I chose to stay at The Only Spot as it was within 15 min or so of my relatives and some friends. We were on an extended trip to MI to escape the southern heat. So when my husband had to fly back for work this spot worked great as there aren't a lot of camping options around.
It is a quiet area so it's a great place to kick back and relax with a good book.(You do hear the Crystal race on Saturday night but its not bad) I enjoyed seeing the sunrise at Duck Lake in the morning then going to see the sunset at Crystal. I also enjoyed having the windows open and having the cool breeze from the lake even though it was across the street.
The ice cream at Ike's was great. The little store in Crystal I found some food items I needed along with refilling my propane tank.
I kayaked at the lake as we brought our own. It's a small lake but peaceful as there is not alot of boat traffic.
Jennifer was a great host and was responsive to the few question I had.
I would stay here again.

Great, peaceful spot with easy access to two lakes! Very peaceful with lots of wildlife and all the necessities you need (sewer, water and electric hookup). Very large lot so you have room to spread out! Firepit and wood provided for cozy bonfires. Would highly recommend and look forward to coming back!

Easy to find, serene and quiet, loved seeing sandhill cranes in the lavender field as we arrived. The host allowed us to take a peek at the chicken coop which was cool to see! The proximity to Lansing was a plus for our stopover to see friends in town. We drank our lavender tea under the stars and were lucky for a nearly bugless night! Other than the praying mantis that found it’s way to our tent as we were taking down camp the next day 😄

This is a lovely place to camp. The property is well-cared for and peaceful. Liz is a great host! She was ready at check-in and available for questions. She even gave advice about the town on request. Otherwise, she honored the privacy of the campsite. Highly recommend!

We stayed two lovely nights Elizabeth's Oaklore Lavender Farm in our van. Our daughter and her partner stayed with us for one night. it was easy to find, beautiful and quiet. we purchased some eggs and tea. I haven't tried the tea yet, but it smells divine. the eggs were perfect. The as sunrise, sunset and stars were stunning and the chickens were fun to watch. plus the hosts were welcoming. We would definitely stay as again - maybe reserving the building for movie night!

This is a very nice lot with electric sewage and water. Front yard has many trees and a fire pit. Duck Lake and dock directly across road for easy access. We were there for only 2 nights and didn’t bring kayaks but next time for sure!! Hostess Jennifer very accommodating and it was a peaceful and quiet stay.
