We set up camp in the back location and it was a nice stay. Great spot for pets as they have plenty of room to run around. Nice trails throughout the woods to check out. The night sky was the best! We could see every star imaginable! Would recommend!

Great place to camp. Fit my pop-up toy hauler perfectly (2007 StarCraft RT13) Well maintained with a few trails around the farm. Host was amazing! We will definitely be staying again.

The main road in (12 Mile Road) was way more rugged than I had expected. That being said, the site was very remote and extremely peaceful. You can probably make it in (as others suggested, come in from the west off Hemlock) with 2WD, but I was glad I had 4WD for peace of mind.
Also, the site it beautiful! The electric hookup was super convenient. The shower appeared to be hooked directly to the well water line. However, there was a heater there ready to be installed. We used my solar shower which was decently warm.
There are plenty of trails on site and my dog had a blast being off leash the entire week. We did venture into Hungerford for a much longer hike. There was a super nice couple there our first night, but we had the place to ourselves the rest of the week. What a gem of a site. Would love to have a group camp there in the future.

Had a long weekend and some new gear to try out, so we decided to look to the north for a campsite. Everything was booked, not to mention packed full of people. Then my brother told me about Hipcamp, and everything changed.. We found Clinton's Ranch site and it checked all the boxes: close to where my parents were staying, dog friendly, and isolated (one campsite only). Clinton was super cool and easy to deal with. He pretty much told us we could do whatever we wanted there and walked me back to check out the site, a nice mowed area tucked back in the woods. We spent 2 nights in perfect weather, not far from modern conveniences, which is good because there are no toilets on site (not even an issue at the price per night). Just bring a bucket toilet or something similar and pack in all of your water and you are set. It was paradise for 2 days. I would DEFinitely recommend this site and I will definitely be back someday.

Super awesome remote camping space. It’s hard to find anything this remote with water and power. Super thrilled and would go back.

I stayed one night in my camper van, a 2wd Ram ProMaster 3500. Definitely approach from the west (from Hemlock), not from the east as there's a long, sandy ascent that really requires 4wd this way; my van didn't have a prayer of making it, and it's a long way to back out but there's no choice 'cause there's no way to turn around. Come from the west and you're fine!
The site is really great. I was the only inhabitant, but there are multiple electric hookups all around the big fire ring. Pretty cool to have electric way out in the woods...that had to be a major project getting wires run. There's a very clean porta john on site too. For my night here, I had total privacy, excellent stars, and quiet - definitely will return.

Cozy, cute tiny house, loft alittle tricky if you mobility issues, relatively quiet, it’s between 2 homes and another tiny house. Loved having all the comforts of home. Good proximity to Lake Michigan and activities. Loved our stay

We loved our time there! The pasture was beautiful. The forest area was beautiful! The farm tour was the best! It was really nice not being around other campers and having to make sure the kids stayed quiet.

Nice quiet place to stay, convenient to Bear Lake and a short drive to Manistee. If you like golf a very short drive to Wolf River a nice course nearby. Host was very friendly and the horses were great scenery.

We had a great time and was perfect for what we needed! Thank you so much! Improvments? Maybe a table type thing, but nothing else. It was great! Nature: Flys were annoying this morning. Regular flying and swams of little flys. But we are near some water to explain for that. So, Nothing to be done there. All in all, great hosts! Great spot! Quiet and pretty! Dark enough to see a dusting of the milky way!

AWESOME base camp for trail riding at Hungerford. The campsite was huge, flat, and private, with water and electricity. What more could you ask?? Very quiet. Perfect balance of sun and shade. Plenty of room for the horse trailer, travel trailer, and portable corral.
My dogs were in heaven exploring the property and we felt completely safe letting them do so. No place for them to get in trouble.
We really appreciate that Steven was so quick to respond when our other reservation fell through. He saved our vacation!
