Peterman Farm is a beautiful spot! It's a very peaceful location on a dead-end road with no neighbors near the farmhouse. The views are lovely: rolling hills, beautiful sunsets and visiting deer. This was the perfect place to camp. Don't miss out on this spot!

Exactly what we were looking for! The campsite was secluded, and the area is very well maintained. Cabins are available to rent on Airbnb which worked out great for my FIL who doesn’t have a camper. Bathrooms were clean and cute.. Showers were hot. Yard games were available to use. This has to be one of the best hipcamps we’ve been to! A lot of thought has been put into this, and we are grateful to have experienced it. Thanks Jean!

Enjoyed camping on Jason's land. Lots of elbow room and easy pull in and set up. Nice little bathroom with shower available. Took our bikes into Alpena to ride some of the bike trails there and took a drive in the evenings in the Atlanta area in case we could see some Elk. Also nearby lakes to fish or kayak.

Beautiful, peaceful private property with lovely views surrounding it. There are two RV spaces, but I was there alone most of the time. Wendy was good at communicating and provided a suggestion of a local place to stop at. I will likely stop at Wendy's again the next time I'm in the area. I definitely recommend her property!

The campsite was easily accessible for our 20ft camper. The site was neat, clean and spacious. Firweood was available at the location, and bathrooms were clean. The campground is located a short drive from water activities and sight seeing.

Located off the paved road, via a gravel lane, is a tranquil and engaging campsite. There are two semi-level, gravel sites available, both of which offer full hookup facilities. It should be noted that the water source is shared between the two sites, with Site B being closer, although a hose of at least 30+ feet in length will be required. Site A is situated further away, approximately 75 feet across the driving path of both sites, making it likely that the hose will be run over. The sewer connection location is ideal, while the electric connection provides 15 or 50 amp options, with a requirement to dog-bone down to 30 amp. 50 ft electric cord was utilized in its entirety.
The sites are gravel and relatively level. A picturesque tree is situated in the middle of the U-shaped driveway, with branches hanging down, requiring caution when maneuvering the trailer. It is possible to enjoy a campfire beneath the tree.
Wendy was a great help. We had a question and she immediately answered it, via phone call. She took the time to call us and explain the water pump operation. Thank you!!!

My family had a fantastic stay here! Just what we were looking for: clean bathrooms, space for my kids to run and explore, within an hour of TONS of up north things to do. The hosts were extremely accommodating, allowing us to switch campsites to better fit our needs as well as lending us a heater on a colder-than-expected night.

Jason’s site was exactly as described super clean, clean bathroom and shower right next door also washer and dryer. He left the light on so we could see where we were going. We were able to level the class a Motorhome easily and hook up to the 30 amp power there is also 50% power. It is a lovely quiet spot and we were able to cycle into the town where we had a lovely meal at the diner. Portions are massive and we all left full. This is a great spot and we would love to stay again. Thank you to Jason.

Staying at Linda's was like hanging out with a long-lost friend. She is such a kind, caring and fun soul. Her property is beautiful -- the view of the creek from the top of the hill is amazing. The three camping spots are on the other side of the outbuildings, so there is privacy and plenty of space. There is a nice walking path which winds down the hill and by the creek. I would definitely recommend Linda's place!
Cell service: Verizon was usually at two bars.

We loved staying on Phil’s property! Gaining entry was no problem, and the view of the lake was beautiful, especially in the morning, with a light fog rolling across the water. The cleanest and best smelling porta potty I’ve ever been in!

42 ft fifth wheel
With pets
This spot was so peaceful! We thoroughly enjoyed our time here. A bit muddy upon arrival after pouring rain, so parking our 42’ fifth wheel was a bit challenging but doable. With dry packed dirt it would have been easy.
We loved the nearby Ocqueoc Falls and the hosts recommendation to go to the Party Store in Tower for pizza and ice cream was spot on.

We camped in our little travel trailer at Jewett Creek farm for little over a week and truly enjoyed this private peaceful place! Having a such a nice bathroom and even laundry was a wonderful amenity. And we had fun exploring the local area.

Oh, my, this place is just lovely! It is a huge corner lot and if you had kids, they could run and run and run! The view just relaxing around the fire was very serene. And the amount of firewood Jason leaves you was amazing. Neighbors across the street, you would not even know they were there. And the bathroom he built was so adorable. And yes, the water does smell like sulfur, but host lets you know it’s not potable, but my husband took a shower and he thought it was pretty good. What a great spot for jumping off to do other adventures. 3 miles from a boat landing that took us to one of the most beautiful places we have ever kayaked, if you turn left from the boat launch. We also found a launching spot in the little park in Hillman that took us on the north branch of the thunder Bay river that probably was the most gorgeous place we have ever been. Also went bike riding on the north eastern state trail. And on a day it rained all day and evening we went adventuring up to Rogers City and other places. This Hipcamp is centrally located for all kinds of things. Jason was an amazing communicator also. A great Hipcamp!

Would stay here again. Very secluded and perfect for our dogs. The only bummer was the mosquitoes, but we’d love to come back another time of the year when it’s not so buggy.

This spot was truly amazing! Very well maintained, clean, quiet and secluded.
Close to the falls and a gas station, my family and I will definitely be back again and have made a memory that will last a lifetime!
