Our group had an amazing time camping on Matt’s land! He was extremely accommodating and was kind enough to show us around the property to ensure our event would work out on his property. There was plenty of firewood for us to purchase and use throughout the weekend, and Matt was very responsive and helpful when we needed to reach out. I highly recommended Maple Creek Farms for your stay—it is beautiful, private, and spacious!

Pauline's site was beautiful and very peaceful. Pauline contacted me ahead of my stay and informed that she intended to move us to a more secluded site given that she was hosting other campers and that we had dogs. She accommodated for all her campers to ensure everyone had a peaceful and enjoyable experience on her property. Pauline gave numerous recommendations of tings to do while in the area which was super helpful. The river, prairie, fruit trees/bushes, and birds that surrounded us made for a super peaceful and enjoyable stay!

Beautiful and quiet. The river was more of a tricking stream but still fun to investigate the crawfish. I missed a day due to travel delay, but I would enjoy staying there again.

This campsite is private with its own entrance. Matt and his family obviously thought about their campers when offering the facilities, access to electric, water and to firewood. The way he runs this is very easy and organized. I wished I could have stayed longer. Next time I intend to stay much longer. The sunsets are beautiful and I loved sitting by the fireplace, watching the moon rise. Make sure you bring the supplies that you need. A trip to town can be a timely undertaking, but I love the remoteness.

This campsite is such a dream that I struggled to leave a review: I don’t want to share! Highly recommended for campers who crave solitude, wildlife, and the simple joys of the great outdoors.
Nestled in the woods away from the noise and rush of civilization, the site offers a peaceful retreat. No electricity, no running water, no bathrooms - just the raw beauty of nature. Sip cocoa by the fire while listening to the babbling river or stargaze under an unspoiled sky while surrounded by twinkling fireflies.
A river runs gently alongside the campsite, ideal for cooling off or relaxing with your feet in the water. The forest is alive with birdsong and teeming with wildlife—each day brought new encounters, including resident wild turkeys and heartwarming appearances by a fawn and his mother. The site is blanketed in wildflowers, butterflies, birds, berry bushes, and a few old apple trees reach out over the meadow.
The hostess is warm and friendly but respectful of your space and privacy. I highly recommend the beautiful and tasty eggs!
Now, about the bugs: the mosquitoes and flies are committed to their jobs but are not bad for this area. Bring bug spray, citronella candles, and a hat.
There is respectable cell service through Verizon and firewood is plentiful.

If you are looking for a secluded camping spot with full hookup, this is it! We like our privacy when it comes to camping, so we stay away from campgrounds. While their house is on the property, it is far away from the camp site.
We have 5 kids (8 and under) and they had a total blast. The hiking trails were perfect for exploring. We had a couple rainy days and there were plenty of nearby museums to check out. Swimming spot right down the road. The property is on a dead end road so there was very little traffic which was a great peace of mind when our kids were riding their bikes.
We definitely will be back next time we plan a trip to the UP!

Beautiful spot along the river. A mile up the road, we enjoyed the fresh water spring to refill our water jugs. Within an hour’s drive to Pictured Rocks National Lakeshore and tons of waterfalls.

Fantastic site by a river. Near a road, but worth minimal traffic. Feels very private. Host was very helpful when we got ourselves lost (gps for the site is good, we screwed up). Absolutely recommend and would book again!

We enjoyed your stay at Matt’s. The site was really easy to get in and out of and the property was beautiful. Lots of trails to walk and explore, just use bug spray even if there are no skeeters!
