Weekend Trip to Sheepy Acres

Titus has created a thoughtful and lovely spot to camp. The areas are private and well designed, the facilities clean and charming, with generous details like the use of clean towels if you forget yours. I loved the variety of trees , the sound of the horse and buggies on the distant road, the welcoming sheep. Thank you Titus!

Weekend Trip to 2Chicks And A Farm

This was a wonderful overnight trip with my three year old for his first camp-out. Julie and Madison provided excellent hospitality and communication. The animals were a big hit and we got to hold, feed and play with several of them. The grounds were well kept and the yurt was spacious and clean. Some really nice touches with the welcome basket, firewood on site and comfy camp chairs. And I can’t express how much I appreciate the cleanliness of the outhouse—especially with a toddler!

Weekend Trip to Sheepy Acres

The cabin was wonderful! Amenities were even better than described! Titus was very nice and was actively making improvements to the property including a play area for kids! Can't wait to try out one of the sites in the sheep pasture.

Weekend Trip to Sheepy Acres

Beautiful place!!! Howes was extremely nice and they have free wood to burn!!! We had to leave a day early because we picked a rainy weekend! Would definitely go back

Weekend Trip to 2Chicks And A Farm

We loved our stay! They have really thought of everything! Even offering coffee and snacks first thing in the morning. Such a cute little farm and loved our spacious area and yurt. Plus so close to downtown south haven/beaches. Perfect little getaway

Weekend Trip to 2Chicks And A Farm

This was my favorite hip camp experience yet! The animals at 2Chicks and A Farm are so friendly. Breakfast was delicious. The tent site was well kept and perfect for our group.

Weekend Trip to Sugar Shack Disc Golf Campground

This site was perfect for our needs and made for a fun weekend away from home! Our favorite parts: • Toilet and sink available • Ample space for several large tents • Shady trees that keep the site feeling cooler on hot days and dryer on rainy ones • The close proximity to civilization, while still feeling peaceful and private • Unlimited disc golf on a private course • A large supply of firewood provided • Great and thoughtful hosts! We will absolutely be back!

The serene setting of the Tucked Away cabin.

2 nights at Tucked - Away Cabin

This a great place! It is obvious that great skill and care went into building the cabin itself and what an excellent site it is on! If you have been looking for a cabin that is not right next to the owner's house or right on a blacktop road, this is the place for you! The tucked away cabin is back down a windy little dirt road through the woods and is truly surrounded by nature. A great bike trail along the Grand River is literally 5 minutes away. Perfect secluded glamping experience with everything you need including a Solo Stove fire pit that is the most efficient way to burn wood I have ever seen. I will definitely be back to this special place.

Weekend Trip to Pondor Lake Southwest Michigan

First time using Hipcamp and it did not disappoint…Robin was absolutely amazing…her property was very peaceful…it was my first time ever camping and was the most perfect and safest place to get started. She was extremely helpful and even shared some asparagus with me ❤️. I hope to return in the future

9 nights at Shipshewana lake with channel

The campsite is a generous sized open space between Shawn's house and Shipshewana Lake, with full hook ups, a fire pit, and a beautiful view of the lake. There were plentiful wildlife, we saw swans, herons, geese and bullfrogs serenaded us at night. Shawn, the owner welcomed us and made sure our questions about the area were answered. We would recommend this camp to anyone.

Weekend Trip to Stickley Family Farms

Weekend Trip to Sun Creek Farm

Absolutely beautiful spot! Molly and Kevin have done a wonderful job. Our only wish is we would have stayed longer. Outdoor shower AND fire warmed tub! Also a toilet, power and a wonderful fire pit! Hammock that’s super peaceful and a great little pond. It’s quiet and secluded yet 25 min or less from anything you need. They were excellent communicators and great hosts.

