Stories from the community

Weekend Trip to Doriath Springs

Picture perfect, private and and quiet river front camping on the Muskegon River! The spring-fed creek was the cherry on top. Hands down, my new favorite spot in lower Michigan.

1 night at Provision Family Farms

I truly enjoyed it because it was so surreal to be that close with nature and a very beautiful and peaceful place

2 nights at The 40 Acre Wood

Great escape for prince and I. Loved the trails being able to get up and just go walking anytime was amazing. Cannot wait to go back only this I want to stay longer and bring a few more campers.

1 night at Hen and Hive Provisions

Wonderful site and host! Very romantic and sweet with a great herd of sheep and goats!

5 nights at Gray's Riverside Camp

Angie is an amazing host! We stayed in a tent in spot seven, but if you're needing electricity for a tent make sure to ask Angie the best spot for you. 😉 Hot showers, awesome rec room, plus offers disk golf, kayaking, firewood, and an incredible camp store in case you forgot something essential (like ice, off, or marshmallows). Lots of other stuff too! I personally love that there was ping pong, games, and a short walk down to the river for fishing. Plus it was incredibly reasonable for each service Angie provides! We went kayaking and she drove us over the point so we could spend a few hours floating down the river right to camp. It was so stress free! The beauty and tranquility of the river was completely worth every penny. ✨️ Close to town without being too close. The bike trail goes right by there too! It was an absolutely phenomenal weekend!

4 nights at Lynx Run Wilderness Retreat

All I can say is wow! This site is everything and more for a long weekend in the woods! Building Bridges, lots of good cooking, baby deers, trout and an abundance of birds! We definitely will be back!

1 night at Hen and Hive Provisions

Wonderful campsite, very peaceful land. Pamela is quick to respond, helpful, and non-intrusive . Our campsite was spacious with a nice fire ring, stumps, a hammock, a picnic table, and a little string of lovely little solar powered lights at night. There were other campers at nearby sites, but there are many trees and plants and enough distance between the sites to feel secluded and private. Nice walkable mowed paths. Bathroom is super cute and comfortable. Shooting range nearby was poppin off for a few hours but settled down by night and it didn’t bother us any. Thanks for a really great night away in a beautiful place.

Weekend Trip to Sportsman's Port Wellston PineRiver

This was an amazing 3 night getaway! Site 36 was very nice and back away from the rest. Very spacious and Thomas was very accommodating and helpful! Having nice clean bathrooms and showers was just icing on the cake. Had a great time and would love to go back sometime.

Weekend Trip to Sportsman's Port Wellston PineRiver

Weekend Trip to Lynx Run Wilderness Retreat

Great little cabin. Wonderful place to escape. The trails were well marked. The bathrooms clean and the host accommodating.

4 nights at Provision Family Farms

Saw lots of wildlife (eagles, swans, loons, and a ton of geese and blackbirds) this year and had an amazing time. Definitely recommend getting some of Luke's bacon too. It's incredible.

Weekend Trip to Gray's Riverside Camp

Very nice small campground with trails nearby and an RV dump station. Also has water and electric hookups. The Muskegon River is a short walk from camp sites. The host Angie was super sweet and attentive. Highly recommend as a nice place for a nature packed weekend or even a place to park for the night and head out next day if needed she is very accommodating to either.

1 night at DaltonTraders Base Camp-Grand Cabin

My experience here was very pleasant. I asked the host if I could come a couple hours early to drop off my camper to be able to go to Michigan adventures on time. He accommodated and was extremely friendly. I would definitely come to this campsite again. Great location and very friendly hosts.

The Farm

7 sites · RVs, Tents34 acres · Alma, MI

My wife and I are slowly starting up our own little farm. We have 2 indoor cats, 1 outdoor cat, a dog, chickens and two ducks. We are on 34 acres and have a river that runs through the middle of it. We are 10 minutes from Alma and 20 minutes from Mt Pleasant. Lumberjack park is about 2 minutes away and Stearns preserve is about 5 mins away where you can walk or ride bike on a nice paved trail. We have a small garden that we plant every summer and plan to start a small farm stand this year. We are in a quiet area with lots of wildlife. We have 1 spot near the house with a view of the river that can support electric hook for a smaller RV and can attach a garden hose for water if needed. We do have a “field” that RVs can use but there is no hook up and there ground may not be level. We have many options for rustic tent camping along the river. No public restroom available. We can also provide some fire wood for campfires for a small cost. Along the river fires are allowed but must be contained in a fire ring. If camping by the field fires will be dependent on conditions. We have 3 kayaks and a canoe that can be used with prior consent. There is a park up river where you can put in and then can exit at our house which is about an hour on the river. We are very new to this and just purchased a UTV so we will be able to start making trails and clearing areas. But for now, camping along the river you will have to walk (and carry belongings) through tall grass to the site you desire. Quiet time 11 pm. We are an easy going couple that just want to share this slice of paradise with others! WiFi available

