the wood chips around camp to keep it dry. Bathrooms were clean, potable water was about 100 yards away, and firewood was generously provided. He even delivered more during our stay when we needed it. It is a working pasture with sheep, so expect some strong smells and poop throughout the trails and camp roads. It didn’t bother us, but it’s worth noting. Our dog had the time of her life running around off-leash in the fenced-in pasture and having stare-downs with the sheep. There was some distant noise like sirens and machinery, but otherwise it was peaceful and full of birdsong. We would absolutely come back, especially with a group. It’s a great mix of rustic and thoughtful.

Weekend Trip to Blooming Bus Farms

We had the best family weekend thanks to Melissa, and this great stay! She was so caring and kind, I had some fear of being late when arriving because we were heading up after work and she offered to light our tikis for us, we also were welcomed by beautiful flowers and a cute welcome sign.

Weekend Trip to Camp David

Stayed here with some friends and their two dogs, us our two as well. It was a one night stay and it was a gloomy, rainy weekend. But still so peaceful and enjoyable. Plenty of space to tent camp near the river and space for dogs to roam safely. We really enjoyed this space and David’s hospitality is unmatched.

Weekend Trip to Camp David

David's Cabin was perfect for a low-key weekend with our friends and dogs. The trees and water were beautiful, the cabin was cozy, and it was so peaceful. Just what we needed.

Weekend Trip to The Haven with 5 Camp sites

My family and i really enjoyed this location. Not sure if it was the time of year but we had run off the whole place. We stayed at camp 1 that gave us direct access to the shared doc but recommend site 3 of your looking for a more secluded space. The host was very attentive, shared local places to check out and shared firewood. While a local road was near, the loudest things around was the turkey somewhere in the distance. As a note that was not loud at all. We will absolutely plan a return trip and suggest this place.

Mulln-Heim Vineyards

3 sites · RVs, Tents40 acres · Baroda, MI

This is a 3rd generation "Family Farm" of a different sort I suppose. Seems there's a bit of everything here, and arguably not enough of anything. At least for conventional farming. So we've learned to do things a bit differently.Our main crop is wine and juice grapes since our topography, climate, and soil type makes it a premier location for that. But with 30+ acres of forested hillsides, low ground, and natural areas we've evolved into a mixed farm and forest enterprise. Our goal is to utilize the productivity of all our property while still retaining the basic character and usefulness of the wild areas. Letting each thing be what it wants to be and does best on it's own. Flow, not force.So our year starts early with tapping maple trees and making maple syrup. Plus there's grape trimming about this time as well. When the forest floor starts to green up a bit later, we start digging Ramps, or Wild Leeks in the woods. Most of these will go to the more trendy Chicago restaurants, but we also have some local sales. Next comes inoculating winter-cut logs with Shiitake spawn for next years mushroom production. This year we also conducted a few hands-on workshop seminars on mushroom growing as well. Then it's on to our raised bed herb & veggie gardens. (Fresh herbs are just so much fun to cook with!) We grow enough for our own yearly use, as well as some for direct sales. Summer keeps us busy tending all the different crops here and trying to keep up. But there's that steady progression of fresh veggies to eat. Yum !!! Fall brings our annual Grape U-Pick in September and October. And we try to time related crops like mums, pumpkins, and gourds for this same time frame. Makes the place a bit more interesting. Late fall is when we bring in firewood to heat the house and workshop. Stacks of wood everywhere. Hopefully before the 1st snow. In winter it's time to fire up the woodworking shop and be a bit creative. Build furniture, equipment maintenance, who knows what next years projects will include. I like to keep everybody guessing.So, that's what goes on here. You're welcome to check it out, lend a hand, relax back at camp, walk the vineyards and/or forest, or just breathe and relax. That's up to you. But I would recommend visiting a few of the fine local wineries. Seems there's a festival going on at one or another of them just about every weekend. Good music, good wine, good times. And there's the Lake Michigan beaches a few miles down the road.Yeah, this is a pretty casual place here, love meeting new people, very open to civil discussions of all sorts.However, rude, ill mannered people will probably enjoy staying elsewhere. Just say'n.

For 10 days each July, Peru celebrates the Circus City Festival with rides, crafts, food, games, and more. The highlight, however, is the live amateur circus that has performances throughout the festival. A unique and authentic experience that echoes the early heyday of the circus, this is a fun event not to be missed. Performers are locals, some of whom are direct descendants of professional performers in the earlier shows. Even if a visit is timed to occur outside of July, a visit to the small but impressive International Circus Hall of Fame might be worth the trip.

The Riding Stable and Resort

7 sites · Tents15 acres · Lakeville, IN

When we bought this property in 2013, it was a little run down. Many years ago, it housed sheep and cows. We revamped our little 15-acre farm and continue to improve its looks. Now it is our home and houses my riding stable. Many people have commented on how nice it is. I thought this would be a great opportunity to share its beauty and the animals with others. Learn more about this land: We have 3 spots to pitch a tent, but we're pretty flexible. If you see another area, please ask!. Site "Woods" is most secluded. We now have a cabin!! Our "Chalet". It will sleep 4 and has some great amenities. The others are around our grassy barnyard area where you're able to enjoy all of our different animals!. All sites are 2-5 mins from the main house. You will be staying on our horse farm. We have many chickens, bunnies, a potbelly pig, feeder pigs (depending on the time of year), and our 4 house dogs. We offer overnight equine amenities as well. There are 2 showering options and restroom available. You can enjoy a small fire (weather dependent) or listen to the crickets and frogs under the starry night. Actually, you can do it all. We offer trail rides on the horses as well, (extra charges). You can even book a trip to the state park to ride the horse trails, which is only 15 minutes away. There is a great fishing lake less than 1 mile from the farm, so bring your poles and kayaks. Or rent ours! There is a Dollar General, 2 gas stations, and a liquor store in our tiny little town if you forget anything. Walmart is 12 minutes North of us.
