Hello, and welcome to Superior Times Resort and Campground!
We would like to take a moment and introduce ourselves. Our names are Tom and Heather Holmstrom. We were married in 2016 and have four children as part of our blended family. We are both originally from the Upper Peninsula. Superior Times Resort and Campground was the result of us wanting to do something “outside of the box” that would allow us to raise our family and show them there is more out there than the traditional path. We also wanted showcase our love and respect for the beauty of the Upper Peninsula; the area that many refer to as “God’s Country.”
In December of 2016, we mistakenly pulled into the driveway of this property. At that time, it was known as Coleman’s Paradise Resort. There was a For Sale sign marking the property. We both knew at that point our fate was sealed to become this property’s new owners. We learned that this property had been a family vacation destination for nearly 100 years. We could only imagine the special memories that had been made here over the years! We wanted to become a part of that deep history.
Through the many years of the resort’s history, the owners had changed and the cabins were showing true signs of their age. We knew there was A LOT of work that simply had to be done. On a wing and prayer, we somehow made this great resort ours. In April of 2017, we opened what we named Superior Times Resort and Campground. We pulled up or sleeves and went to work!
Thank you for choosing us and allowing us to be part of the memories that you create here. We know that you work hard for your own money, as we do. Knowing that you chose our resort to support, means a lot to our Superior Times and Resort family team. We truly appreciate your loyalty and give special thanks to our returning customers. There is nothing more rewarding to us than a return visit! It means to us that we have exceeded your expectations.
Thank you for considering us for your next vacation!
Tom and Heather Holmstrom

My 4 and a half acres have a natural pond on it. I no longer own a personal flock of ducks but plenty of wild feathered friends come to drink and swim. I am three miles from Lake Michigan and my town has a public access beach. I am surrounded by wineries, breweries, and antique stores. I am in the country but only a few miles off the expressway. Berrien County's adorable small towns are known for their special events all year round.
My sites are dispersed so first come first choice. Find a fixed Fire Ring and set up your camp! Or pick a spot without a ring - I do have portable free fire pits.

We adored our stay at Black River Trails Campground! Mike went above and truly beyond to make sure we had a great spot for our car camping set up. Not only was he super responsive and communicative prior to our stay, he was SO helpful during our stay, even taking us up river and offering kayak rentals for one of our favorite kayaking adventures to date. The river front camp spots, clean accessible toilets and the access to trails and adventures right near by made this such a great spot. We are so grateful for Mike for helping us make this getaway happen!

Unfortunately, dude to a mouse issue in our camper, we had to cancel the evening before our trip from Grand Rapids to Benzonia for the weekend. BUT, my band was playing a gig at 5 Shores Brewery just minutes from the campsite that evening, which Betty knew about. So, even though we had to cancel the camping trip, Betty still came to our show and said hello, danced with friends, and was incredibly sweet. We’re already scouring the calendar for a date to reschedule as the site looks amazing and the host simply could not be more wonderful. Thank you, Betty!

This was my first time using this app, and the campground said it was theirs, too. Upon arriving to Black River Trails Campground I was greeted by friendly people and found out that unfortunately my site had been double booked, and the campground was experiencing a power outage!! The owners put us in a spot that was kind of make-shift, which was fine for us because we had plans in town seeing family that weekend so I knew we wouldn’t be there for the “full camping experience”. The owners brought us over a generator and tended to it, to make sure we could keep on like normal and have our fridge up and running to keep our groceries all cold. The only thing I would have changed about it is, I wish we had a fire pit and a picnic table- we didn’t get to have a fire until Saturday night because our family came to stay at a cabin on the second night, they had a fire pit, however, it was an adorable little cabin, and everything you need if you don’t want to bring a tent. There was quite a bit of poison ivy and sumac around which was only hard to keep my toddler out of, but older kids would be fine. The bathrooms were great and the showers were a bit confusing at first (hot and cold were reversed) but that’s an easy fix once you realize it! Nice and spacious for changing after showering too. The fishing was great and everyone joined in! I think that this situation can be a learning experience- and we would still definitely camp here again.

We live in the lower part of west Michigan and wanted to do some sxs trail riding in the UP. Never having explored this part of our state, we picked this campground due to the positive reviews. Camp owner's communication was great and we learned there were trails right across the driveway from the camp before we even arrived. Upon arriving and getting settled in we were met with the bets camp host and later met the owner's of the campground. They, as locals, gave us great information on trails to ride. Looking forward to another visit and definitely recommend this quiet, clean and friendly campground.

Betty & Marty have the nicest little slice of paradise in Northern Michigan. If you are looking for someplace peacefully bucolic with mega positive vibes, this is it! We traveled with our 25' hybrid trailer and kids ranging from baby to teenager and everyone loved everything about Llovely Llama Meadows! There was a ton of space for our camper and family to unwind and relax. Betty and Marty take pride in the property and every detail is thought of. The hot water on demand shower was very much appreciated. The outhouse was very clean and easy to access. To describe the layout: the hipcamp sites are basically situated in a meadow with a small woody ravine going through it separating the RV electric sites (journey and caravan) and the tent sites. The tent sites are close to the fire pit/ring and outhouse area The RV sites are a <1 minute walk around on the other side of the woods/ravine. I also appreciate that they screen campers and don't have a bunch of loud party animals. It feels totally safe and calm and I am sure they enforce quiet hours if there is ever an issue. Their property is really close to a lot of nice places in the area. It was an easy drive into Sleeping Bear and Traverse City, although we really liked the smaller towns that are closer by, because SB and TC are really busy. My only regret is only staying 3 nights. We could easily stay here a week or longer and really enjoy ourselves! Can't wait to come back. Just book it!! You will be glad you did :-)

Where to go
Upper Peninsula
The Upper Peninsula is Michigan’s wild toupée, with swathes of old-growth forests, sandy beaches, and inland lakes stretching along the southern shore of Lake Superior. This is the spot to escape the crowds, whether pitching your tent by the sand dunes in the Pictured Rocks National Lakeshore, parking your RV by a waterfall in Tahquamenon Falls State Park, or yurt camping in the Porcupine Mountains. For the ultimate camping experience, the Hiawatha National Forest has some 60 campsites to choose from.
Northern Lower Peninsula
Bordered by Lake Michigan to the West and Lake Huron to the east, the northern Lower Peninsula has the highest concentration of Michigan state parks. Miles of mountain biking, horseback riding, and hiking trails await in the Huron National Forest, where you can choose from modern campgrounds or backcountry camping. Along the coast, Sleeping Bear Dunes National Lakeshore is a must-see, Wilderness State Park is a dark sky reserve, and Ludington State Park Beach is a family favorite.
Southwest Michigan
Grand Rapids is the gateway to Michigan’s southwest, where the shore of Lake Michigan provides plenty of options for a summer camping trip. Lakefront cities such as South Haven, Benton Harbor, and Holland have sandy beaches, historic lighthouses, and seafront campgrounds. Forget tent camping in the wilderness—RV sites come equipped with full hookups, playgrounds, and watercraft rentals.
Southeast Michigan
Michigan's "Thumb" juts out along the west shore of Lake Huron, where Sleeper State Park and Port Crescent State Park are the big draws for campers. Below this, the west coast is ideal for a road trip, peppered with shipwreck dive sites, secluded beaches, and golf courses. South of Detroit and Lake St. Clair, Sterling State Park is the only state park on the shore of Lake Erie, with a mix of RV and tent sites by the beach.
