Welcome to Thousand Suns – an 84-acre sanctuary nestled in the heart of nature, lovingly cultivated to support healing, reflection, and connection. This isn’t your typical campground. Here, the land is vibrantly alive and holds space for both traditional and non-traditional ceremonies, as well as moments of quiet solitude or joyful gathering.
Wander scenic forest trails, swim in spring-fed waters, or sit beside the flowing river — all part of a landscape that invites you to slow down, breathe deeply, and return to yourself. Whether you’re here to rest, explore, or reconnect, Thousand Suns offers a grounded, heart-centered experience.
Throughout the month, we host community events and offer private sessions in yoga, bodywork, breathwork, and other holistic practices designed to nourish the body and spirit. Fresh eggs are available from our chickens and turkeys, and you’ll likely spot our friendly goats during your stay.
Guests are welcome to use the community kitchen — a shared space where you can store your food and prepare meals with ease.
Thousand Suns is the perfect retreat for solo travelers, families, and spiritual seekers alike. Whether you’re gathering with loved ones or journeying inward, our land provides a supportive and sacred backdrop.
Please note: a train passes by the front of the property several times a day. While some find it grounding and nostalgic, others may wish to bring earplugs if they’re sensitive to sound.
Bring your fishing pole, your swim trunks, and an open heart. We can’t wait to welcome you.

WHAT'S NEW ON THE FARM 2025
This year we are expecting a foal (baby horse). The end of April.
We are also milking a family cow for our own milk as well. Her name is Daisy.
We are also bottle feeding two calves at this time.
We will have Great Pyrenees puppies from April through mid July. Come and spend some time with them!
ABOUT DOREEN
I’m an entrepreneur. I’m all about health and taking care of the mind, body and spirit.
I’m an organic farmer, an animal nut, health coach, mindset mentor
and Psych-K facilitator.
I have six children and hosted three foreign exchange students. I love kids, animals (especially horses) and nature. I love anything and everything about health and personal growth and well being.
ABOUT THE FARM
We have a working, organic farm with a lot of animals, however, we also do crops as well. This particular farm is 138 acres with 8 acres of woods. We have working dogs, sheep, cattle, horses, a couple goatsWe have some super great animals. Most of which are very friendly.
You never know what will be available to see on the farm when you visit. We are expecting a foal (baby horse) this summer (2021)
and are already planning for another foal next summer as well. We often have puppies as well and sometimes we have to bottle feed lambs. There's never a dull moment.
Our farm is unique in the way of having a very positive VIBE to it. The energy is awesome! It's really a space of tranquility and healing if you allow yourself to go there.
After hosting with air bnb for a little over a year now, we decided to give this a try as well. We love hosting people and having them come to the farm and enjoy our way of life. It also helps to have a supplemental income as having and running a small family farm isn't very sustainable. Typically there's off the farm jobs to help pay for the farm life. It's a crazy equation. Small family farms are far and few between. Please support your local farmer if possible! It is greatly appreciated!

We are also milking a family cow for our own milk as well. Her name is Daisy.
We are also bottle feeding two calves at this time.
We will have Great Pyrenees puppies from April through mid July. Come and spend some time with them!
ABOUT DOREEN
I’m an entrepreneur. I’m all about health and taking care of the mind, body and spirit.
I’m an organic farmer, an animal nut, health coach, mindset mentor
and Psych-K facilitator.
I have six children and hosted three foreign exchange students. I love kids, animals (especially horses) and nature. I love anything and everything about health and personal growth and well being.
ABOUT THE FARM
We have a working, organic farm with a lot of animals, however, we also do crops as well. This particular farm is 138 acres with 8 acres of woods. We have working dogs, sheep, cattle, horses, a couple goatsWe have some super great animals. Most of which are very friendly.
You never know what will be available to see on the farm when you visit. We are expecting a foal (baby horse) this summer (2021)
and are already planning for another foal next summer as well. We often have puppies as well and sometimes we have to bottle feed lambs. There's never a dull moment.
Our farm is unique in the way of having a very positive VIBE to it. The energy is awesome! It's really a space of tranquility and healing if you allow yourself to go there.
After hosting with air bnb for a little over a year now, we decided to give this a try as well. We love hosting people and having them come to the farm and enjoy our way of life. It also helps to have a supplemental income as having and running a small family farm isn't very sustainable. Typically there's off the farm jobs to help pay for the farm life. It's a crazy equation. Small family farms are far and few between. Please support your local farmer if possible! It is greatly appreciated!

