27mi from Portland · 1 site · Tent, RV · Crystal, MI
Rent this gorgeous empty corner lot adjacent to my home and enjoy the same privacy as if we were merely neighbors! 50-amp electric hookup, water hookup (hose to house), and sewer hookup. Two acres of woods on a corner lot with one dirt road and one paved road. Beautiful view of peaceful, residential-only Duck Lake just one mile from the bustling summer town of Crystal, Michigan, in Montcalm County. Lake and dock access. Great fishing for kids! Bluegill, pike, bass, sunfish galore. RV hookup is solo - for just one RV. Two tents welcome alongside your RV. Firepit and wood included. One large trash bin provided; pickup once a week provided. Well-behaved, leashed/staked dogs welcome; we just kindly ask you to pick up their poo. We often have cornhole and croquet sets out on the lawn RVers are welcome to use. Peaceful, gorgeous, wooded, and a quick jaunt to the village of Crystal, where there's a one-screen movie theatre screening first-run films on weekends, Ike's Ice Cream shop, two gas stations, two bars, restaurants, and a pizza joint. Blanchard's Grocery store is also located in Crystal, and Crystal Raceway is just a couple of miles away. Enjoy the peacefulness, or head to town for all of the action. The Crystal Public Beach area has just been newly revamped and is gorgeous and active with lots of boats on the weekend anchoring by the shore and live music in the park.
