Rock'n K Camp
5 sites · RVs, Tents40 acres · Millington, MI
My husband and I bought this farm a few years back after farming the land for many years. The property was once a working farm and has many old farm buildings. We fell in love with the country charm of this farm that
once housed chickens, cows, and many other farm animals.
The grain bin has been renovated into a gazebo with a bar top made out of 50 year old rough sawed planks.
There is plenty of grass and shade to park your RV or pitch your tent.
We have had many camping weekends with family and friends and would be delighted to share our "happy place" with others.

Beautiful Lake Shawood Sanctuary
1 site · RV, Tent1 acre · Novi, MI
Off for the Season. Depending on the weather, we may be able to accommodate you. Our current portable toilet bathroom setup is closed to prevent freezing. Feel free to connect with us.
Beautiful camping experience on our little slice of heaven. Lake Shawood is a beautiful, natural spring-fed, non-motorized lake that primarily borders the City of Novi's exquisite Lakeshore Park. Lakeshore Park has everything from playgrounds for very young children and older children, to picnic pavillions and a sandy beach, and miles of hiking, running, and biking trails.
We fell in love with this property the second we walked behind the old cottage.
I love nature and being outdoors, especially hiking and biking. We are still making improvements on the land with a small garden, which you are welcome to enjoy during your stay. Our big-picture vision is to renovate the old cottage and live in it.
This property has 1 large old oak tree and garden beds with flowers, herbs, and vegetables. (You can help yourself to any of the fruits or vegetables that are ripe)
We are on an old smaller home/cottage-style small residential street. Please keep in mind, that this is a spot for family and friend fun with the awareness of keeping it a sanctuary space for the neighbors as well.

The sunsets in this area are breathtaking.
Take a short 30-second walk and enjoy Pavilion Shore Park, a family-oriented park with a playground, swimming, fishing pier, and waterfront seating of Walled Lake. You’ll also find public restrooms which are open until 10 pm through the summer and a restaurant across the street.
