Mr. Joe’s Campsite is an absolute hidden gem. From the moment I arrived, I felt this instant sense of calm—like the whole place just lets you breathe a little easier. It’s wonderfully quiet, peaceful, and perfectly tucked away from all the usual chaos, making it the ideal spot to unwind.
The grounds are clean, spacious, and thoughtfully maintained, and you can tell there’s real care put into keeping everything comfortable for guests. Whether you’re sitting by the fire, sipping your morning coffee, or just listening to the sounds of nature, the atmosphere is genuinely relaxing.
Mr. Joe himself is warm, welcoming, and clearly takes pride in his campsite. It makes the whole experience feel personal in the best way.
If you’re looking for a calm, cozy getaway with just the right touch of charm, this is the place. I’ll definitely be back!

We set up camp in the back location and it was a nice stay. Great spot for pets as they have plenty of room to run around. Nice trails throughout the woods to check out. The night sky was the best! We could see every star imaginable! Would recommend!

The camp spot on Luke's farm was lovely. While we requested the kayaks for their pond, we did not end up using them. The space was very private. We had a little trouble getting to the space as the direction listed in the booking did not land you immediately into the space, but more like adjacent. We arrived late and it was dark out so we had a tough time knowing where to turn, there was very little signage to indicate where exactly to go, and we did not have the best cell service. We made it to their farm and we were given a map.
Overall, i would stay there again and recommend to anyone looking for a quiet and peaceful time out in nature. The views of the autumn foliage were abundant. Thank you!

Holly is an amazing post she's very friendly and kind. She has a beautiful piece of property located in quaint little piece of the woods. There's plenty of room for parking of a car and a RV. She is very accommodating. Also has a beautiful fire pit for nights outside. I was struggling with my propane in my RV and Holly was kind enough to let us use her grill.

Great little campground, nothing fancy but everything was clean and well kept. The host was great and went above and beyond to make our stay perfect. Checked in with us to make sure everything was going good. Definitely planning to go back.

Nice quite and secluded rustic camping. Plenty of room in between each camp site(50 to 100 feet) with tree's and bushes in between. Porta potty was very clean with plenty of supplies. There is even a disc golf course on site. There is also a convenience store and Dollar General 3minutes away.

Quiet and peaceful. Sites were very private, and the host was great at communication. Not many amenities, but it is great for rustic style camping. Would recommend. I'd like to try the disc golf course next time

My husband and I rented a site here for our anniversary and we had a great time! The owner was very welcoming and super chill!
The showers and restrooms are very clean and smelt good.
We will bring our kids here too since there’s an open area with things for kids to do and places for parents to hang out!
We came up to ride the trails and there are plenty of spots to start that fun!
Thank you, Thomas for being a great host! I’m sure we will be back.

Grays River Camp was awesome. Angie was a super host and very pleasant to talk with. Attentive to needs and making sure campers are happy. She has done a lot with the campground for improvements, making sure there is a little bit for everyone to have fun outdoors or indoors in the case of bad weather. It was very quiet, clean and peaceful camped along the river. Plenty of room to walk dogs if you have them. We floated the Muskegon during our stay. Angie dropped us off at a riverside park in Big Rapids and we paddled and fished our way back to camp. We enjoyed ourselves so much that we are camping there again the following weekend. I would highly recommend this camp to anyone looking to get away from the congested state campgrounds and larger RV resorts. Great for RV’s and Tents. There is a dump station for RV’s which was a blessing. Thanks Angie, we look forward to coming back.

I felt very welcomed and had fun helping around the garden. Loved seeing the ducks. We stayed right in the backyard, even though the woods were a great option too! Fun time, would come again.

We stayed for three nights and absolutely loved it here. The property is peaceful, right on the river, and has a unique charm with the old buildings from when it was a church camp built in 1940’s.
The host was very friendly and easy to communicate with before our trip, which made everything smooth. On-site, they’ve clearly put thought into making it comfortable—there are snacks (even ice cream if you want it), clean bathrooms and showers, a dump station, firewood for purchase, and convenient hookups with 30-amp power and a water spigot close by. The rail trail runs right past the property, which was perfect for walks, and there was plenty of room for our dogs to explore.
What made this trip even better was that my parents, who aren’t campers, came along and stayed in one of the handful of cabins on site. It worked out perfectly and gave us all a chance to enjoy the peaceful setting together.
What we appreciated most was how small and quiet it felt—not crowded at all, just relaxing and easy. We’d definitely recommend it to anyone looking for a peaceful getaway with modern conveniences and a touch of history. We wished we could have stayed longer!

We had a great time on Bear’s site. The land was beautiful and peaceful, and Bear was extremely welcoming and friendly. We would definitely go back again.