Weekend Trip to 2Chicks And A Farm

We had such a special two-night stay at Lucy the Yurt! It was our son’s first-ever camping adventure, so we opted for the comfort of a yurt, and it couldn’t have been more perfect for our little crew (husband, 4-year-old, doggo, and me). The grounds were beautiful and full of personality, from the spacious yurt and climbing wall to the welcoming farm animals and ultra-friendly cats. Our son was in heaven. He made multiple “bucket list” memories, including an unforgettable ride on a four-wheeler (with goat Cupid riding shotgun) to pick up firewood, thanks to the amazing Teresa. Although the weather turned unseasonably chilly, Julie came through with a propane heater and CO2 monitor, which kept us warm and cozy. The yurt was spotless, and we loved the thoughtful welcome basket stocked with s’mores fixings, Jiffy Pop, and sparklers. The kind of touches that turn a trip into a memory. We also appreciated the easy access to South Haven, nearby nature trails (Camp Pilgrim and Van Buren Woods), and the extremely chatty and hysterical farm animals. The chickens, goats, and pigs had us laughing, and the bullfrogs serenaded us each night. A quick note for light sleepers: there is a rooster and a few hardworking farm pups who take their job seriously, but it’s all part of the charm. Nothing disrupted our stay. We’d absolutely come back again!

Weekend Trip to Forest Haven RV Park and Campground

Amazing view! The people and staff were so nice and helpful. Bathrooms were clean and there were so many things to do. Wish we could’ve stayed longer, but will be coming back for sure!

Weekend Trip to Harvest the Good Farm

A beautiful private camping spot. Joe is very accommodating, and truly enjoys sharing his beautiful property with his guests. Fields of hay and a small orchard welcome you on the short trail to the campground. The sunsets are serene and quiet, and the secluded camping location makes for a beautiful sunrise.

2 nights at 2Chicks And A Farm

The property was very nice, clean, and enjoyable. The owners were extremely friendly and welcoming, communicated well with us, and the on site amenities were great. Will definitely be visiting again!

1 night at Sheepy Acres

This place is awesome and Titus is a super hospitable host. We only stayed for a night on a road trip and wish we could have stayed longer. The site is very secluded and has everything you need for camping!

Tincan Camp

3 sites · Lodging, RVs7 acres · Bloomingdale, MI

This fun property is just under 7 acres - butted up to another 12 acres of public land (and boat launch) with trails, boardwalk and a dock on 51 acre Lake Eleven. The property is shared by (2) full-hook up RV sites and a cabin. If available, the cabin and sites may be rented together however the owners, Jim and Maria, use the cabin much of the summer leaving just the RV sites available. The property is at mile market 13 of the Kal-Haven Trail - the midpoint. The Kal-Haven Trail is a biking, cross-country skiing, walking, running, snowmobiling - you name it, the trail that goes 34 miles from Kalamazoo to South Haven. Literally steps from the property and you are on the trail. But you may not need to leave the property, with 6.3 acres of woods and field, with trail cut through PLUS the added public lands butted up to Tincan's property line, giving almost 20 acres to roam. Each RV site - far enough apart to be separate, close enough if you and friends/family want to camp together, has a fire pit and fireplace. Each RV site offers water, 30|50AMP electrical and septic. The dock may have availability for keeping you boat - please inquire. There are kayaks and some bikes (mostly teen and adult size) that may be used. These are shared amenities for the cabin and campsite guests and offered on a first come, first serve basis. There are surprises galore around the property; big foots to be found tucked around the property, games, and overall just a fun place to be. This was a run-down fishing cabin Jim and Maria lovingly brough back to life as a second home and they delight in sharing it. Jim often referred to it as "The Tincan" while working on it as it was - indeed, a tin shack and the name stuck. Kate, your booking coordinator, helps Jim and Maria tend to the administrative side of getting the property booked and keeping the details in order. Once booked you'll get contact info for Kate, who will take care of most communications and logistics, and Jim/Maria who will also be available to help as needed.

McCormick Artisans Woods/River

3 sites · Lodging, RVs, Tents33 acres · Jonesville, MI

We bought this property in 2012 and have built several buildings and forged paths throughout the 32 acres. Our road is part of the North Country Trail, a footpath stretching over 4,600 miles from Middlebury in central Vermont to Lake Sakakawea State Park in central North Dakota. While tearing down the existing house, we constructed two bedrooms in the pole barn for a quick living space. Once settled in the pole barn, we a built a small log cabin with already felled timbers from the local woods, except for the box frame which was purchased from the local Amish. Prior to building our permanent log cabin home, this small cabin was our camp site and is now being rented to people that want to relax and enjoy the outdoors. In the middle of the woods, we created a campground to be enjoyed by hikers and on the North side of our property is a tree line between two fields that is a great small camper/tent camping spot.

