80 acres of Awesome. A resort that hosts many kinds of accommodations and events. Centrally located 10 minutes from Sleeping Bear Dunes, Glen Arbor, Empire, Miles of Beaches, boat launches, parks, frisbee golf and so much more. We have 40 acres of hardwoods and trails, over 47 species of birds, a filtered natural pool, and a $2M lodge with spa level bathrooms and showers. Our glamping tents have 2 queen beds with bedding and are very comfortable even for 1st time campers. There are many close restaurants and an on site outdoor kitchen. We also host many activities that are constantly changing (yoga, speakers, singing bowls, retreats, more). Come enjoy everything Leelanau County has to offer and Traverse City 30m away. We focus on creating bonding experiences that bring people together and remind them that we all share the same nature!

Excellent stay and we’ll be back next year. Moonshadow will be our new go-to place when visiting Sleeping Bear. Robb and Jeanne were accommodating and friendly. I look forward to visiting again and taking a longer stay

Perhaps the best place I've stayed at on hip camp. Definitely top 5. Robb and Jeanne have a really great place. The photos are accurate. The pine forest was great. At night you can hear the wind traveling from one side to the other. I love the clean flat carpet of pine needles. In the morning we drove about 5 minutes to lake Michigan Beach which was gorgeous. No bugs at all this time of year. I liked the community fireplace because it was all setup and quick to get a fire going. There is a volleyball court in the grass too.

This was the perfect place for me. I liked campsite 2. It felt private and had everything I needed. They also had options for sale : sodas, firewood, popsicle... The site is near a road, although it is completely quiet in the evenings. The sky was beautiful and area was very still. It's also near lots of fun things to do. I will be back again and again.

I cannot say enough positive things about camp moonshadow. The hosts are so helpful and communicative, the site for tents is spread out and stunning surrounded by pines, and the access to resources like the bathrooms, outdoor shower, and kitchen are amazing. Not to mention, here’s a beach five minutes down the road that is beautiful and where we spent most of our nights. Close proximity to sleeping bear dunes (20 minutes to the dune climb) and a quick 30/40 minute drive to traverse city. Four nights was nowhere near enough. We will be back soon!

Perfectly fine for a night. Owner is really friendly. Pretty basic but still nice. Not really a campground, more of an open field in someone's backyard. But still perfect for one night and had porta potties and a shower which was really refreshing!

We loved camping at Robb and Jeanne's land! They have great communal spaces like the indoor/outdoor shower house, kitchen, picnic dining area, and porta johns. A beautiful spot to relish in the tall Michigan pine trees and green forest! It was awesome being so close to the beach, and glen arbor.
