🛶 🎣 🏊♀️ This slice of paradise has activities galore! We provide kayaks, a paddleboat, a fishing rowboat, tubes/inflatables, life vests, fishing poles & tackle, and even a kid's log cabin playhouse, all included with your stay. The lake is home to panfish (bluegill, sunfish, etc), perch, large mouth bass, pike, possibly walleye and trout. Just a few miles away are the renowned Pere Marquette River and Baldwin River.
🐕 We accept your canine best friend! With pre-approval and the added fee, we accept up to 2 dogs. We provide dog supplies such as a crate, food bowls, tie-outs, couch cover, and toys. Enjoy walks with your dog around the lake or on the Pere Marquette State Trail just across the street!
💧Soak in the hot tub overlooking the lake to melt away stress and body aches.
🧘♀️ Relax and detoxify in the infrared cedar sauna inside the bunkhouse.
🔥🪵Enjoy late-night chats by the fire pit with string lights as you sink into those comfy tamarack chairs or the hammock. Be mesmerized by the dancing flames as you look out over the lake. Roast marshmallows, watch the sunset, and count the stars.
🧩Just a few feet from the cabin is a 3-season bunkhouse that can sleep up to four people (bunk bed with trundle). It includes the infrared cedar sauna, games, puzzles, toys, and many supplies for the lake. Just imagine the kids' faces lighting up as they discover the magic of this space!

Hidden Pond & River Oasis

Choices abound on this secluded, approximately 14-acre property, which hosts only one campsite. Float on the pond, fish in the middle branch of the Pere Marquette River, hike the trails on the property, or roam in the adjoining 600-acre tract of national forest—it's all up to you. Whatever you decide, you won't run out of outdoor recreational opportunities at our very private wilderness oasis.
Upon arrival, you'll receive an access code to unlock the gate, which protects a long driveway leading into the heart of the campsite. A mowed area, perfect for pitching your tent, overlooks private Beaver Lake and is also the location of a fire ring, a picnic table, and an electrical outlet.
Beaver Lake is an approximately six-acre body of water that we consider more of a pond. While we find the lake too swampy, shallow, and pond-like for swimming, we enjoy floating on it in rafts. Kayaks, canoes, or small fishing boats are also appropriate. A steep hill leads down to the shore, so watercraft must be small enough to carry by hand. Spring-fed holes on the west side of the lake have yielded small bass.
A path to the north leads to the middle branch of the renowned Pere Marquette River. Spring-fed, the river stays cold year-round. Anglers should be sure to have proper licensing before fishing. Wading in the river is refreshing but must be undertaken with caution due to the rapid current and deep holes.
The majority of the property is heavily wooded, and wildlife abounds. The land offers several short hiking trails marked with blazes: a trail around the lake, a path to the river, and a trail bordering the Manistee National Forest. Intrepid campers can meander into the national forest and explore the 600 acres of adjoining land—but be careful, there are no marked trails!
There are no bathroom or shower facilities on site, so campers must plan to bring their own camping toilet. If you'll be there for several days or longer and are interested in a paid port-a-potty, we can arrange to have one delivered.
There is absolutely no ATV riding on the property, and there are no ATV trails nearby. Please find a different area to camp if you plan to bring ATVs or side-by-sides.

Your camping stay is located on 40 acres of rolling meadows and forest, just across an unpaved pathway from another 40 acres featuring a large spring-fed lake.
Landside, mowed trails crisscross the property through meadows and woodland groves. Wildlife is abundant — you may spot deer, foxes, coyotes, and a wide variety of birds, including regular appearances by bald eagles.
Lakeside, you’ll find a 30-acre, spring-fed, completely private lake that’s home to beavers, otters, turtles, frogs, a trumpeter swan family, sandhill cranes, and more.
A small dock provides the only access point to the lake and serves as a perfect launch for kayaks, canoes, paddleboards, and other non-motorized watercraft to explore its peaceful waters.
Our two campsites are privately positioned away from the road, nestled in large meadows near scenic trails, and just a short walk from the lake. A portable restroom, maintained weekly, is conveniently located for guest use.

My son and I stayed for a weekend to go fishing and get away from the busy city life. We absolutely loved our stay, were so impressed with the cleanliness of the place, the items available for our use, and the breathtaking views. We will definitely be back!

The camp spot on Luke's farm was lovely. While we requested the kayaks for their pond, we did not end up using them. The space was very private. We had a little trouble getting to the space as the direction listed in the booking did not land you immediately into the space, but more like adjacent. We arrived late and it was dark out so we had a tough time knowing where to turn, there was very little signage to indicate where exactly to go, and we did not have the best cell service. We made it to their farm and we were given a map.
Overall, i would stay there again and recommend to anyone looking for a quiet and peaceful time out in nature. The views of the autumn foliage were abundant. Thank you!

We loved this camp. We travel with our 3 dogs, and this is the perfect place for them to have their space to romp around. Firewood was at the campsite when we got there, a beautiful lake, and seclusion. We came to area to mountain bike the dragon trail, this camp is a great home base for bikers.

My children and I had enjoyed a very comfortable stay at Provision Family Farms! Luke was friendy and helpful, and the Treehouse campsite was beautiful. We ended up sleeping in tents because my kids were convinced that the sound of acorns falling in the roof of the tree house was some sort of malevolent forest creature.
Highlights for us: We enjoyed seeing the farm animals, and the composting toilet station was beautifully designed and maintained.

Besides the lake view and access, the next best thing about this site is how quiet it is. It is very rare you hear anything outside of the sounds of nature.