Lynx Run Wilderness Retreat

8 sites · Lodging, RVs, Tents100 acres · Stanwood, MI

My property (Lynx Run) has an amazing geological and historical background. During the last ice age, glacial waters carved out the ravine in which the Betts Creek flows. Sometimes, the creek drops over 60 feet below the surrounding terrain as it meanders back and forth in oxbows as it flows toward the Muskegon River. It was once the hunting, foraging and camping grounds of the Potawatami Indians. In the late 1800's it was at the center of the Michigan Timber Industry. Running along the edge of my property is the old railroad bed where timber was once hauled away. Only two miles from my home, the logs were sent down the side of the hill and into the Muskegon River on log chutes and then floated to where the Muskegon empties into Lake Michigan. Piles of field stones indicate that after the timber industry moved on, farmers moved in and attempted to tame the land. But, fortunately for me, the land was abandoned by the farmers and has returned to a much more natural and pristine state. My land is now a part of the Manistee National Forest and I am surrounded by thousands of acres of beautiful land (both public and private). I am the only person who lives back here in this part of the forest, so seclusion and privacy are wonderful and the wildlife and beauty is abundant.

We traced those deeds back through the Oceana County Register of Deeds and found that larger tracts of land were owned by people from Chicago and California, which were later divided into smaller parcels. Interestingly, one owner lost the property after failing to pay back taxes of $3.50, shortly after World War II. It is likely that he never returned. In the mid-1900s, Ed Dewey was the owner. Today, we have a cabin on the east side of the 40 acres that was built by Ed, entirely constructed with oak. He had three sawmills there, each powered by the engines of old Studebakers. He cut and milled enormous oak trees, using the wood to construct crates for transporting cherries. Today, you can still see old oak crates on various farms, but they are slowly being replaced by plastic. Ed never finished the little cabin, and the story goes that he died there. The next owners were a couple from Inkster, near Detroit. Despite Ed leaving an acre of "yard art" all over, the place was used as a vacation home after a 50-foot long mobile home was placed near the cabin. As they aged, they sold off their property to us. First, we acquired the 20 acres where the Cozy Camper Cabin resides, then the 7 acres near Weaver Road and 44th, and finally, the remaining 13 acres with the cabin. We began purchasing the property in parcels in 1992 for $500 an acre and owned it all by 1998. From 1998 to 2008, we removed the mobile home, cleaned up all the yard art, refurbished the cabin, added a garage, and built a new shed nearby. The Hipcamp shed was originally built in 1999 and has been used for storage until it was converted into a unique little place in the woods in 2021. Over the years, our Forester has carefully managed the property. We have logged three times. The first round was to remove 75 huge oak trees. The second round involved culling mature poplar trees. The last time, we took out 276 mature oaks and beeches. A Woodsman spent a year cutting down the tops of the trees. Clearing these old growth trees revitalized the forest, as planned. Today, there are over two miles of trails running throughout the property. Some were logging roads, while others were carved out over time. The land is flat to the north but hilly to the south, as these are forested sand dunes. There are approximately a million trees on the property, densely forested with many large "mother trees" such as oaks, beeches, maples, and pines. The poplar trees are growing rapidly, as they do. Wild cherry, sassafras, beeches, oaks, and maples are also growing quickly and thickly. To the south, there are fenced-in asparagus fields and cherry orchards. To the north, on the other side of Weaver Road, is the privately owned Silver Lake Airport, which remains quiet most of the time. On the east side of our 40 acres, you'll find our cabin and buildings, and we kindly ask you to avoid wandering onto that side of the property. Signs will alert you when you get close. To the west, there is a 20-acre section occasionally occupied by some "Dunners." The area is famous for Silver Lake State Park and the sand dunes, located about 2.5 miles northwest of us. Our neighbors in that area have dune buggies, and they sometimes drive around their property, creating more noise than we prefer. It's possible that you may encounter this during your visit, so please be aware. Deer are abundant in the area, and in 2021, we spotted a porcupine for the first time, although we have occasionally seen evidence of their presence through bark-stripped maples. Raccoons come and go, while turkeys are frequent visitors at times. You can hear coyotes yipping away at night, and depending on the time of year and migratory season, you'll see lots and lots of birds. We're pleased to report that there is no poison ivy on the property! It is a beautiful place in the woods, not far from many entertaining activities suitable for both the young and old. Come and visit, but please be respectful of the land and our privacy while enjoying yours. Love Mother Earth while you are here and nourish your soul.

Lynx Run Wilderness Retreat

8 sites · Lodging, RVs, Tents100 acres · Stanwood, MI

My property (Lynx Run) has an amazing geological and historical background. During the last ice age, glacial waters carved out the ravine in which the Betts Creek flows. Sometimes, the creek drops over 60 feet below the surrounding terrain as it meanders back and forth in oxbows as it flows toward the Muskegon River. It was once the hunting, foraging and camping grounds of the Potawatami Indians. In the late 1800's it was at the center of the Michigan Timber Industry. Running along the edge of my property is the old railroad bed where timber was once hauled away. Only two miles from my home, the logs were sent down the side of the hill and into the Muskegon River on log chutes and then floated to where the Muskegon empties into Lake Michigan. Piles of field stones indicate that after the timber industry moved on, farmers moved in and attempted to tame the land. But, fortunately for me, the land was abandoned by the farmers and has returned to a much more natural and pristine state. My land is now a part of the Manistee National Forest and I am surrounded by thousands of acres of beautiful land (both public and private). I am the only person who lives back here in this part of the forest, so seclusion and privacy are wonderful and the wildlife and beauty is abundant.
