Baroda, MI · 3 sites · Tents, RVs
This is a 3rd generation "Family Farm" of a different sort I suppose. Seems there's a bit of everything here, and arguably not enough of anything. At least for conventional farming. So we've learned to do things a bit differently.Our main crop is wine and juice grapes since our topography, climate, and soil type makes it a premier location for that. But with 30+ acres of forested hillsides, low ground, and natural areas we've evolved into a mixed farm and forest enterprise. Our goal is to utilize the productivity of all our property while still retaining the basic character and usefulness of the wild areas. Letting each thing be what it wants to be and does best on it's own. Flow, not force.So our year starts early with tapping maple trees and making maple syrup. Plus there's grape trimming about this time as well. When the forest floor starts to green up a bit later, we start digging Ramps, or Wild Leeks in the woods. Most of these will go to the more trendy Chicago restaurants, but we also have some local sales. Next comes inoculating winter-cut logs with Shiitake spawn for next years mushroom production. This year we also conducted a few hands-on workshop seminars on mushroom growing as well. Then it's on to our raised bed herb & veggie gardens. (Fresh herbs are just so much fun to cook with!) We grow enough for our own yearly use, as well as some for direct sales. Summer keeps us busy tending all the different crops here and trying to keep up. But there's that steady progression of fresh veggies to eat. Yum !!! Fall brings our annual Grape U-Pick in September and October. And we try to time related crops like mums, pumpkins, and gourds for this same time frame. Makes the place a bit more interesting. Late fall is when we bring in firewood to heat the house and workshop. Stacks of wood everywhere. Hopefully before the 1st snow. In winter it's time to fire up the woodworking shop and be a bit creative. Build furniture, equipment maintenance, who knows what next years projects will include. I like to keep everybody guessing.So, that's what goes on here. You're welcome to check it out, lend a hand, relax back at camp, walk the vineyards and/or forest, or just breathe and relax. That's up to you. But I would recommend visiting a few of the fine local wineries. Seems there's a festival going on at one or another of them just about every weekend. Good music, good wine, good times. And there's the Lake Michigan beaches a few miles down the road.Yeah, this is a pretty casual place here, love meeting new people, very open to civil discussions of all sorts.However, rude, ill mannered people will probably enjoy staying elsewhere. Just say'n.

Bangor, MI · 4 sites · Tents, RVs, Lodging
2Chicks And A Farm is a small working farm on 20 acres, owned and run by Julie & Theresa Graham. We are 13 minutes from South Haven and Lake Michigan, 30 minutes from the city of Kalamazoo and just under an hour from Grand Rapids.
Those of you who have visited in the past will notice that we significantly downsized this year. Due to Township and State regulations, we are now limited to offering only four campsites unless we get licensed, which at this time is cost prohibitive. So, we have selected the four most highly rated sites and upgraded them, to truly make your experience here special.
About half of the 20 acres is wooded, with walking trails around the property, to include our fish stocked pond and a little tributary of the Black River.
All sites have a fire ring, or metal fire pit, and picnic table.
We have an outdoor propane shower that provides both hot and cold water.
A free refreshment bar is available 24/7. Feeling a little peckish before breakfast, or after dinner? Help yourself to a snack and a hot or cold drink.
You are welcome to collect eggs for breakfast and fresh produce from our gardens (for a fee).
We are a working farm and registered as two Non-Profits. One an animal rescue, primarily working with cats. At any given day we have 20-30 cats roaming around the farm. All are under the care of our vet, vaccinated, spayed or neutered and treated for fleas and ticks. All important because they will want to interact with you. Some will want to sleep with you.
Our 100 plus flock of poultry, comprised of chickens, ducks, geese and turkeys, free range during the day, so leave the Prada's at home.
If you are staying at Sam's Place, your closest neighbors will Penelope and Petunia, our two female sister pigs. The prevailing winds are down from your site, but you may hear them squabble. Our herd of Nigerian Dwarf goats will love your attention and treats we can provide. Arriving in March is Jack, a miniature donkey...we are very excited!
Please try to check-in by 8pm. Exceptions can be made. There are locally mandated quiet hours (10-7 Sun through Thur, and 11-7 Fri and Sat). Hanging out by a fire and chatting is fine.

While the farm is sprawling, there are multiple houses across the property so stay on established trails only and keep your noise levels down. This is a working farm, so you may occasionally see trucks or tractors.

