Weekend Trip to Boone Farm & Forest

Very spacious, well maintained campsite with hiking trails, access to a clean portable restroom, nice fire pit, bundles of firewood onsite for a very reasonable price and beautiful views. The host was amazing and answered questions in a timely manner. Will absolutely be saying again.

Beautiful property and secluded site. The check-in instructions and registration flyer was very helpful. It was also easy to find some downed timber to supplement the firewood we brought. There’s awesome trails to hike / bike nearby at Brighton Rec Area.

Weekend Trip to Thousand S.’s Land

Camped with the fam and had a great time. Secluded and we were not bothered by anyone. Kids and dog were able to explore the surrounding woods. Beautiful area for sure. Does have a train that goes by, but we were used to the noise of that after the first day. 10 out of 10 would recommend for family or individuals looking for a calm, quiet, breath of fresh air. Thanks Thousand suns!

Weekend Trip to Boone Farm & Forest

I really enjoyed this campsite. Lots of open space! The creek at the sight made beautiful relaxing sounds. Large areas with shade, long trails, and a lot of wild life making amazing sounds all over.

Weekend Trip to Tom and Julie's Place

We enjoyed camping on Julie's land. The walk in site is nicely tucked in and very private. The property has clear signs for all camping spots. We appreciated also received a message in advance informing us that there was no more firewood for sale for that day. We prepared accordingly and had a nice camping trip.

Weekend Trip to Boone Farm & Forest

The site is totally private and tranquil. The trails and property are stunning. The amenities make camp life much easier. Feels and is remote but is still very close to shopping/essentials. Caitlin was an amazing host.

Weekend Trip to Tom and Julie's Place

And it’s absolutely perfect for our group. From the communication to the lay of the land and the outhouse, the site has everything you need for a great night of camping. The site is open enough to play catch, frisbee or any kind of lawn game. Plenty of trees to hammock and plenty of flat areas to tent. There is a sled where you park so you can pull your gear to the site, we appreciated that. Just an overall great experience with thoughtful hosts!

The worker was very helpful and the camp site was nice with multiple fire pits, outhouse, and a picnic table. The nearby train can get a bit loud but it didn't bother us too much.

LARGE GROUPS - We are hosting events! Graduation parties, small weddings, family reunions, you name it. You can rent the whole campground for a day a night, a weekend, or a whole week if that suits your need. Just send us a message and we can talk about it. We can also accommodate large groups at a single campsite or you can rent several of them. Our primary guideline is that if your event will be held while other campers are here, it cannot disturb them. So, consider renting the whole campground. IMPORTANT NOTICE: Please plan to arrive and set up camp between 3 and 9 PM. If you are planning to arrive after 9 PM, please send us a message letting us know. We decide on a case by case basis since we prefer not to have late arrivals. In any event we do not accept arrivals after 11 PM except in an emergency since many campers and your host may have already gone to bed. Overview: Our beautiful 10 acre farm and homestead is situated between Ann Arbor and Dexter not far from the Huron River. The 5 acre area where our campsites are located is wooded with mature oak, maple, walnut, elm, and white pine trees. We're isolated and surrounded by wild areas and natural farm land but just a 10 minute drive to restaurants, groceries, fuel, and other amenities. The Ann Arbor area is home to a huge array of world class events from the Ark music venue to National Champions Michigan home football games and a whole lot more. Downtown Ann Arbor or Dexter or Chelsea is only a 15 minute car drive.
