Weekend Trip to Sunflower Farms

Francesco is a great host and super responsive. The campsite we were at wasn’t really a private campsite as it sits directly on the path to later ones, but it’s still quite far from the others so not a big deal. My only suggestion would be add a picnic table to the site

Weekend Trip to Sunflower Farms

Loved tent camping here! Plenty of space and privacy. Great location - close to the beach. Francesco was very kind and helpful. Beautiful property, we had a great camping trip!

Beautiful land to camp on, host was fantastic. Very easy directions on what was needed to camp on the site, what to bring.

Weekend Trip to Sunflower Farms

Outstanding hospitality! Owners are friendly, responsive, and maintain a great property. It’s also in easy driving distance of South Haven and Saugatuck. Highly recommend!

3 nights at Sunflower Farms

I stayed a few nights at the Deer Grove site and it was amazing! Very private and had just enough shade. Location is perfect being just a few minute drive into town. This was my first experience using Hipcamp, and I am so glad I found it. Frank and his wife were so kind and accommodating. I hope to stay here again.

Anne is an awesome host. Life happens and she is accommodating and helpful and just great. Thank you Anne.

1 night at Gypsy camp

We had the best time at Gypsy camp! Anne & family were incredibly generous hosts and went above & beyond sharing their lovely property with us. Highlights were the amazing outdoor shower and the magical firefly show in the trees surrounding our tent at night. Hope to come back someday - 10/10 recommend!

Weekend Trip to Gypsy camp

Perfect for a big group! Absolutely amazing place to stay if you're heading to the Dunes.

Weekend Trip to Sunflower Farms

Loved Francesco’s place! We couldn’t hear any of the other campers around and the night sky was super dark so we enjoyed many stars. The site was also beautiful. There are also many great beaches around, so it’s a great location.

Weekend Trip to Sunflower Farms

Frank's place is absolutely wonderful. The trail is clear. We saw multiple rabbits and a bit of wildlife. The fire pit was really well placed for the spot we chose. 10/10 would come back

Weekend Trip to Mulln-Heim Vineyards

Amazing time, John was a great host and super accommodating to our bigger group. Would love to come back again

4 nights at Mulln-Heim Vineyards

Would definitely return again! Conveniently located near a number of wineries and an easy drive to Warren Dunes, St Joseph, and other attractions. John was extremely welcoming and the space was thoughtfully appointed. The tiki torches, grill, prep table, and clothes line were a nice touch as was the garden to grab herbs from. The camp site itself had an amazing view of the vines and lots of welcome shade from the summer heat. I’d love to return in the fall to see all the produce and to see the leaves turn!

Weekend Trip to Gypsy camp

They were so accommodating. Shower, firewood and other amenities. Was a great stay! Ps. Adorable animals on site.

2 nights at Sunflower Farms

Convenient and accommodating. The host was kind - even helped us move our gear. Close to Van Buren State Park. It was the perfect backup plan for us.

3 nights at Sunflower Farms

Great, private little hideaway in South Haven. Very centralized location to everything. Second official stay at the farm and it was top tier yet again! Frank is always on point and quick/easy to communicate with. The Ritz site is amazing and spacious. The grill is a great amenity offered at this site along with table and chairs. Highly recommend any of the four sites at Sunflower Farm!

2 nights at Sunflower Farms

My first time using this app and I was a perfect first experience. Lovely little site worked perfectly for a last minute and unexpected two night camping trip. Host is super nice and takes great care of the property. Felt super comfortable staying the night alone as a woman. Highly recommend camping here and if I’m ever in the area and in need of a place to camp this is where I’ll be heading.

1 night at Gypsy camp

Very cozy and private , plus the chickens were a cool bonus!

Weekend Trip to Wildflower Runway

My family loved camping here! Our host was very friendly and very helpful. The spot was super private and peaceful, but when we needed something we weren't too far from town. We had a great weekend ☺️

This is a 3rd generation "Family Farm" of a different sort I suppose. Seems there's a bit of everything here, and arguably not enough of anything. At least for conventional farming. So we've learned to do things a bit differently.Our main crop is wine and juice grapes since our topography, climate, and soil type makes it a premier location for that. But with 30+ acres of forested hillsides, low ground, and natural areas we've evolved into a mixed farm and forest enterprise. Our goal is to utilize the productivity of all our property while still retaining the basic character and usefulness of the wild areas. Letting each thing be what it wants to be and does best on it's own. Flow, not force.So our year starts early with tapping maple trees and making maple syrup. Plus there's grape trimming about this time as well. When the forest floor starts to green up a bit later, we start digging Ramps, or Wild Leeks in the woods. Most of these will go to the more trendy Chicago restaurants, but we also have some local sales. Next comes inoculating winter-cut logs with Shiitake spawn for next years mushroom production. This year we also conducted a few hands-on workshop seminars on mushroom growing as well. Then it's on to our raised bed herb & veggie gardens. (Fresh herbs are just so much fun to cook with!) We grow enough for our own yearly use, as well as some for direct sales. Summer keeps us busy tending all the different crops here and trying to keep up. But there's that steady progression of fresh veggies to eat. Yum !!! Fall brings our annual Grape U-Pick in September and October. And we try to time related crops like mums, pumpkins, and gourds for this same time frame. Makes the place a bit more interesting. Late fall is when we bring in firewood to heat the house and workshop. Stacks of wood everywhere. Hopefully before the 1st snow. In winter it's time to fire up the woodworking shop and be a bit creative. Build furniture, equipment maintenance, who knows what next years projects will include. I like to keep everybody guessing.So, that's what goes on here. You're welcome to check it out, lend a hand, relax back at camp, walk the vineyards and/or forest, or just breathe and relax. That's up to you. But I would recommend visiting a few of the fine local wineries. Seems there's a festival going on at one or another of them just about every weekend. Good music, good wine, good times. And there's the Lake Michigan beaches a few miles down the road.Yeah, this is a pretty casual place here, love meeting new people, very open to civil discussions of all sorts.However, rude, ill mannered people will probably enjoy staying elsewhere. Just say'n.
