Stories from the community

Weekend Trip to Flipside Acres

Loved the area tent camping. We were the only ones at The Flip Side for the weekend. The hosts were very welcoming and nice. The area has a small parking spot next to the barn. Have wagons to be able to take your things back to your site. It has a small pop up tent with a camping toilet and a picnic table to use at the site. Sensory at the campsite is just wonderful to sit at and enjoy. The trail back to the camp site is very peaceful through the woods. There is a short zip line set up. That was super fun to go down a couple times. Up near the house in the back yard is the community fire pit with chairs to sit in. Also have a grill with charcoal to use and a picnic tables at a community area with a horse shoe pit as well. The area is very beautiful and in nature, relaxing and peaceful. Close to Lake Michigan and the fishing pier. Has paved trails all around the area to be able to venture on and explore. Sand dunes in the surrounding area.

1 night at Provision Family Farms

I truly enjoyed it because it was so surreal to be that close with nature and a very beautiful and peaceful place

2 nights at The 40 Acre Wood

Great escape for prince and I. Loved the trails being able to get up and just go walking anytime was amazing. Cannot wait to go back only this I want to stay longer and bring a few more campers.

4 nights at Soul Fire Forest

It a nice little spot in among the trees. It was quiet and private.

1 night at Hen and Hive Provisions

Wonderful site and host! Very romantic and sweet with a great herd of sheep and goats!

5 nights at One Grand Place - Riverside Retreat

Good spot, hosts are very welcoming and helpful, some yard games are provided for fun and even 5 gallon solar showers w/outdoor stall for anyone that needs! Only 3 rv sites with tons of space. Be great for family get together.

5 nights at Gray's Riverside Camp

Angie is an amazing host! We stayed in a tent in spot seven, but if you're needing electricity for a tent make sure to ask Angie the best spot for you. 😉 Hot showers, awesome rec room, plus offers disk golf, kayaking, firewood, and an incredible camp store in case you forgot something essential (like ice, off, or marshmallows). Lots of other stuff too! I personally love that there was ping pong, games, and a short walk down to the river for fishing. Plus it was incredibly reasonable for each service Angie provides! We went kayaking and she drove us over the point so we could spend a few hours floating down the river right to camp. It was so stress free! The beauty and tranquility of the river was completely worth every penny. ✨️ Close to town without being too close. The bike trail goes right by there too! It was an absolutely phenomenal weekend!

4 nights at Lynx Run Wilderness Retreat

All I can say is wow! This site is everything and more for a long weekend in the woods! Building Bridges, lots of good cooking, baby deers, trout and an abundance of birds! We definitely will be back!

1 night at Hen and Hive Provisions

Wonderful campsite, very peaceful land. Pamela is quick to respond, helpful, and non-intrusive . Our campsite was spacious with a nice fire ring, stumps, a hammock, a picnic table, and a little string of lovely little solar powered lights at night. There were other campers at nearby sites, but there are many trees and plants and enough distance between the sites to feel secluded and private. Nice walkable mowed paths. Bathroom is super cute and comfortable. Shooting range nearby was poppin off for a few hours but settled down by night and it didn’t bother us any. Thanks for a really great night away in a beautiful place.

Weekend Trip to Hen and Hive Provisions

Cozy and well managed place, Pamela is kind and responsive I will be back!

Saw lots of wildlife (eagles, swans, loons, and a ton of geese and blackbirds) this year and had an amazing time. Definitely recommend getting some of Luke's bacon too. It's incredible.

Weekend Trip to Gray's Riverside Camp

Very nice small campground with trails nearby and an RV dump station. Also has water and electric hookups. The Muskegon River is a short walk from camp sites. The host Angie was super sweet and attentive. Highly recommend as a nice place for a nature packed weekend or even a place to park for the night and head out next day if needed she is very accommodating to either.

1 night at DaltonTraders Base Camp-Grand Cabin

My experience here was very pleasant. I asked the host if I could come a couple hours early to drop off my camper to be able to go to Michigan adventures on time. He accommodated and was extremely friendly. I would definitely come to this campsite again. Great location and very friendly hosts.

