Nestled in Manistee National Forest is a family farm. Trailheads lead to hundreds of miles of public two-track, and the woods roll between oak/maple/beech and aspen/birch. On the farm is a 20 acre lake with a floating island, tent sites, and healthy ecosystems with plenty of wildlife.Our farm pastures pigs, cattle, sheep and poultry, investing in our dirt and our neighbors. We are provision family farms because we provide for our animals even as we are provided for. Drop on in at the house and we may have time for a little tour.In the woods is a small composting toilet, but you're welcome to fertilize our pastures anytime. There's also a shower available in the house.The best time to visit Michigan forests is in October when the leaves turn color and the nights are cool. The mosquitoes are done for the winter and the air is brisk.

The camp spot on Luke's farm was lovely. While we requested the kayaks for their pond, we did not end up using them. The space was very private. We had a little trouble getting to the space as the direction listed in the booking did not land you immediately into the space, but more like adjacent. We arrived late and it was dark out so we had a tough time knowing where to turn, there was very little signage to indicate where exactly to go, and we did not have the best cell service. We made it to their farm and we were given a map. Overall, i would stay there again and recommend to anyone looking for a quiet and peaceful time out in nature. The views of the autumn foliage were abundant. Thank you!

The main road in (12 Mile Road) was way more rugged than I had expected. That being said, the site was very remote and extremely peaceful. You can probably make it in (as others suggested, come in from the west off Hemlock) with 2WD, but I was glad I had 4WD for peace of mind. Also, the site it beautiful! The electric hookup was super convenient. The shower appeared to be hooked directly to the well water line. However, there was a heater there ready to be installed. We used my solar shower which was decently warm. There are plenty of trails on site and my dog had a blast being off leash the entire week. We did venture into Hungerford for a much longer hike. There was a super nice couple there our first night, but we had the place to ourselves the rest of the week. What a gem of a site. Would love to have a group camp there in the future.

We loved this camp. We travel with our 3 dogs, and this is the perfect place for them to have their space to romp around. Firewood was at the campsite when we got there, a beautiful lake, and seclusion. We came to area to mountain bike the dragon trail, this camp is a great home base for bikers.

Super awesome remote camping space. It’s hard to find anything this remote with water and power. Super thrilled and would go back.

I stayed one night in my camper van, a 2wd Ram ProMaster 3500. Definitely approach from the west (from Hemlock), not from the east as there's a long, sandy ascent that really requires 4wd this way; my van didn't have a prayer of making it, and it's a long way to back out but there's no choice 'cause there's no way to turn around. Come from the west and you're fine! The site is really great. I was the only inhabitant, but there are multiple electric hookups all around the big fire ring. Pretty cool to have electric way out in the woods...that had to be a major project getting wires run. There's a very clean porta john on site too. For my night here, I had total privacy, excellent stars, and quiet - definitely will return.

We loved our stay! Perfect seclusion at the campsite and brush lake was a great swim spot just down the road! The animals were fun to see around and we appreciated all the free firewood! We’ll be back for sure.

Not your typical campground, you’re just staying on a little corner of their property/farm, but it’s super cute and peaceful! The host was very friendly and accommodating. Very quiet and isolated. Would recommend, especially if you don’t mind a bumpy road and hanging out with the farm animals.

We had a great time tent camping at the Beaver pond site. It's bare basics but if you're an avid tent camper, you'll know how to make it work. We were happy to have the outhouse offer privacy. The sun setting across the pond was absolutely gorgeous and we took the kayaks out to paddle through the reflection of clouds floating in the water. When the sun was down, out came the fireflies and the stars. At night we were serenaded by coyotes and woke to birdsong. The host was super friendly and helpful, and offered a tour of the cool looking farm, but we had plans to go hiking but next time!

BYO table, ample firewood provided, composting toilet on site

This is an absolutely perfect spot if you want rustic, private camping. Nothing but peace and quiet, and kayaking, and birdsong, and cut firewood. Beautiful views of the sunset across the lake. Lots of trees for shade from early morning sun. Location is great for swimming at Diamond Lake. Luke was an excellent host and provided plenty of firewood and delivered the kayaks to the site. Plus gave us some fresh meat treats for our dog. Highly recommend this if you really want to get out into the country.

AWESOME base camp for trail riding at Hungerford. The campsite was huge, flat, and private, with water and electricity. What more could you ask?? Very quiet. Perfect balance of sun and shade. Plenty of room for the horse trailer, travel trailer, and portable corral. My dogs were in heaven exploring the property and we felt completely safe letting them do so. No place for them to get in trouble. We really appreciate that Steven was so quick to respond when our other reservation fell through. He saved our vacation!

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.

Luke and his family were the best hosts you could imagine. They helped us reinforce our tent for the rain, offered to let us milk the cows, ride horses, and explore their farm. We will 1000% come back here. It was so private and a perfect reprieve from everyday life. Thanks Luke!
