Nice spot with a concrete pad not too far from 31. A bit of road noise, but it quieted down at night. I was there for a quick stay, so, unfortunately, I didn't get a chance to enjoy the trails.

Had a great stay! The pop-up camper is newer, very cozy, and clean. It was the dead of a very hot summer and I was still pretty cool at night. Richard was a kind and very helpful host -immediately took care of everything I needed. Site is in his large backyard, steps from the Little Manistee river. I'm a fly fishermen and got in a few hours of fishing during just a one night stay. Decent hole with Brown Trout and smallmouth right next to the site. Overall great experience.

The directions provided were outstanding, making it quite easy to locate the destination. Richard proved to be an exceptional host, demonstrating a high level of hospitality. The location itself was impressive—immaculately clean, private, and tranquil. The setup was beautifully arranged, complemented by a fantastic fishing spot. The camper was very comfortable and equipped with all the essentials, while the facilities were well-maintained. I highly recommend this experience.

Richard was a great host. As a solo camper, I was nervous going out alone but Richard was very kind and gave me plenty of tips for fishing. He left me to do my thing which I appreciated. Even though it was hot, I still managed to get on a ton of fish. Fantastic spot if you are looking to get on some fish. Mosquitoes weren’t a problem!

Richard was so flexible and open to letting us stay on his property on such short notice. Everything was set up for us; he even stayed around to show us the land once we got there. So peaceful, and still felt cool on the hottest days with the fans in the camper, which is also really nice. The outhouse is well taken care of; just bring some hand sanitizer with you!! Richard was very kind and super cool and we definitely want to go back to him and explore some more!
