As a relaxed naturalist, I'm developing this wooded land into an Intentional community. Although there's no running water, ample water storage and bottled water are available. The terrain is hilly and scenic, offering abundant wildlife and hiking. Pets may be off-leash if supervised. Bonfires are permitted in fire rings, but caution is advised. Feel free to bring ATVs and dirt bikes for trail riding. Generators are allowed, and bonfire wood is provided, so there's no need to bring your own. Should you choose to camp outside designated sites, please clean up the area. Respect for others is paramount in this non-judgmental space, and mutual respect is expected. The campground welcomes tobacco and marijuana use; however, please dispose of all filters properly. The night sky here is a must-see, with stunning stars. Children are welcome but must always be accompanied by an adult. There's a gas station and dollar general less than 5 minutes away!!

Nice spot with a concrete pad not too far from 31. A bit of road noise, but it quieted down at night. I was there for a quick stay, so, unfortunately, I didn't get a chance to enjoy the trails.

Leslie was a lovely host and the land was a perfect spot to look at the stars and get out of the city, not too far from downtown and the beach. It was perfect.

Camp Squid was such a peaceful and cozy escape. We felt tucked away in the pines, and it was the perfect place to slow down and breathe for a bit. We set up our hammocks and fell asleep surrounded by trees and soft sunlight peeking through, it was such a calm and comforting atmosphere.
The outdoor shower ended up being one of our favorite parts. It was our first time trying one, and it made the trip feel even more special. We also really appreciated not having to worry about firewood when we arrived. It’s clear the host puts a lot of thought into making the experience easy and enjoyable.
She was so kind and checked in to make sure we were doing okay, which meant a lot. We’re already looking forward to coming back and sharing this little hidden gem with our friends.

Great spot! Were used to bush camping in national parks, but when you are going into public during the day, a hot shower is a must. This place does that well.
Bring bug spray as I imagine you would anywhere in Michigan this time of year. Otherwise, you’re all set!

An absolutely lovely place! Warm and kind hosts made us feel welcome, and the place itself was very easy to set up in, with well maintained full hook ups. The location was great for our needs, very quiet and relaxing and surprisingly enough, the cell reception was very good too. If we ever come back this way we will make sure to stop here again.

Thank you Leslie! What a lovely welcome from your parents and you! What a perfect spot (with full hook up)😊 to navigate from. We had family in town, so were away to the 4th of July fireworks, parade and then lake Michigan swim and beach time. Quiet and serene location!
