Easy spot to get to driving; location and directions are accurate. Appreciated the heads up of minimal cell service for Verizon customers. Beautiful spot in the woods. Sandy, flat soil makes tent stakes easy to go in. Plenty of privacy from the road and nearby buildings. A little more road noise than anticipated, but not that bad. Host provided everything needed at the camp site and more: private area for showers/changing, plenty of firewood, picnic table, drinking water, extra table (very helpful!), fire pit, portapot that was exceptionally clean and fully stocked. Host was great at communicating before and during the stay. Location is convenient to all rivers, hiking, etc. in the area. Would stay here again and recommend for anyone wanting to stay in the area!

This site was exactly what I was looking for: private and secluded, but not totally isolated. I felt very safe here as a solo female traveler.
Ideal for car camping, camper vans/small trailers. There is a clean port a potty, garbage can, fire pit and picnic table. The site has its own road that leads to it. Surrounded by national forest land and less than 30 minutes from Lake Michigan beaches. Will definitely be camping here again soon!

We loved camping at Sandy Fern. It was very private at quiet. We loved it because it was like boondocking, but with full hookups! The site is huge and is a pull through, so no issue getting into it. They also have a wonderful fire pit and horse shoes. We had a great time and highly recommend if you like piece and quiet.

We really enjoyed staying at patchwork. The hosts were very kind, great hospitality. Especially our dogs did not have to be on leash or in fence during our stay. It was very peaceful. Close to a lot of great towns and beaches. Will be going back for a return booking

Camp Sandyfern completely exceeded our expectations. From firewood to WiFi, everything we needed was right there—and honestly, we weren’t expecting that level of comfort! The hosts were incredibly thoughtful, checking in occasionally via text just to make sure we were doing great. They also provided clear, easy-to-follow instructions that made getting there and settling in a breeze. We stayed for 3 nights and genuinely wish we had booked 5—it was that good. A perfect blend of nature and convenience. We’ll definitely be coming back

We had a great time tent camping at Camp Firefly. The location feels very private but having neighbors nearby made us feel safer should something happen. There was a nice spot for the tent and many fallen sticks to keep the fire going. Unfortunately, both public showers available were out of order, but that couldn't be helped and we were okay with roughing it for a few days. Overall a very fun time, and Misty was very responsive to any questions.

If you’re looking for a peaceful slice of paradise near Traverse City, this small farm is it. The property is absolutely charming, with wide-open skies, rolling fields, and the kind of quiet that makes you want to stay forever. What really sets this place apart, though, are the hosts — two of the kindest, most welcoming people you could hope to meet. They’ve created a space that feels both relaxing and personal. Electric hookups were available and easy to access, which made our stay even more comfortable. If you’re lucky enough to snag a spot here, don’t hesitate — it’s a special place you won’t forget.
