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.

In the beautiful backdrop of the Keweenaw Peninsula of Upper Michigan (U.P.), we've built a sustainable, off-grid retreat where you can design your own personal EcoXtreme adventure.

Ishpeming, MI · 4 sites · Tents, RVs, Lodging
Bells Acres is a large property with abundant history! Originally homesteaded by a Finnish family in the 1800s, we are only the 4th family to own this property. Doc Bell operated his veterinarian practice from this farm starting in 1915, giving his name to the creek running through the property and the lake it feeds. A family from Finland purchased the property from the Bell family in the 1960s and lived on the homestead until 2020 when we purchased it. We hope to continue the tradition of generational homesteading, while sharing this piece of God’s country with you!
Our property features a vast variety of terrain on over 40 acres for our campers to explore on and off trail. Wildlife enthusiasts can enjoy the chance to see deer, bear, moose, beavers, coyotes, waterfowl, upland birds, and more! You name it, it is here! Our dark skies allow for amazing views of the stars and northern lights! There is a common area near the pond that includes a pavilion with picnic tables, a fire ring, and swing benches to enjoy watching wildlife, sunrises and sunsets. Enjoy total serenity as there is minimal “noise” around us. Just nature at its best!
We hope that you will make Bells Acres your base camp for your next adventure! Unplug and unwind with us away from all the hustle and bustle! We are excited to be your host and share what we love about Marquette County and the surrounding areas!

Marquette, MI · 2 sites
Your host property is 13 acres between the Yellow Dog River, and Bear Lake, with frontage on both. The Yellow Dog River is a legendary trout stream, and many artists have found that the river satisfies their need for the wild. There are two cabin sites available, One overlooking Bear Lake with sunset views, and the other a cabin that was moved to the property in 1999 to preserve it.
Both sites share amenities such as the outhouse, communal fire pit and water, but the cabins are not in close proximity so everyone has their privacy. They are both rustic cabins having no running water, or electricity. A futon with mattress cover is provided in each cabin along with a table and chairs. See the individual site descriptions for more details.
We are 18 miles (app) north of Marquette, which is my home town.
It is a destination for bikers, skiiers, and outdoor rec folk!
There are so many things to see and do in Marquette, so make sure to plan enough time to check out the town!
Also, just six miles to our north is historic Big Bay.
A lumber town back in the day, it is full of history.
Check out the Thunder Bay Inn, where parts of Anatomy of a Murder, starring Jimmy Stewart and Lee Remick were filmed. Don't miss going to the Lumberjack to see where the actual murder took place, either!
You will find good eats and perhaps even some live music at either establishment.
You'll also find everything you need in the way of groceries, and gas at Drury's General Store, where there's also a laundromat.
Burns landing just north of the marina has the historic Burns family home renovated in a park setting, and a public beach access to mighty Lake Superior.
This park has picnic tables and grills, and even a handicap accessible outhouse and trail to the lake.
Yellow Dog falls is a short drive on Co. Road 510, and on the way be sure to climb Thomas Rock overlook.
There are new bike trails if you're into that as well!
Stay awhile.
You'll be glad you did!
We strive to offer peace and serenity to our guests, and love to share these woods with those needing tranquility and respite from a busy world. In this sensitive environmental area, we have only two sites to keep traffic down, enhance our visitors experience, and to protect the wildlife here.
Unplug with us, eh!

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.

The property was originally owned by a family name Nichols (thus the name of the lake). It was handed down to the sons who each owned half the property. The driveway down the middle of property that leads to the lake was originally a fence line that divided the two pieces of property. The brothers did not get along and their are several stories of their warring on how to maintain the property.My parents bought this piece of property in 1964 and created a camp called "Lakeside Farm Camp", a small all boys camp. The camp has gone through several changes since then but has always been owned by the Edwards family. In 1984 the name was changed to "Cedar Lodge" a coed camp that specializes in English horseback riding and offering high level general camp activities. Enjoy the peace and quiet of our totally private fresh water lake. Take your boat out for a day of fishing or just chill next to the fire. Sites are approximately 50 feet from each other. If you want privacy we suggest you book both.