Bear Tree Homestead is nestled among the cliffs and ravines which drains the south face of Hogback Mountain located in Marquette Township Michigan.
Hogback Mountain is one of the larger rock formations in the Huron Range, a surprisingly rugged, and diverse region of low mountains carved by glaciers.
Each cabin is hand-built of log and stone using traditional Scandinavian building tools and techniques. The cabins have access to the pond, use of the canoe, a private fire pit, picnic table, charcoal grill and privy. Inside the cabins is a functional kitchen with dishes, flatware, pots and pans, so you can prepare meals onsite. Cabins also have table and chairs as well soft chairs/sofa sitting area, bookshelves with a variety of books, board games and puzzles, and covered porch in case of rain.
Our buildings, gardens, and pastures are integrated into the forested landscape and are not your typical homestead. Enjoy the peaceful surroundings, collect fresh eggs (when they are laying), lay in the hammock, listen to the sounds of nature and the barnyard or take an adventure hike, bike ride, snowshoe, or ski right out the door.
One of the most wonderful things we have to offer is the accessibility to thousands of protected acres surrounding us and the trails that bisect them. The property is on the North Country Trail, just over a Noquemanon Trail Network Forestville trailhead where access to year round recreation awaits. Hogback Mountain is just up the trail from the cabin with spectacular views of forest, mountains and lake superior.
We are located 8 miles from downtown Marquette in Michigan's Upper Peninsula where there are many great restaurants, shops, and brewpubs.
However, once you drive into Bear Tree Homestead and settle in you will not want to leave.

This was a beautiful spot and the owners are amazing, they have really put some hard work into this spot, beautiful sites and tons to explore! I had the pleasure of getting a tour of all the baby animals and what each building means to these owners. Such a special place, 100% recommended to stop by and explore this wonderful property during this camping season. We stayed at the vine camp with our off grid set up and it was a great weekend, we rode our bikes down to the main farm, we canoed down the canal and we were supplied with firewood to keep a fire going the whole weekend! Thank you guys again and we look forward to many more adventures here!

We’re repeat campers here for many reasons. We love this camp! Betty and Marty are excellent hosts and kind humans. Warm and welcoming.. The farm is beautifully maintained and the facilities are great. Cutest and cleanest outhouse I’ve ever seen and the shower is great too. Location is fantastic for privacy and proximity to things to do in the area. We will definitely be back! Thanks for sharing your space Betty Ann, Marty, Marley and Jazzy 😊

This was our first time on this site. Rain kept us from enjoying it to the max, but we had the flexibility to camp in an alternate spot and the night was great.

Where do I even begin, this was hands down the best hip camp I've ever stayed at, and I've been at quite a few across the US!!! Our host Kim was absolutely amazing. Literally from the minute we pulled in she was waiting for us at the gate until the time we left when we we had a conversation with her and her husband around a bonfire this morning. The experience was so natural and just full of surprises. There are plenty of trails and little ponds to go look at or even go catch a few fish in the big pond. Our host even offered us use of there kayaks and paddle boat. There are lots of different farm animals there from ducks to Emus, we even got to see a goat be born the first night there.

Stayed under a big, old oak tree. It was beautiful, private, and quiet. Definitely recommend.

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!

Fantastic spot! Tucked far from anyone or any road. You might hear some faint noise but there is a feeling of privacy that was very welcome. Would absolutely stay here again. As a solo female traveler I would stay here and sleep well.
Verizon was better than expected. Don’t forget your bug spray!

4 nights at Bear Tree Homestead
It was delightful to unplug for a few days and explore the local area with a friend. Dark skies, a stunning hand-built cabin in beautiful surroundings and lots of space to wander and hike.
It's a little challenging to find, but Jill sends detailed instructions beforehand. And their livestock guardian dogs are so sweet, but true to their jobs, do bark through the night. Otherwise so peaceful and beautiful, and full of such intention, hard work and love.
(oh, and the cookies are SO good!)

5/5 stars for our stay at Kim's beautiful getaway! Maybe an odd thing to lead with, but it had absolutely the nicest outhouse I've ever been in, and it just shows how much pride the owners have in their property. The tent site is covered in sand which makes tent staking a breeze. Other lovely touches: a tablecloth on the picnic table, an extra table for food prep, trees for hammocks, firewood in a covered box, an adjacent property with bird sanctuary and pond with kayaks. Short drive to area nature sites and beaches. Will definitely be back!

Weekend Trip to Provision Family Farms
We absolutely adored our stay in the treehouse and were thrilled to watch the farm animals munching away in all the different pastures! Plus, being JRR Tolkien fans, it was a real treat to see the hobbit hole under construction! And with the lake right there, we had a blast getting our paddle boards in the water!

Hickory Hollow is a lovely campsite on the edge of a field. Very isolated and private with some shade near hickory trees. Had problems with rain and my tent but nothing to do with the campground. Carl was very accommodating and I was the only camper there. BTW the ticks are very bad this season in Michigan so use repellent and check yourself and animals. Would totally recommend campground and site; it is about 5 or 6 miles away from Manchester.

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.
