Weekend Trip to Bracy Gold Bison Ranch

Such a great experience. Very peaceful and private. Stacy is incredibly nice and generous.

Weekend Trip to Bracy Gold Bison Ranch

Stacy is so nice and was so generous. The spot was very peaceful and private. The property is beautiful. We couldn’t have asked for more. Will definitely be back.

Weekend Trip to Be Wild and Free

Super simple directions. Wide open land. We had to fight of the raindrops, but there were a couple dry”er” spots available. Saw a handful and sandhill cranes, deer and turkeys!

Weekend Trip to Carlandia CannaCamp

We had a wonderful time, Carl was an excellent host! The campsite was beautiful, and the outhouse was honestly very nice despite being an outhouse. We loved seeing the bunnies on the walk there. Carl was very accommodating and checked in on us a few times, and did us a huge favor when we were in a pinch. We'll for sure be back when the weather is a bit warmer :)

Weekend Trip to Tom and Julie's Place

And it’s absolutely perfect for our group. From the communication to the lay of the land and the outhouse, the site has everything you need for a great night of camping. The site is open enough to play catch, frisbee or any kind of lawn game. Plenty of trees to hammock and plenty of flat areas to tent. There is a sled where you park so you can pull your gear to the site, we appreciated that. Just an overall great experience with thoughtful hosts!

Weekend Trip to Bracy Gold Bison Ranch

Great experience, secluded campsite. Beautiful view of stars at night. Make sure you buy some burgers or steaks to grill, they were both amazing.

Weekend Trip to The Cranes Nest

I had a great time tent camping at the cranes nest. The sites were awesome and we had a great relaxing weekend!!

Weekend Trip to Tails and Trails Horse Farm

We loved Tails and Trails horse farm!! The campsite was very clean, and the owners couldn’t have been more friendly and kind. they showed us around the property, and we were greeted and escorted everywhere we went by either a sweet farm pup or a donkey! lmao yall, we camped here in below freezing temperatures and STILL had a ball!! my partner is a horse girl so surprising her with a meet and greet with the minis was a highlight of the trip! don’t sleep on this place, kirsten and her homestead is the place to stay when traveling through michigan!

2 nights at Mulligan's Valley in the Woods

Hi, everyone. This isn't a camping 🏕️ ground's it's a magical forest:) this was the best experience of my life. I felt so safe and warm. The trees are beautiful. The animals, were so kind but they kept a safe distance. The outhouse was super clean. I had a hard time setting up my tent and the staff,were super cool, they help us set up camp. I literally can't express, the experience. Go visit. My children were safe. No hazards or lose trees. There lays a beautiful trail perfectly detailed. I wished, I actually, lived at this, campground. It was like the trees were protecting our from the nasty outside world. We forgot about everything bad. I have never gotten better sleep in my life. I give this place 5 starts. A+ ++

Weekend Trip to Treasure Hunt Treehouse

We had an excellent time there the host was great would definitely go again

1 night at Breathe in Silence & Serenity

Such a beautiful site! Dori and her son are super accommodating. We will definitely be back.

Weekend Trip to Waymeet Homestead

We made a spontaneous decision to do a winter tent camping trip and immediately wanted to try this because the tent had a stove already. Jason was very gracious to accommodate us. We brought wood and blankets, but he also gave us extra blankets and started us with a pile of wood as well. He even setup an area heater to keep us warm while we got the stove up and running to heat the tent, which was very thoughtful. The stove heated the tent really nicely. We also had a great time exploring the grounds and meeting the Yaks. Overall it was a great experience and we will be back in the Spring to check out the other sites around the natural pool!

1 night at Nature and Nurture Farm

We spent a night at Michael's place for a video shooting project and it was great experience! Michael gave us a tour upon arrival and it was very informative. There is an electrical hookup on site and away from the house which gave us privacy. And the portapotty nearby was very clean. Michael was very responsive and helpful when we had questions later that day. Highly recommended anyone wanting to enjoy the nature while still having the convenience of electrical hookup.

