Weekend Trip to Sleeping Bear Retreat

I loved camping here. The teepees are such a great retreat, I chose one with power which was a luxury. Enjoyed cooking over a fire with my own picnic table nearby. Even set up my hammock behind the teepee with some well placed trees. The bathrooms were very well maintained and even had an outdoor sink to wash hands and a separate large sink to clean dishes. The grounds are lovely and I will definitely be back to camp again.

This was a perfect glamping experience. We definitely wanna come back, but bring our family and friends too! Plus, it’s super convenient to be 10 mins away from downtown with shops and restaurants.

This was our first Hipcamp visit so far and we were not disappointed at all! Very unique campsite and lots of things to do for the kids. It was very private and we didn’t see or hear much from anyone. We definitely recommend checking it out and we will definitely be back for the haunted trail in October. A+ experience

Weekend Trip to Sleeping Bear Retreat

This was such a fun & unique way to camp! The wagon is very spacious and tall enough for my 6'3" husband to walk around in! There were 2 cots and 2 twin mattresses on bedframes. They also had a table and 2 chairs. The bathrooms (real plumbing!) were very close to the covered wagon and they were very clean! We were here in March and the overnight temps were in the low 40s. It was definitely cold and I wouldn't recommend going until it's a bit warmer overnight! During the day it was very comfortable though! The campsite is very close to downtown French Lick and we were able to stop for a coffee and a view of the hotels on our way out of town!
