Heavily wooded forest with pine, maple, oak and birch. Undeveloped and quiet. The property is home to numerous bird species, deer, wild turkeys and squirrels. Occasional howls from distant coyotes and infrequent raccoons. The campsites are located on a hill dominated by tall pines overlooking the east facing property. Secluded, but only a 700 feet from the main residence. Only 1 1/2 miles P.J Hoffmaster's State Park and a 10 minutes ride to Grand Haven State Park/Lake Michigan. Campsites are rustic but we provide camp toilets, a picnic table and a waste container. Fresh water is available at the barn. We also provide a shelter with picnic tables and a charcoal park grille. A large community fire pit is available with wood provided for a small cost by the hosts. When arriving please drive to the end of the driveway towards the last house. The Flipside Acres sign will be on your right side. Drive down the gravel entrance and park where indicated by the red barn.

Pull off the blacktop onto the grassy drive running through the field and forest. The sites are just off of the road, and minutes from lots of local culture and recreation. We do have two sites available, but we'll only take one booking at a time. So, you'll have the area to yourself and your choice of campsites. Groups that add up to at least 8 people to the booking can use both sites. The clearing is about an acre and is surrounded by forest. Our home is next door, but you have your own drive.

Another great stay! As always Aaron was very accommodating and responsive. This is my go to spot in the Saugatuck area.

Unwind under the stars and take in a panoramic view of the river all night.

Great hospitality and communication. Julie helped us out with good directions and updates on the river, as we were canoeing in for the night. She even had a fire going for us when we arrived. Had a great time.

Nice and quiet. Many pull through sites. 300’ or less away from water in the off chance you forget to fill up before setting up like I did. I’m sure we’ll be back next year.

Absolutely loved Bob and Vicki’s land. The little walk to our site was nice and easy and they offered wagons to make our set up process super easy. Our site had everything we needed and offered enough privacy from the other sites. The communal fire pit was different than what we’re used to but had everything we needed and they even sold fire wood for a good price. The zip line made us feel like kids again, the turkeys were fun, and their dogs kept a watch on us while unpacking our car(we loved it). Bob and Vicki were so kind and offered any help they possibly could and gave fun recommendations as well! Would absolutely return. Thank you guys!

We loved camping on Bob & Vicki's land! Carts were provided for our walk through a beautifully lit wooded trail to our campsite. We appreciated the extremely clean camp toilet, trash can, & picnic table at each rustic campsite. It was fun to hear the pet turkeys, wild turkeys, and sit and watch a family of deer walk by several times while we ate. We utilized the community charcoal grill & although we didn't use it, there's a large shared firepit. Bob & Vicki have thought of every detail to make this the perfect HipCamp! We were sad we didn't book for a longer stay but we will be back!

Such a nice little piece of land. The bathrooms were immaculate and I even got a hot shower! It is about 300 ft from main road so we could hear some road noise, but it was also nice to be able to go grab ice, etc from a nearby gas station when needed. Great experience overall :)

We loved our time at Trestle Bell! It was so nice to arrive to our site and have firewood waiting for us, as well as potable water. We really enjoyed the riverside location near Fennville and it was a short drive to Saugatuck and Douglas.

We had a great stay. There was a playground, volleyball court, and pavilion with lights that come on at night which was wonderful for walking around in the dark as it was centrally located to help light the path to the bath house. The bathrooms were clean and we were happy to have flushing toilets and a shower. It was quiet while we were there and our site was spacious.
