Come stay in our fully equipped glamping tents (2 tents, sleeping 6–8 comfortably) on our little homestead, just a 5-minute drive from Lake Michigan and the charming beach towns of Montague and Whitehall.
We’re also close to incredible biking and hiking trails. Pack your camp gear and your clubs—Old Channel Golf Course, a 27-hole gem, is just down the road.
We provide the tents, Japanese floor beds, fitted sheets, pillows, and twinkle lights. Guests also have access to our home to shower and use the guest restroom, fully stocked with towels and toiletries by Fox Naturals. Laundry facilities are available if needed.
Your site includes a fire pit, perfect for evenings under the stars. Stargazing here is truly 10/10, with little light pollution—we often see the Milky Way! You’re also welcome to explore our 5 acres of woods right outside your tent. Electric hookups are available, and guests are encouraged to enjoy our garden and produce stand.
Pet-friendly (dogs must remain on leash for their safety, as the property is not fenced).

Christopher’s spot worked perfectly for us. My husband and I drove our motorhome three hours hours to Grand Rapids to listen to Doug Tallamy (Author of Nature’s Best Hope and founder of Homegrown National Park) at the Sherman Street Church just 12 minutes away. When we arrived at Michigan Cherry Tree it was as simple as pulling into the driveway. The spot was perfectly level and Chris had the extension cord ready for us to plug in to. We joined hanging around the fire pit for a bit before heading to bed. Slept well and arose the next morning to enjoy time hanging out in the beautifully planted yard with all the flowers, hummingbird, butterflies, bees and other pollinators. We will definitely stay again next time we visit Grand Rapids.

I had a wonderful time at Chris's for the weekend! He has a beautiful garden with great decorations, and the perfect spot for relaxing while still being right there on the city. I was attending an event at Devos Place, and I couldn't have asked for a better location.
That being said, it is a camp in a city - there are neighbors, and a lively business next door. Things definitely quiet down after sunset and the nights were very peaceful. A little noise doesn't bother me, but it is something to be aware of when you book.
The wildlife abounds - I saw butterflies, squirrels, honeybees, and even one very calm skunk that wandered through late one night!
The restroom is simple (camp bucket toilet) but works just fine. Chris provided everything that I needed during my stay, including fresh drinking water when I arrived. There was a nice patio table to have my meals at, which got lovely evening shade.
Chris is incredibly welcoming and kind, and I felt very safe during my stay. He gave easy to follow directions to find the place, and even recommended local eateries, a coffee shop, and some other things I might enjoy. I highly recommend this spot for a great landing spot while you adventure in and and Grand Rapids!

John has a great place to camp in! Very secluded with many trails to walk. An abundance of wood to burn and hardly any bugs. Very rustic, just a fire pit. John was nice and grabbed a table for me to use as I didn’t bring one. I was able to drive right up the site in my sedan, you won’t need to bring a truck or SUV. I’ll definitely be back.

We loved staying on John’s land. He has 120 acres we were free to explore and the stars were beautiful! The spot is located super close to Hess lake with a great restaurant close by we stopped at for dessert. Thanks again!