Weekend Trip to One Grand Place - Riverside Retreat

Lynx Run Wilderness Retreat

8 sites · Lodging, RVs, Tents100 acres · Stanwood, MI

My property (Lynx Run) has an amazing geological and historical background. During the last ice age, glacial waters carved out the ravine in which the Betts Creek flows. Sometimes, the creek drops over 60 feet below the surrounding terrain as it meanders back and forth in oxbows as it flows toward the Muskegon River. It was once the hunting, foraging and camping grounds of the Potawatami Indians. In the late 1800's it was at the center of the Michigan Timber Industry. Running along the edge of my property is the old railroad bed where timber was once hauled away. Only two miles from my home, the logs were sent down the side of the hill and into the Muskegon River on log chutes and then floated to where the Muskegon empties into Lake Michigan. Piles of field stones indicate that after the timber industry moved on, farmers moved in and attempted to tame the land. But, fortunately for me, the land was abandoned by the farmers and has returned to a much more natural and pristine state. My land is now a part of the Manistee National Forest and I am surrounded by thousands of acres of beautiful land (both public and private). I am the only person who lives back here in this part of the forest, so seclusion and privacy are wonderful and the wildlife and beauty is abundant.

The 40 Acre Wood

5 sites · Lodging40 acres · Shelby, MI

www.facebook.com/the40acrewood Before our forest was "owned," it belonged to the Odawa people. Once white settlers arrived and governments were established, land deeds were written. We traced those deeds back through the Oceana County Register of Deeds and found that larger tracts of land were owned by people from Chicago and California, which were later divided into smaller parcels. Interestingly, one owner lost the property after failing to pay back taxes of $3.50, shortly after World War II. It is likely that he never returned. In the mid-1900s, Ed Dewey was the owner. Today, we have a cabin on the east side of the 40 acres that was built by Ed, entirely constructed with oak. He had three sawmills there, each powered by the engines of old Studebakers. He cut and milled enormous oak trees, using the wood to construct crates for transporting cherries. Today, you can still see old oak crates on various farms, but they are slowly being replaced by plastic. Ed never finished the little cabin, and the story goes that he died there. The next owners were a couple from Inkster, near Detroit. Despite Ed leaving an acre of "yard art" all over, the place was used as a vacation home after a 50-foot long mobile home was placed near the cabin. As they aged, they sold off their property to us. First, we acquired the 20 acres where the Cozy Camper Cabin resides, then the 7 acres near Weaver Road and 44th, and finally, the remaining 13 acres with the cabin. We began purchasing the property in parcels in 1992 for $500 an acre and owned it all by 1998. From 1998 to 2008, we removed the mobile home, cleaned up all the yard art, refurbished the cabin, added a garage, and built a new shed nearby. The Hipcamp shed was originally built in 1999 and has been used for storage until it was converted into a unique little place in the woods in 2021. Over the years, our Forester has carefully managed the property. We have logged three times. The first round was to remove 75 huge oak trees. The second round involved culling mature poplar trees. The last time, we took out 276 mature oaks and beeches. A Woodsman spent a year cutting down the tops of the trees. Clearing these old growth trees revitalized the forest, as planned. Today, there are over two miles of trails running throughout the property. Some were logging roads, while others were carved out over time. The land is flat to the north but hilly to the south, as these are forested sand dunes. There are approximately a million trees on the property, densely forested with many large "mother trees" such as oaks, beeches, maples, and pines. The poplar trees are growing rapidly, as they do. Wild cherry, sassafras, beeches, oaks, and maples are also growing quickly and thickly. To the south, there are fenced-in asparagus fields and cherry orchards. To the north, on the other side of Weaver Road, is the privately owned Silver Lake Airport, which remains quiet most of the time. On the east side of our 40 acres, you'll find our cabin and buildings, and we kindly ask you to avoid wandering onto that side of the property. Signs will alert you when you get close. To the west, there is a 20-acre section occasionally occupied by some "Dunners." The area is famous for Silver Lake State Park and the sand dunes, located about 2.5 miles northwest of us. Our neighbors in that area have dune buggies, and they sometimes drive around their property, creating more noise than we prefer. It's possible that you may encounter this during your visit, so please be aware. Deer are abundant in the area, and in 2021, we spotted a porcupine for the first time, although we have occasionally seen evidence of their presence through bark-stripped maples. Raccoons come and go, while turkeys are frequent visitors at times. You can hear coyotes yipping away at night, and depending on the time of year and migratory season, you'll see lots and lots of birds. We're pleased to report that there is no poison ivy on the property! It is a beautiful place in the woods, not far from many entertaining activities suitable for both the young and old. Come and visit, but please be respectful of the land and our privacy while enjoying yours. Love Mother Earth while you are here and nourish your soul.

