What a quiet, serene camping spot! Hit every one of our camping requirements and then exceeded them! We will definitely be going back!

Well, we camped here this summer and absolutely adored it! And… We vowed to return for fall camping! Well, one of us got to, I had to work. But once again, my husband had a wonderful time in one of the most beautiful settings we’ve ever been to. Being that secluded camping in Michigan is absolutely wonderful. My granddaughter went with us this summer and she cannot wait to go back next year. She was not happy grandpa went without her! A good center point for short drives for biking, kayaking, or just going to town! And the drive to get anywhere is very pretty. See you next summer!

Super secluded with amazing night sky’s. The cows came and visited when we got there and said goodbye as we left. Not another person in site that allowed full peacefulness and relaxation, it really let us reset.

The landscape is absolutely incredible. If you are looking for beauty, peace and solace, SOL is the spot. My wife and I had such a great time just sitting and enjoying the surroundings, great walks and just sitting and feeling the fresh air; warm days and cool nights. We will be back.

This was my second ever Hipcamp stay and this campsite blew my first time out of the water. I am so amazed I was thinking about the review I would leave while I was still there. The view was breathtaking at all hours of the day and night. The complimentary eggs were beautiful and tasty. And I actually gasped at the port-a-potty because it looked as if I was the first one to ever use it *ever*. There were 3 mischievous cows watching my dog and I as we unpacked and kept us giggling all evening. It was *so* quiet all night and the sunrise in the morning was perfection. I could not have asked for more! I had a hard time finding it initially only bc I struggle to follow very simple and direct instructions. I hope to return eventually

We had a great time. Nice and private. Great location The bathroom and pavalion were very handy. Numerous activities less than an hour away. Lake Michigan, Crystal Lake, Sleeping Bear Dunes, Traverse City, Fishtown and The Leelanau Peninsula Wine Trail. The Betsie Vally bike trail is right down the street, less than 1 mile.

Everything was perfect. From the fresh eggs to hardwood firewood. Site was level to setup our trailer. Was greeted by a wild turkey and a bunch of additional wildlife. The cows were perfect neighbors. Would 100% recommend. 10/10 and five starts every day.

This campsite is huge! And it is a spectacular view! I would sit there looking out over this amazing rolling Hill expanse, and just wait for the Buffalo to appear… If you grasp my imagination. That’s exactly what it looks like. And there are two track roads you can walks down if you’d like to stretch your legs in the morning and at night! The scenery is gorgeous. The Porta potty was clean and a decent distance from the campsite! The most level ground would be at the top end of the mowed grass area Where the fire pit is. You do face east and get the morning sun. The sun sets behind you over a small woods. So if the weather is hot and sunny… The space can get very warm. So if heat bothers you at all, think about what the weather might be! We cannot wait to go back especially to try this spot in the fall! We actually could not believe we found this spot. Took our grand daughter kayaking on a small lake. Took her to interlochen State Park for swimming and music at the arts camp! You truly feel all alone in the world. We did hear the chickens a little bit which we loved! We enjoyed the eggs. The host gave us. You can hear muted traffic sound from M113, but usually only early in the morning, depending on how fast the trucks drive. And depending on time of year and weather conditions, the stars are all there!
If you love solitary camping with no one else around anywhere, this is the place for you. We will definitely be coming back.

Very secluded spot! Great for a big family like ours, the kids had a ton of fun exploring with flashlights and picking their spot for the tent. Would highly recommend this place!

It was exactly what I was looking for 100% privacy with a view. Shauna was very helpful and answered all my questions. This was my 1st time using hip camp and I'm very pleased. I travel this area 3 or 4 times a year and I will be renting this site everytime.

This camp was in a little field next to a pole barn and another camper, but no one was there the whole time. I had 30 amp electric hook up and water available, as well as a fire pit with firewood and a couple of chairs and a picnic table. It was a lovely quiet little place and the price was great and I would recommend it to anyone.

Great little campsite on the SOL Homestead… Perfect for stargazing, birdwatching, hiking, and a generally peaceful camping experience. No other campers, only the family onsite who you see walking thru now and then—very friendly and hospitable. No shade so plan accordingly, portapotty was so convenient and SO clean! You do hear equipment from neighboring farms and a lot of planes overhead, but the crickets and birdsong were the best soundtrack. Trails throughout the property were well maintained, complementary eggs were delicious, perfect for campfire breakfast for which wood was even provided. Got the chance to meet some very happy, well cared-for farm animals—loved waking up to see cow ears poking up over the long grass, the perfect company for a valley sunrise.

Leah's place was great! It was an excellent location. I drive a Honda Civic and had no problem driving into the property. Although I was only there for one night, I would absolutely come back! They had thought of everything - they even had extra dish soap in a drawer and amenities in the outhouse. I was very impressed and enjoyed my one-night stay!

We stayed in our campervan at Base Camp. The shelter and the fire pit were great and we loved walking the trail with our dogs. Leah was very responsive and we would definitely recommend!

This place is a hidden gem. Super peaceful and the shelter came in clutch during the rain—kept the tent totally dry. At night, the stars were insane, like something out of a movie. The trail is covered in ferns and honestly feels magical. I’ll 100% be coming back.

Love camping here, the owners and assistants were so kind and went out of their way to provide information and supplies for our site. The pine trees were beautiful and secluded, would definitely recommend and we’re looking forward to returning.