This 50-acre property is part of a 130-acre farm and is currently an organic heirloom vegetable seed farm that is only 12 minutes from Ann Arbor. Part of it was formerly owned by the Egeler family who at one time owned quite a bit of Marshall Rd and this part of was owned by the Mersereau family. It was formerly a conventional farm, but we've converted it to organic production. The rolling land is 1/2 forest and 1/2 fields, making it a biodiverse hot spot for plants, animals, and fungi.

It was the second time we stayed at Julie’s place. The site was very well-maintained, private and beautiful. And there is a farm right next door for some daily activities, especially in the fall! Julie was very flexible and attentive to all my questions. Would definitely recommend this place!

I camped at their beautiful meadow campsite offering a fire ring and picnic table. There are beautiful wooded trails, a nearby cider mill, petting farm, pumpkin patch, and a corn maze to explore during the fall.
Tom and Julie are very welcoming, friendly, and accommodating, ensuring a safe and memorable stay.

Nicely secluded but close to major roads and places to visit. If you love nature, it is a perfect campsite to spend your days and especially quiet evenings around the fire. Plan on going back our next time in the area.

We had a great time and Pete was very accommodating. We had a surprise birthday party and had a beautiful site with space for everyone. Appreciated the ease of firewood available to purchase and extra chairs. The perfect place to relax and have a bonfire with friends.

I'm an experienced camper, due to motorcycling and whitewater kayaking.
Have camped in Alaska, Colorado, bottom of Grand Canyon for 6 weeks.
.
This was my first time using Hipcamp, so I was unsure what to expect.
Local state recreation areas were closed, so I gave this a try.
.
The camping area was exactly as described in words and photos.
We had a walk-in tent site, so we parked at a marked parking spot.
Then carried our gear another 500' across a tiny stream and up a hill.
.
It was a 2-night stay with my 4yo daughter on a father-daughter leaf-peeping motorcycle trip out of Detroit. She has also camped many times / places before, and I wanted her to have an adventure close to home.
.
Tom & Julie's place was perfect for us.
It was about 3 miles east of Pinckney, so we had restaurants.
The area is rural, and beautiful in the fall.
The road to Tom & Julie's was smooth dirt for 2 miles.
Then is was maybe 1/8 mile from their mailbox to the campsite.
.
The campsite was in a small clearing in the woods.
Rarely did modern man-made noise intrude on the natural sounds.
There was a fire-ring in the clearing, a couple cut logs to sit on.
Firewood was available for a small fee.
But there was plenty of dead wood around, for kindling or a small fire.
So we enjoyed a small fire and did not purchase additional wood.
.
It was just our luck there was a pumpkin farm nearby.
My daughter loved the hay rides, corn maze, etc.
.
The experience very positive, and I'd use Hipcamp again.

Perfect spot to have some privacy and feel safe. Camping on grass and some level ground is really nice as opposed to a beet down Public camp ground.
I sat and talked with owner Tom, great guy. They call people like this good folk. Real good site too solid ground, lots of geese and cranes went by multiple times. Loved the stay here. We tested out a new air tent here had several nice fires and ate few really good steaks our last night. I almost hate post up here about this little gem in fear of others finding out about this gem. Oh did I mention how Responsive and respectful Julie was in returning information and questions getting answered.

The site was nice; an wide open plot of lush grass with tall shrubs encircling it so we weren’t right next to the road, although it was audible still. Right next to the Lefurge Preserve, which was really beautiful the morning we dropped by. Lyanna was very responsive and kind!

Pete was extremely friendly and helpful from the beginning. I never even met him, but he was kind and thoughtful while getting us to our campsite.
The actual site itself was lovely. Very relaxing and tucked away. We were the only people there (other campsites on the land were close by) so it was incredibly quiet and relaxing.
I could see how a full group might make it a little less enticing, since the campsites really aren’t that far from one another. But again, that didn’t happen and Pete was even kind enough to offer us our pick of the sites, but we stayed with Cozy Corner 2.
Overall, we had a lovely, quiet experience and have no reason not to recommend it.
Thank you Pete and Olga!
