Heritage Hills isn't called Heritage Hills for nothing! It's situated on 21 acres of what was the original Wawonowin Country Club, a 9-hole golf course that was built in the early 1800s and then closed in the mid 1960s. And now we have a beautiful mix of hardwoods and pines, forests and fields with multiplied non-motorized trails accessible right off the property. The very popular RAMBA bike trails are literally an ‘stones throw’ away! Our biggest site, Fairway Field is big enough for group camping that horse campers love, and one site, the Homestead, with an electric hookup. We don’t have a dump station or trash cans so please pack in and pack out.
Phone signal is good throughout the area and we are close to civilization for necessities and only 20 minutes from Marquette. So much stuff to do in this area!

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.

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!

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.

We had such a great stay here! Site 34 was super spacious and comfortable, and the bathrooms were really nice and clean. Having the rafting right at the campground was also incredibly convenient and made everything so easy. The owners were extremely nice, welcoming, and helpful throughout our stay. And of course, we loved meeting Biscuit, the cutest campground dog! 🐶❤️ We would definitely stay here again!

We had a very private campsite on pasture land and a wonderful tour by one of the family members. It’s a very hard-working, kind family running a very important small local farm. We were very happy to support them and meet them. Seeing the animals and learning how they were taking care of was a bonus and also very interesting to talk to the owner of the farm. Adam gave us an incredible tour and was very knowledgeable and very interesting to listen to and learn from. -Adrien, Liz and Amy

The place was peaceful and private. We picked this area up camp (rooftop tent) because it is literally right on the RAMBA bike trail. Beautiful area, single track and challenging in some areas or you can walk/hike the trails. I’m sure it’s gorgeous in the Fall too! Short distance to area towns. The hosts were great!

White Pine Farm is a local favorite of mine. I've been a few times and stayed at both Cozy Corner sites on the property. Cozy Corner I is the smaller of the two. It gives the same in the woods vibes as Cozy Corner II and is nicely shaded. This site is more suited for a one or two person tent, while Cozy Corner II could take a four or even six person tent. The site is fairly level and not terribly buggy. There's plenty of forage wood on the property, and they added a new little pond feature since the last time I was there, which was fun to discover. Pete is really hospitable and checked in with me via text upon my arrival and departure to see if I needed anything. White Pine Farm offers convenient access to many points of interest nearby including White Lotus Farms, nature preserves and several Metroparks. I've always enjoyed my stays at White Pine Farm and I'm looking forward to coming back again next season!

We had a great time camping here! The site was private although there are neighbors on both sides. There was plenty of tree cover and most of the time nobody was there which made it pretty quiet. There is some road noise but not continuous. There are trees between you and the road. The port a potty was a little full but usable. It has a nice circle loop to get in and out easily. There was a nice flat spot super close to the water to park our 22 foot camper. So awesome to hear the waves with our windows open. They have a nice picnic table to use. There’s also a nice big fire pit over to the side. It was nice and shaded by the fire pit area. The sun comes right in your camp in the evening. Beautiful sunsets every night. We caught a bunch of walleye and a couple of small mouths. There are lots of beautiful waterfalls nearby. The host was very quick to respond when we were looking for the water. There is a hose across the driveway at the neighbors. The first one you pass coming into the driveway. Overall it was awesome and we will be coming back.