7 camp sites, 1 RV site, 3 Yurts, a Bohemian camp site, and new this year a TeePee Site and Hammock site. For a total of 13 options. 2Chicks And A Farm is a small working farm on 20 acres, owned and run by Julie and Theresa Graham. We are 13 minutes from South Haven and the lake. 30 minutes from the city of Kalamazoo. And just under an hour from Grand Rapids. About half of the 20 acres is wooded, which is where three of our camp sites, Hammock Haven are located. Each site has a fire ring & picnic table. One site, capable of taking a mid sized RV / Fifth Wheel, is located on the front of the property with easy access from the road. It backs up to some trails and brush/wood area and has a corn field to the right. So, even though on the front on the property, you have a feeling of privacy. It too has a fire pit and picnic table. Three camp sites are located in the pasture. One is at the bottom of the pasture (1) and quite open. It can accommodate larger groups with multiple tents. A more secluded site (5) is half open and half in light woods., and is located at the top of the pasture. The others are in the middle of the pasture, 2 for sun lovers and 3 for those who prefer more shade. For those who prefer more seclusion, we have cleared three sites in the woods. All sites have a fire ring, or metal fire pit, and picnic table. Some have fire wood boxes (we’re working on making a box for all sites). We have an outdoor propane shower that provides both hot and cold water. This is free. A coffee bar is on the back deck. Coffee is brewing around 7am. We also provide hot water, teas, hot chocolate and cider. Feeling a little peckish before breakfast, or after dinner? Help yourself to a snack. This is all free, though small donations are welcomed. Our goats, poultry, pigs, rabbits, cats and dogs and produce take up about an acre and a half. Then the rest is open space. You are welcome to collect eggs for breakfast and fresh produce from our gardens (additional fee). Use the BBQ or smoker. And even join in on farm chores if you are so inclined. Please try to plan to check-in by 9pm. Exceptions can be made. There are locally mandated quiet hours (10-7 Sun through Thur, and 11-7 Fri and Sat). Hanging out by a fire and chatting is fine.

Kalamazoo Haven

2 sites · Lodging, RVs, Tents80 acres · Kalamazoo, MI

Half way between Chicago and Detroit is a city named Kalamazoo. Our place is near the intersection of US 131 and I-94, so whichever direction you are traveling is accessible. Whether you are heading to the beauty of "up north" or running between the big cities east and west, this is a great spot to rest and enjoy some down time. Lake Michigan is a 40 minute drive west from here and if you are a bicyclist, you can ride the Kal-Haven Trail from the trail head about 2 miles from here, all the way to the Big Lake and back (35.5 miles one way). We have trails in the woods and open fields to look over, depending on your preference. As of this year, there is no electricity and water hookup, so tents or trailers with electric and water are your option. We have a bell tent available for a single or a couple to stay. On that same site is room for a trailer or tents, if you want to invite your friends, and we've built a cooking shelter and a bath house that has a compost toilet and a shower with on demand hot water from solar energy. We have a horse farm on the property and offer horse experiences at an additional fee. It is expected that you will remain outside the fence from the horses while you are staying, unless you sign a release and are accompanied by the owner to interact with them. There are two campsites cleared in the woods, for tent camping, and more will be cleared in 2025, as time allows. There will be a bathhouse with a compost toilet and on-demand hot water nearby those campsites. If you want to stay before our build, we will offer a lower rate, but expect you to take away your own waste when you leave or clarify with us where is an appropriate place to leave it. At some point during the summer of 2025, we are placing a restored vintage 1957 Ideal camper in a separate area of the property. It will have solar power and an indoor compost toilet, with a stove and sink. It will host a single or a couple who can sleep on a full sized mattress. Another sleeping area may be offered from converting the table, but we are not sure how comfortable it will be until we've completed the renovation.

Have A Lake Of Your Own!

10 sites · Lodging, Tents150 acres · Lawrence, MI

The property was originally owned by a family name Nichols (thus the name of the lake). It was handed down to the sons who each owned half the property. The driveway down the middle of property that leads to the lake was originally a fence line that divided the two pieces of property. The brothers did not get along and their are several stories of their warring on how to maintain the property.My parents bought this piece of property in 1964 and created a camp called "Lakeside Farm Camp", a small all boys camp. The camp has gone through several changes since then but has always been owned by the Edwards family. In 1984 the name was changed to "Cedar Lodge" a coed camp that specializes in English horseback riding and offering high level general camp activities. Enjoy the peace and quiet of our totally private fresh water lake. Take your boat out for a day of fishing or just chill next to the fire. Sites are approximately 50 feet from each other. If you want privacy we suggest you book both.
