The best private sites RV campgrounds near Cadillac, Michigan

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!

Very peaceful and serene land, the property couldn’t be set up better away from everything no distractions just you and nature will definitely be going again!

Weekend Trip to Secluded Woodsy Camp by the River

The site was very private and I would recommend this site for other campers. My 3500 sprinter fit, but any larger may be challenging.

Deer Path was a perfect get away for us. I was a little nervous about having neighbor's so close, but there was no need. The set up of the site and full hook ups felt very private. We loved sitting by the river and watching a Blue Heron fishing in the river as well as watching a herd of a dozen deer cross the river 100 feet from us. Megan stopped by to confirm that everything was perfect for our stay and it was. I highly reccommend this location with no reservations!

This place was amazing. The campsite was huge and very private. The amenities were clean and ready to use. The lights going down to the river was a nice touch. Would recommend 10 0ur 0f 10.

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.

Weekend Trip to Sherman City Acres

Had the best weekend getaway. There’s a large flat space at the top near the road with a picnic table and fire ring near the very clean porta-Jon. There is a steep hill on the path down to the tent site, but it’s worth hauling your stuff down and back up. The tent site is incredible, right on the river, plenty of privacy, lots of flat shady areas to put your tent. The river was quite low this weekend and slow moving, which matched our pace perfectly. The campers at the next site were a bit rowdy and we could hear their music and loud vehicles, but they quieted down not long after 10pm, and we couldn’t actually see them from where we were. Still much better than a campground in my opinion.

My husband and I absolutely love Deer Path Lane! We’ve already been four times this year and are planning another trip in October — hopefully with some beautiful fall colors. Megan, Adam, the kids, Jane, and Pops are all so kind, welcoming, and helpful. They always make us feel right at home. We’re already looking forward to spending as much time as possible on the river in 2026 and hopefully making lots of wonderful memories along the way. This has truly become one of our favorite places to relax and recharge...

This property is amazing; private, great/easy full hook-up, clean, lots of space, 2 fire pits, and the area down by the river is so beautiful and peaceful! The river was clear and cold, and hardly any bugs. The sunrises over the cornfield across the street made the spot even more beautiful. Town was pretty close to grab supplies and pizza. We would absolutely come back again!

Very pleasant camp. Kind of a family centered commercial camp / hip-camp combo. We had a fine one-night stay. Terrific bathrooms and showers plus very nice host greeting.

I camped with a friend and our kids, and this spot was absolutely perfect. Quiet and peaceful right on the river, with plenty to keep the kids entertained. They loved fishing and swimming in the little “rapids” right off our site. Our host was incredibly responsive and helpful, even assisting us with kayaks and float options. We floated from our site down to the swimming hole two days in a row—another hidden gem! The kids had a blast on the rope swing there. We stayed three nights but wished we had booked longer. The kids were already asking to come back next year on our very first night. And the twinkle lights along the path and by the river were such a charming touch. We’ll definitely be back!

1 night at Secluded Campsites

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.