1 night at Bracy Gold Bison Ranch

This is a great getaway. Super quiet spot under the stars. Lots of walk paths to explore the property. Chickens greet you on your drive in. Horses and bison roaming in the fields. Stacy is a super nice host.

Weekend Trip to Breathe in Silence & Serenity

Host communicated clearly, site was clean, relaxed, and quiet.

Weekend Trip to Boone Farm & Forest

It’s perfect rustic camping. Exactly as described. Highly recommend.

2 nights at 34Long Haul Flower Farm

We loved the seclusion - it's an isolated area even though it's very close to the house. Doug is really nice, and everything went really well. Highly recommend!

1 night at What a Treat!

Great place for a quick overnight quiet safe secure, and friendly would stay again and recommend to others.

1 night at Mulligan's Valley in the Woods

Absolutely gorgeous, the host was top notch. Firewood delivered, welcoming, clean and orderly property. The best hip camp experience yet. A+++.

EarthColors Farm

2 sites · Tents26 acres · Manchester, MI

The name of our farm- EarthColors came about because I have not only fruits and vegetables but also grow a variety of plants and flowers that can be used as natural dyes. Our property was part of another farm that was split off because 18 acres is a conservation area which is non farmable land. We are lucky because it lay neglected for decades and never had gmo crops planted on it. I grow everything organically and our free ranging hens get only non-gmo grains.

If you are planning to arrive after 9 PM, please send us a message letting us know. We decide on a case by case basis since we prefer not to have late arrivals.

34Long Haul Flower Farm

3 sites · RVs, Tents5 acres · Chelsea, MI

Long Haul Farm is an organic flower farm in Chelsea, MI dedicated to sustainably growing plants, family, community, and soil biology for generations, the long haul! --- 2024 update ---- R We are doing less flower growing that we did before, as life has taken us to work outside of our own space. However, we've shifted to more stewardship on our property and the adjacent preserve. We'd love to guide you on a hike and teach about the local ecology, flora, and fauna too! The goats and chickens continue to provide joyful entertainment as well. --- AN OFFERING --- Acknowledging that this land was unceded by the people who previously occupied it, we're offering that anyone with indigenous ancestry can stay for reduced rates, just message us and ask! -------- History -------- Growing up, I used to come here to visit my great-aunt & uncle's horse ranch. My great uncle grew up visiting his great uncle who was one of the first in our family on this land. They were animal and nature lovers, and in their retirement, sold 130 acres to The Nature Conservancy, all of which is now protected as a county nature preserve. Unfortunately, 11 years ago, my great-uncle and aunt had passed, and we had to sell the family land. Serendipitously, as we were looking for a farm homestead to move to, we reconnected with the owners of the land, and they were just deciding to sell it. My family was able to buy back the family land and continue the legacy. -------- Onwards ---- Kathryn and I are restarted our cut-flower farm and hoping to develop a permaculture inspired orchard and keep chickens and pigs. We love living here surrounded by extensive state and county parks and recreation land, while still being close enough to Chelsea and Ann Arbor for all that they provide. Our aim is to create a safe, inclusive, and enjoyable atmosphere for our visitors. We hope to provide a refuge in nature and perhaps even some education of flowers or wildlife. Join us in carrying on the legacy of family land stewardship and love for natural spaces! - Doug (he/him/his) & Kat (she/her/hers) & Phoebe (3yr old - She/they TBD)

At our ranch, we prioritize working harmoniously with the land, fostering the return of native flora and fauna to our property. Situated a few miles north of Swanton, our land, once used for standard crops, has undergone a transformation. After five years, we proudly boast an array of accomplishments, including the identification of over 25 different bird species in a single morning, an increase in local native pollinator populations (including the monarch butterfly), and a reduction in soil erosion. Join us on this journey as we invite you to experience the beauty of nature, the magnificence of bison, and the positive impact of sustainable practices on our land.

