Weekend Trip to The Vine Wilderness Glamping
We booked this site last minute and were so thankful it was instantly approved. The hosts were kind and quick to help when Google Maps sent us a bit off track. Once we arrived, the space felt like a hidden little retreat tucked into the woods.
It’s easy to imagine a young family making memories here… kids playing badminton, chasing fireflies, roasting marshmallows, and drifting off to the sound of crickets and frogs.
The setup includes a portapotty with a foot-flush and small sink, an outdoor shower, a futon, a queen air bed, and two cots. There’s a picnic table with umbrella, a coffee press and kettle, simple dishes and cups, a small grill, games, coloring books, and polyester linens. Everything was tidy and looked newly stocked for the season.
The drive in is a narrow, bumpy two-track… best for a smaller 4x4. Once you’re settled, it’s peaceful and quiet, with a wide open sky full of stars.
The hosts clearly care about creating a welcoming, family-friendly place to unwind. The mattress wasn’t the comfiest and the tiki torches were empty, but those are small details in an otherwise thoughtful stay.
We enjoyed our night here and can see it being perfect for a family weekend… laughter by the fire, s’mores in hand, surrounded by the sounds of nature. ♥️🌲🖖🏻

Weekend Trip to The Vine Wilderness Glamping
This was an incredible glamping experience! We came up to Sleeping Bear dunes for our anniversary trip and stayed here for a night. The bell tent is absolutely adorable and had everything we needed, secluded in the forest. Highly recommend this magical spot!

Weekend Trip to Schoolie Bus Camp & Camping Area
The school bus was great! We took our 2 year old on a long trip in Michigan and stayed at multiple 5 star hotels. What was his favorite? The school bus! We enjoyed late night fires and easy slow wake ups! Our son particularly enjoyed opening and closing the bus door manually. In summary, we made fond memories in the school bus!

5 stars! What’s a great spot. It was easy too find and close to so many fun spots . The tent was in perfect condition, the beds/bedding and pillows were very comfortable. Everything we needed to grill up some steaks was already there! The tiki torches and citronella candles that the host provided did the trick, bugs were really not bad by the tent area. Carts were provided for the way out to the tent which takes just a couple minutes and is a pretty walk! The host helped us out with some extra wood and some washing water. The bathroom and shower was clean and the portable charging station and fan in the tent was a great touch! The host was also very responsive . 10/10 spot and will stay again until the future!

Weekend Trip to Camp Moonshadow
This lil camper was adorable and Robb & Jeanne helped make it smooth with everything you could need - water, a mini fridge, soft lights outside, a fire pit with wood & kindling, and the list goes on! Their instructions were helpful and thorough. The place was clean, quiet, and oh so quaint. Would definitely stay again the next time I'm in Michigan!

Great experience. It rained and the firewood got wet so couldn’t make a fire but they refunded me my money for that the next day. Would recommend!

This was a wonderful glamping experience in the yurt. The hosts were very accommodating with carts at the entrance for the short walk to the yurt. The disc golf basket was a great activity. Very nice space and set up at the site. Would highly recommend!

Unique stay with a lot of character! Was so glad to see a small AC unit since it was 92 out when we got there. Located close to great sights and a fun little brewery. We enjoyed the cozy rope lights and played cards in the ambiance. We slept so hard it was unreal! Loved the privacy of the location but had a couple chicken visitors! Do read the description well - you need to bring your own everything including TP.

Weekend Trip to The Vine Wilderness Glamping
Wow! What an amazing find. Georgia and Steve have thought of everything. We had the best two nights glamping on their land. The tent was huge, clean, and stocked with all the amenities we needed for cooking and enjoying our time. The beds were comfy, the shower was hot, and the outdoor area was perfect for relaxing and cooking over the fire.
It was the small touches that really amplified our experience—from the couch and game selection to provided towels, fire-cooking utensils, spices, fairy lights, tiki torches, and even thoughtful details like a mirror.
Most of our party is around 6’, and we could all stand comfortably in the tent and shower, and fit comfortably in the beds.
The location was perfect for our weekend trip to hike Sleeping Bear Dunes and explore the nearby lakeside towns.
We loved our stay and will definitely be back!

Super fun night under the stars! Convenient to Sleeping Bear and Glen Lake. Great way to have family do something outdoorsy without having to do all the leg work. Found it pretty easy. The beds were comfy, the shower gets hot water, and the porta potty flushes! Would stay again!

Weekend Trip to The Vine Wilderness Glamping
This spot is such a gem! Gregoria and Steve have gone above and beyond to provide the ultimate glamping experience! Hot shower was so nice and the porta john has a little sink and towel and a pump flush for the toilet. There is a grill and a fire pit with cooking grate. It had just rained so they provided us with two little fire starters and they have campfire wood bundles available right at the site that you can pay cash for. The tent itself was wonderfully appointed, bedding and towels are provided. They also provided little rechargeable lights and a charger- even some games! There were three hammocks set up and little weenie roaster sticks too. We had such a fabulous stay. Anybody trying to visit an Interlochen camper (or teacher in our case) should absolutely try this spot as a low cost alternative to a hotel or Airbnb. Also super close to the beach and cute coastal towns. Would definitely come back. Thank you!

My family and I enjoyed staying in John’s bus. Our three kids stayed in the bus and my wife and I slept in our roof top yep adjacent to the bus. We were out in the Charlevoix-Petoskey area for much of the trip but it was nice to be able to come back to the bus after our excursions. Having a bathroom was nice and we enjoyed having the tables, chairs, and fire ring. There was plenty of room for horseshoes and badminton and we had great views of the stars. The road noise from the highway is a little loud at night but we all had a great time.

Loved staying at Gregoria and Steve’s bell tent! It was so nice to have a secluded spot with everything so nicely set up. We had 4 adults staying and had plenty of room-the tent was very spacious, the bedding comfortable. Everything we needed was provided (grill, bedding, towels, hot shower, flushing port-a-john with hand washing station, picnic table and camp chairs). Carts were provided at the parking area for the short hike to the tent. We were able to enjoy a fire. And, it was only 15 minutes to Beulah Beach area and about 25 minutes to Sleeping Bear Dunes hikes. Great place to stay!

This glamping site was very spacious (on the inside and out) and well-furnished. We were especially pleasantly surprised by a few unexpected amenities that our kids loved, like some games and glow sticks, etc. There was a grill, coffee press and teapot, some roasting sticks, towels, dish soap, some charged up lanterns, etc etc. The twin cots were surprisingly comfortable and my husband and I slept well on the double mattress also. One thing to note is that there is a short hike from the car to the campsite, but the hosts provided a couple of carts to make it easier to haul things back and forth, which was great. Finding the site was also a little tricky so I would definitely recommend checking in in the daytime and following the provided instructions! Oh - and check out St. Ambrose Cellars which is just a couple mins away, has a beautiful outdoor space, live music, great pizza, and delicious beer, mead, and wine!

1 night at Schoolie Bus Camp & Camping Area
The schoolie was a great place to call home for a few nights in the heart of Charlevoix. The bus was spacious and there was ton of room to run around. We enjoyed yoga in the lawn in the morning and stargazing at night. Although you could see the road from the picnic benches, not many people drove by.
Make sure to bring your own blankets, cookware and dine ware! Otherwise the bus has all of your basic necessities.
Make sure to check out Fisherman’s Island for a beach day and Friske’s Farm Market for great pizza and baked goods (+ fresh cherries and berries)

The camp site was lovely and secluded. The tent was so comfortable and had everything we needed. The host also dropped off a goody basket with treats the kids would enjoy. This was a wonderful glamping experience and we will return.