One Grand Place - Riverside Retreat

7 sites · RVs, Tents2 acres · Robinson Township, MI

Welcome to our little slice of heaven along the Grand River in Grand Haven, Michigan. Voted one of the best places to visit in 2022 and 2023. This property is at the end of a private road and has three adjoining waterfront parcels that have been in the family for decades that we fondly refer to as One Grand Place. Family still lives on one of the parcels but we are excited to be sharing the other 2 parcels with all of you. One parcel is our Premium RV site on a cement pad, parallel to the river and can accommodate 1 RV (5th wheel, travel trailer, pop up, Class C etc. NO Class A's allowed). 30/50/standard 110 Electric and water hookup. Pump out is available for a fee. The other adjacent parcel at the very far west end of the property is a large grassy area with 2 sites. Both have 30 and standard 110 electric, plus water. --1 Standard RV site can accommodate 1 RV (5th wheel, travel trailer, pop up, Class C etc. NO Class A's allowed). Or, can be used as a tent site IF the tent only site is already booked. Pump out is available for a fee. --1 Tent only site. To be booked first before the Standard RV site. However, both sites are next to each other with same view. There is plenty of room to set up games, fish, play with the kids or the dogs, etc. What's not to like? It is your very own exclusive home away from home. If you don't have an RV or a tent and want to still come and visit, no problem. Rent one of our RVs or rent our tent. PLEASE NOTE: We are not a commercial campground or a business. However, there are certain rules that must be adhered to per the agreement with our local township and our neighbors along our shared private road. Property is adjacent to Connor Bayou County Park and is surrounded by natural wetlands. Perfect place to unwind, chill, enjoy the fresh air and picture perfect sunsets. Boating, swimming, jet skis, kayaking, paddleboarding, fishing are just a few of the things to enjoy on the water. Bring your own boat, jet ski, kayak or rent from nearby establishments. One of many public boat launches is just a couple minute ride and Connor Bayou County Park has a kayak specific boat launch. You can also drop a kayak in at the very west end of our property right from shore. If you are bringing your own boat, jet ski, kayak and have a separate trailer, parking of that trailer must be pre-authorized due to limited space. Please inquire. Hiking, biking and wildlife, bird/eagle watching are also in the area. Spring Lake, Lake Michigan, beaches, various state/county parks, downtown Grand Haven's shops and restaurants are just a short drive away. Holland is about 30 minutes south and also has a cute downtown, craft beers, and beaches. PJ Hoffmaster State Park is 20 minutes North. If you are a thrill seeker Michigan's Adventure Amusement and Waterpark is only 30 minutes North in Muskegon. There are also many wineries, ciders and craft beer in Southwest Michigan. And many blueberry farms around too. Bottom line....there is plenty of things to do and see during your visit. You can be as active or as chill as you want to be.

Lynx Run Wilderness Retreat

8 sites · Lodging, RVs, Tents100 acres · Stanwood, MI

My property (Lynx Run) has an amazing geological and historical background. During the last ice age, glacial waters carved out the ravine in which the Betts Creek flows. Sometimes, the creek drops over 60 feet below the surrounding terrain as it meanders back and forth in oxbows as it flows toward the Muskegon River. It was once the hunting, foraging and camping grounds of the Potawatami Indians. In the late 1800's it was at the center of the Michigan Timber Industry. Running along the edge of my property is the old railroad bed where timber was once hauled away. Only two miles from my home, the logs were sent down the side of the hill and into the Muskegon River on log chutes and then floated to where the Muskegon empties into Lake Michigan. Piles of field stones indicate that after the timber industry moved on, farmers moved in and attempted to tame the land. But, fortunately for me, the land was abandoned by the farmers and has returned to a much more natural and pristine state. My land is now a part of the Manistee National Forest and I am surrounded by thousands of acres of beautiful land (both public and private). I am the only person who lives back here in this part of the forest, so seclusion and privacy are wonderful and the wildlife and beauty is abundant.
