Welcome to Stickley Family Farms, a peaceful 20+ acre retreat in the heart of Southwest Michigan. Nestled among fields, forest edges, and winding deer trails, our land offers a mix of rustic charm, privacy, and natural beauty—perfect for campers seeking both simplicity and something special. This historic property was originally settled in the 1840s as a mint and dairy farm. After decades of quiet neglect, it’s now coming back to life as a cozy, working farm—revitalized with love, sweat, and just the right amount of magic. Here, you’ll find secluded tent sites, fire pits with wood included, a clean outhouse, and select sites with power access—all surrounded by towering trees and open sky. In the fall, the property transforms into a festive playground with a pumpkin patch, family-friendly corn maze, and even a rideable miniature railroad with nearly a quarter mile of track (yes, adults can ride too!). Whether you’re here for a romantic weekend by the fire or a quiet getaway with kids in tow, there’s room to explore and reconnect. Stickley Family Farms offers: Rustic campsites (tent & small RVs welcome) Farm charm and privacy—no crowded campgrounds here Clean, odor-free outhouse Fire pits, string lights, and optional power Deer, songbirds, and peaceful views in every direction Just minutes from downtown Colon, Michigan—the Magic Capital of the World!
