Stories from the community

5 nights at Boondock Ridge

Our stay at Boondock Ridge is always great! The hosts are very accommodating and available if we ever need anything. The privacy, River views and cleanliness of the site is what keeps us coming back!

Weekend Trip to Footsteps From Frankenmuth

Easy access to the house & we had a great time! Bob helped us with anything we needed and the area was very secluded

Weekend Trip to Footsteps From Frankenmuth

Loved my stay here. Cool place to camp while visiting the attractions near by. The host couldn't be more kind. Beyond helpful. I would highly recommend!

4 nights at Green Acres

My husband and I had a great weekend staying in the rustic tent only sites. We were there for 4 nights. The sites were fairly big and ours had plenty of shade. There was just a couple hours where shade was slim. Overall, we would be happy to stay on James Property again! The bathrooms and communal kitchen were a surprise bonus for us! Although we did not use the kitchen or showers, having a fully operational bathroom was amazing. My only advice if you plan on camping here is to bring tools to break down wood. There is plenty of free wood to use around, but we didn't have the tools to break it down.

Weekend Trip to The Crow’s Nest

My hosts were warm, inviting, and gracious. Being a solo traveler can be scary sometimes but they made me feel right at home. Inviting me to their bonfire as well as offering to let me borrow their kayak plus a drive up the River. I cannot say enough good things about them. The wigwam itself was a unique experience and was very temperature controlled with a fan and comfortable beds. Be sure to bring your own pillows. I will definitely be back and with friends next time!

1 night at "Elysium Heritage Farm"

Awesome camping spot with a view of a walk bridge over a pond. We were greeted by a couple goats when we arrived. Many goats, chickens, rabbits and birds on the property to see. Lots of walk paths to explore. Nice walkway from campsite to a fire pit, grill, covered picnic area and little building with a compost toilet and sink inside. There are kayaks, canoes and a paddle boat to use on the little river. Kim is a fantastic person and a great host. We will definitely be back.

3 nights at Boondock Ridge

We had so much fun playing on the big lawn, going up and down the sandy bottom river, and enjoying the spectacular views. We hope to come again.

2 nights at Secord Lake Campground

A great campground when visit central Michigan, Bay City or Saginaw Bay. A very quiet campground. Our hosts Angela and Jim were fabulous and very helpful. A stay here would not be complete without a visit to nearby Gladwin.

Weekend Trip to "Elysium Heritage Farm"

We didn’t get to stay long, but It was beautiful! very private. Kim was a very kind and gracious host!

1 night at Boondock Ridge

The place was very nice and exactly as described! I wish there was a little less road noise, as it’s pretty loud with all the cars passing and the roadside park being right across the street. Other then that the dock and amenities provided was excellent.

Weekend Trip to "Elysium Heritage Farm"

Very clean space and welcoming! Wish it wasn’t raining the day we were there but none the less the kids made the best of it!

Weekend Trip to Lake Huron Wooded Retreat 🚗🏕️🏖️

Cute spot! It was a bit confusing to find at first but once I was settled I enjoyed my time. Some of the reviews had me nervous because I’m fairly picky when it comes to wanting an “in nature” experience- though you are fairly close to a road and not completely secluded in the middle of the woods, I thought the campsite itself still felt nice and private and gave me the woodsy feel. Unfortunately I can’t speak on the lake access.. I ended up spending the day in Tawas Point State Park. Anyway I thought it was a good spot 👍

3 nights at Camp Bear Paw

We love staying here. It’s very kid friendly and the hosts are beyond warm and welcoming. This place is beyond accommodating and really comfortable. This was our second year and we plan to come every year!

3 nights at Lake Huron Wooded Retreat 🚗🏕️🏖️

I loved the spot for the campsite. We could get into the site with our suburban. The walk to the beach did feel like walking through someone's back yard but it was a public road. We would definitely come back for the views!

Weekend Trip to Camp Bear Paw LLC

Kevin and Lori are simply the BEST! Bear paw was everything we needed our vacation to be and more! Their attention to details and amenities they provide for their guests can’t be beat!

Weekend Trip to Camp Bear Paw LLC

This is by far our family’s favorite place to camp! Kevin and Lori are wonderful hosts and bear paw is truly a special place! Our kids talk about our trips to bear paw all year long! We can’t wait to go back

Weekend Trip to "Elysium Heritage Farm"

Probably one if not the best camping experience we’ve had in a long long time. Kim is super friendly and helpful. The property is HUGE and beautiful, with loads to explore and look at. The spots they have are secluded and peaceful, you even get your own bathroom!! 10 out of 10 highly recommend giving this place a go!

Weekend Trip to Footsteps From Frankenmuth

Great place and great host Rob and his wife Chris were great.would give 10 out of 10. My kids and wife both enjoyed our 3 nights there.

Weekend Trip to "Elysium Heritage Farm"

We loved camping on Kim’s land! It was quiet and peaceful. We got a chance to feed one of the baby goats and it followed us all around the property which was so much fun! The site has a really nice area for a fire and a covered picnic table. The whole area is on wood chips so you don’t get quite as dirty which was really nice. We took some short walks on the property, did a little fishing, took the kayaks out, etc… Definitely recommend!!!

Weekend Trip to Footsteps From Frankenmuth

We had a great stay! We took our camper out for the first time and Rob was very helpful getting us set up. He quickly responded to any questions or requests we had. We would definitely come back! Thanks Rob!

Lake Huron Wooded Retreat 🚗🏕️🏖️

1 site · RV, Tent1 acre · Au Gres, MI

~ Newly Renovated June 2025 ~ Private One-Acre Campsite Near the Beach Enjoy a peaceful and affordable escape just minutes from Lake Huron with this one-acre private campsite in Au Gres, Michigan. When you book, you get the entire property to yourself—no other campers. The space is clearly marked with pink boundary flags and includes three roomy areas perfect for pitching tents, parking an SUV, or setting up a small campervan. Pop-up campers can fit, but space is tight and better for simple setups. The front of the property is grassy and open, while the rear features a wooded section with a short walking path. Behind the site is a larger wooded parcel that isn’t part of the Hipcamp, but it adds to the secluded, natural feel. Just a 4–5 minute walk brings you to a quiet public access point to Lake Huron. The road dead-ends at private homes, and between them is a public footpath to the beach. Before the shoreline, you'll find a small 20-yard-wide wooded area where our guests can set up chairs and enjoy the view—feel free to walk beyond to the sandy beach as well. A photo of this spot is included in the listing. While the campsite isn’t totally secluded—there are a few nearby homes and occasional daytime traffic—you’ll still enjoy full privacy on your acre with room to unwind, make a fire, and relax under the stars. This spot is best for couples or small groups looking for a low-key beach getaway close to nature and just 10 minutes from the shops and restaurants of Au Gres and Tawas City.

With a population of approximately 106,000 residents, it ranks as the 20th most populous county in the state, offering a vibrant community atmosphere. The governance of Bay County is structured around elected officials, including the Bay County Executive and a seven-member Board of Commissioners.