34Long Haul Flower Farm

3 sites · RVs, Tents5 acres · Chelsea, MI

Long Haul Farm is an organic flower farm in Chelsea, MI dedicated to sustainably growing plants, family, community, and soil biology for generations, the long haul! --- 2024 update ---- R We are doing less flower growing that we did before, as life has taken us to work outside of our own space. However, we've shifted to more stewardship on our property and the adjacent preserve. We'd love to guide you on a hike and teach about the local ecology, flora, and fauna too! The goats and chickens continue to provide joyful entertainment as well. --- AN OFFERING --- Acknowledging that this land was unceded by the people who previously occupied it, we're offering that anyone with indigenous ancestry can stay for reduced rates, just message us and ask! -------- History -------- Growing up, I used to come here to visit my great-aunt & uncle's horse ranch. My great uncle grew up visiting his great uncle who was one of the first in our family on this land. They were animal and nature lovers, and in their retirement, sold 130 acres to The Nature Conservancy, all of which is now protected as a county nature preserve. Unfortunately, 11 years ago, my great-uncle and aunt had passed, and we had to sell the family land. Serendipitously, as we were looking for a farm homestead to move to, we reconnected with the owners of the land, and they were just deciding to sell it. My family was able to buy back the family land and continue the legacy. -------- Onwards ---- Kathryn and I are restarted our cut-flower farm and hoping to develop a permaculture inspired orchard and keep chickens and pigs. We love living here surrounded by extensive state and county parks and recreation land, while still being close enough to Chelsea and Ann Arbor for all that they provide. Our aim is to create a safe, inclusive, and enjoyable atmosphere for our visitors. We hope to provide a refuge in nature and perhaps even some education of flowers or wildlife. Join us in carrying on the legacy of family land stewardship and love for natural spaces! - Doug (he/him/his) & Kat (she/her/hers) & Phoebe (3yr old - She/they TBD)

EVENTS; LARGE GROUPS - We are hosting events! Graduation parties, small weddings, family reunions, you name it. You can rent the whole campground for a day a night, a weekend, or a whole week if that suits your need. Just send us a message and we can talk about it. We can also accommodate large groups at a single campsite or you can rent several of them. Our primary guideline is that if your event will be held while other campers are here, it cannot disturb them. So, consider renting the whole campground: we can work with you on a reasonable price. IMPORTANT NOTICE 1 - If you book a site for the Labor Day Weekend, please be advised that a neighbor holds a camping event at the same time and there will be some noise from 4 wheelers on their property. If this kind of activity wouldn't bother you then feel free to come stay with us! We'd love to have you. IMPORTANT NOTICE 2: Please plan to arrive and set up camp between 3 and 9 PM. If you are planning to arrive after 9 PM, please send us a message letting us know. We decide on a case by case basis since we prefer not to have late arrivals. In any event we do not accept arrivals after 11 PM except in an emergency since many campers and your host may have already gone to bed.

Camping near Ann Arbor guide

Overview

Ann Arbor sits in southeast Michigan, about an hour west of big-city Detroit. The area is fairly rainy year-round and gets quite chilly in winter, so summer visitation is recommended. From May to September, you'll see a comfortable temperature range of about 70 to 85 degrees. Pickney Recreation Area is about a 30-minute drive northeast from Ann Arbor proper. This one's a great stop if you're looking for a range of hiking experiences. Hit the light hills of the 2-mile Silver Lake Trail for a quiet walk. The 5.1-mile Crooked Lake Trail is more highly trafficked and makes a better choice for bikers. Head straight north on US-23 for about an hour to reach Seven Lakes State Park. This area is marked by particularly verdant farmland and forests. With a total of 230 acres of water, there's also plenty of shoreline here. Haas Lake Park features an RV park appealingly laid out among four spring-fed lakes. Swimming and fishing are both popular, though only non-motorized boats are allowed on the water. Feel like a bit of friendly competition instead? The park hosts a two-hole golf course, basketball courts, and a volleyball pit.
