We loved our night with the 3 Happy Turtles! Audrey greeted us and was so welcoming and nice. She even gave us fun recommendations for food nearby and offered to do a bonfire or movie night. So sweet! The spot by the barn is so magical, peaceful and quiet. The sunset was beautiful and just what we needed on our trip across the country!

My son and I stayed for a weekend to go fishing and get away from the busy city life. We absolutely loved our stay, were so impressed with the cleanliness of the place, the items available for our use, and the breathtaking views. We will definitely be back!

I loved tent camping on Jason's land with my dog. It's exactly what we were looking for! 5 acres right along the Chippewa river and we set up our tent just steps from the river. For the most part pretty quiet area just a little bit of occasional road noise or kayakers down the river. There is a few spots to splash in the river to cool off. It looks like Jason is adding more to the property, I might check out the cabins next time!

Group trip
We hosted a sauna & camp weekend here and rented the entire river property—epic spot. The highlight was swimming in the river and jumping off the bridge into the deep hole. We also did a ~2.5 hour trip down the Chippewa, starting right at camp and ending at 19 Mile Road—only a 3-minute shuttle, surprisingly long and convenient. We first paddled upstream but turned back after downed trees, then drifted downstream. Some shallow spots, but easy to hop off and scoot paddleboards along.
At night it was wonderfully quiet, and the stars lit up the sky. Even near the cabin there wasn’t much road noise, and if you go back to the tent sites by the river you likely wouldn’t hear cars at all. The sites are well spread out and could easily host a big group.
Our crew of 10 loved having the whole property for privacy and to set up our mobile sauna trailer right on the riverbank. Jason also has exciting plans for the lot across the river, so it’s only going to get better.
The bathroom setup is rustic—the girls in our group weren’t thrilled—but it’s rustic camping, so fair trade for such a natural spot.
Overall, no complaints. If you’re into kayaking, paddleboarding, or fishing and want to escape crowded campgrounds, this is a fantastic find. Highly recommend for both small and large groups looking for a private riverside getaway.

Audrey's place was just what we needed for a nearby event! They had a water hose for us to fill up our tank before parking next to the barn and electricity hook up available for our travel trailer. We love that they were pet-friendly so that we could bring our pup with us. The family was very friendly and kind, the sunsets are beautiful, the surrounding farm land was peaceful. Thanks for a great stay - we will be back soon!

I really enjoyed my weekend at three turtles. The area for tent setup was felt very private. I enjoyed a day of hiking at a nearby park and the Saturday morning farmers market. The site was off leash friendly, however, there is a fairly busy road close by and lots of critters so you would need to have a solid recall. Cassidy enjoyed several spells of the zoomies! Thank you for the hospitality.

Upon arrival, I could already tell we were going to love it. Me and me honey came as a getaway without kiddos. And the peacefulness along with the site right on the river was so amazing. The trails are so amazing and the wildlife we saw was such a plus, bunnies, deer, eagle's! The land is well kept, as well as the outhouse and the sites with trails. I plan on coming back and renting the cabin and bringing my children.

Absolutely amazzzinggggg property! Jason was WONDERFUL to work with & we couldn’t have asked for a better time or host!
The property is right along side the river where we kayaked for the afternoon! We fished, jumped off the bridge & had so much space for camping activities! We will absolutely be booking here again! The property has a ton of space for tent camping as well as a mini cabin fully prepped for us! The cabin and bathroom was super clean and easily managed!! Forever in love with riverside !! :)
Highly highly recommend !

Loved so many things about this spot. First, town is close by to run in and grab extra ice and all the others things we forgot and needed. Nice restaurant and huge ice cream servings close by.
The property itself is beautiful. It's quiet and peaceful. We brought the kayaks and had a 3 hr float down the river. Parked a truck at a close by bridge. The Blackstone was great for all meals. Loved that firewood was provided. We will be back again with a large group as well as just the fam.

What a beautiful and magical space! My 2 small children and I had such a peaceful, playful and grounding experience disconnecting from everyday routine and connecting with each other and nature. Campfires under the stars were perfect with tons of fire wood provided! The property is gorgeous and so beautifully cared for. We enjoyed fishing, playing cornhole and bocce ball, splashing in the river and tuning from one end of the property to the other. There is so much space for multiple families to camp at once and a beautiful cabin and bathhouse. We look forward to returning. Jason is a wonderful host and provided us with everything we needed to know.

We loved the cabin and its ambiance. Everything we needed was provided. The view from the back, the ledge patio for coffee. The convenience of how close to Newaygo town it was. A great place to go and stay for those who like to hike, bike, fish, and or be outside!