Tired of noisy, crowded campgrounds? We've got you covered!
Welcome to our little slice of heaven along the Grand River in Grand Haven, MI. Voted one of the best places to visit in '22 and '23. Our property is at the end of a private road and has been in the family for decades. We fondly refer to it as One Grand Place and we are excited to be sharing it with you.
We have 2 parcels of land. Each would be just for you and only you. It's like having your very own private property when you are here.
One parcel has only 1 RV site with a cement pad, parallel to the river. Can accommodate 1 RV up to 30' (NO Class A's allowed). 30/50/standard 110 electric and water hookup. Pump out is available for a fee.
At the far west end of the property is our second parcel with 1 very large grassy RV site along the river with 30 amp and standard 110 electric and water. RV up to 30' (NO Class A's). Pump out is available for a fee.
If you don't have an RV, no problem. Rent our elevated popup RV.
There is plenty of room to set up games, fish, play with the kids or the dogs, etc. What's not to like?
Property is adjacent to Connor Bayou County Park and surrounded by natural wetlands. So, we are a perfect place to unwind, chill, enjoy fresh air and picture perfect sunsets.
Boating, swimming, jet skis, kayaking, paddleboarding, fishing are just a few things to be enjoyed on the water. There's a public boat launch just a couple minute ride and Connor Bayou Park has a kayak specific boat launch. Or, you can also drop a kayak in at the very west end of our property right from shore.
Hiking, biking and wildlife/bird/eagle watching are also options. Lake Michigan beaches, various state/county parks, downtown Grand Haven's shops and restaurants are just a short drive away.
Holland is about 30 minutes south. PJ Hoffmaster State Park is 25 minutes North. If you are a thrill seeker, Michigan's Adventure Amusement and Waterpark is 40 minutes North in Muskegon. Grand Rapids is 40 minutes to the East. There are also many wineries, distilleries, ciders and craft beer in Southwest Michigan as well as "you pick" blueberries and many festivals in the summer. Bottom line....there is plenty of things to do and see during your visit. You can be as active or as chill as you want to be.

We had a great time reconnecting with nature! The treehouse was a fun, exciting place to sleep. Dede was very responsive and helpful. This place is a wonderful little retreat tucked away, and yet not far from great beaches and beach towns. We added a hand drumming lesson and Dede did a great job meeting us where we were, skill wise and is clearly a professional musician as well as a skilled teacher.

We loved our stay at the pond cabin. The hand built cabin had so many beautiful details. We enjoyed seeing the chickens and cows on the farm. There were lots of humming birds, squirrels and baby ducks on the pond! Jill really thought of everything, the cabin was well stocked with everything We needed. The folder she made explained everything about the cabin and had maps of the area. We hiked to Hogsback mountain right from the cabin, it was only 30 minutes away! So glad we found this place and hope to visit again soon. Thank you Jill and Nick for sharing your beautiful property!

4 nights at Bear Lake Meets da Yellow Dog
The land is beautiful and the cabin was very cozy. The rustic setup was nice for enjoying the silence and bird songs. Right next to two bodies of water, the Yellow Dog River great for wading and the hosts provide kayaks and a canoe on Bear Lake for free! Amenities (propane, firewood) reasonably priced. Great location with hiking opportunities around, our favorites were Yellow Dog Falls and Thomas Rock. Big bay is closeby town with a great ice cream parlor and an extensive beach on Lake Superior with views of the cliffs to the west. The host is very kind and respectful and has a lot of knowledge about the land and nearby destinations. Access road is driveable for most cars, no offroad/4x4 needed. Would absolutely recommend for anyone wanting a relaxing stay in the woods.

Weekend Trip to Sacred Sound Center: Campground
If you’re looking for a peaceful escape surrounded by nature, this treehouse is hard to beat. We loved exploring the nearby trails, and spending time in the beautiful hemlock fern gully, it felt like stepping into a hidden forest oasis. The treehouse itself was a unique and memorable place to stay, making the whole experience feel special.

Wonderfully placed in the woods with everything you need. The only thing I would do differently is to spray something for mosquitoes other than that it was a perfect stay and I was pleasantly surprised by the outhouse. It was relatively clean and not bad ant all, very impressed with my stay. Will definitely come back! Rick was very nice and hospitable…

Weekend Trip to Sacred Sound Center: Campground
It was a lovely sight. Although I was unable to stay at the treehouse, I was able to stop by and see it. It was a very peaceful, serene spot. The treehouse was small, not room for much stuff but on the other hand, quite cozy. I hope to try a stay again when conditions are better for me personally. Dede was an attentive host who responded quickly to comments or concerns.

We had a great time here! The cabin was well stocked and kept us warm all night. It was far enough from Rick’s house that it still felt very private, but we knew he was accessible if we needed anything. He was a great host, and we plan to come back again!

Beautiful property to explore with littles. Julie provides a great welcome basket for the fire pit.
Farm tour is a must to meet and feed all the animals. Close to Lake Michigan / South Haven is fun to explore / good hiking nearby.
Would have been a great location for star gazing but we had cloudy skies, the few stars that broke through were bright!
Would recommend and we hope to go back with friends.
