My second trip to High Swamp was even better than the first, solidifying its spot as my all-time favorite Hipcamp destination. While I’ve visited many excellent campsites over the years, Chris’s property is truly exceptional because you don't just feel like a visitor—you feel like an extended member of the family.
Beyond the incredible hospitality, High Swamp's location in Seney is ideal for exploring the Upper Peninsula. I originally chose it for its proximity to Pictured Rocks National Lakeshore, but on this trip, I was thrilled to easily tackle the hike to Tahquamenon Falls, which is only about an hour away.
The sites themselves are all are spacious and private. Chris has also clearly invested in guest comfort, even installing a new outdoor shower and private bathroom.
Thanks again for the hospitality, Chris! We'll see you next time, with the family!
Your #1 HipCamper!

We loved camping there during Labor Day weekend. We camped the first night in the yurt and the second night in the tent spot. Both amazing! We would totally come back more times. The view of the sunrise over the lake was absolutely gorgeous!

Loved staying on Chris’ land. He greeted me on arrival and also stopped by before I left. Appreciated the shower and outhouse setup. Lots of care went into it, I haven’t seen a combo like that with plumbing outdoors. Comfortable experience and shower can get hot as you want. I think a deer bumped into my tent one night. Loved the night sky view, so many stars and very dark. Very low bug area for late August at least. Grand Marais is super close and the beach area is nice.

We had a great stay at Hambone's property. Beautiful large site, no bugs and nice bathroom and shower facility. We enjoyed chatting with Hambone, he gave us tips on our trip that was a great help! We cannot wait to come back, thank you for everything. We even got some wet wood and struggled to make a fire, Hambone was gracious to go get us dry wood and even left us a fire starter at our site after we told him- So kind!!
Thanks again :) Jen & Beau - Madison, WI
