Weekend Trip to Tincan Camp

We loved TinCan! With it being early spring we were able to have views of the lake. It was an easy pull in site located on gravel. There were a lot of outdoor games, grills, firepits and outdoor furniture. We had our pups with us and there were plenty of trails to take walks on. Jim was a great host and responded timely. I would definitely recommend TinCan Camp

Lake Nicholas. 12 acre totally private lake with great fishing. 36 feet deep.

Weekend Trip to DaltonTraders Base Camp-Grand Cabin

A wonderful stay enjoyed by us and our two dogs. A rare warm weekend in March, so the cabin stayed cozy with ambient temperature. Very quiet surroundings, comfortable and easy to enjoy a campfire outdoors, a nice food prep area indoors. Definitely the most immaculate, comfortable outhouse port-a-john I've ever seen! Camp is a short drive to hike in Muskegon State Park and visit downtown. Ed's a very thoughtful and friendly host!

Weekend Trip to DaltonTraders Base Camp-Grand Cabin

We loved our stay at Dalton Traders Grand Cabin. Peaceful and quiet. Weather was unseasonably warm so we did not need the woodstove. Had some lovely rain showers overnight which made the cabin even more cozy. Very private with the cleanest porta potty I've ever seen. Ed was responsive and very welcoming. Cabin was clean and well organized. Close to downtown Muskegon and the state park where we found some excellent hiking opportunities. We will definitely be back next winter for some snow sports!

I couldn’t have been happier with my stay, like a lot of the other reviews said Ed was an incredibly friendly warm and helpful guy. The cabin was very private. I couldn’t see anything or anyone which was perfect. It’s, fairly primitive, but with just the right touches to make you feel comfortable. The fire pit was great, plenty of wood. The wood-burning stove was definitely one of my favorite parts. I’ve never felt so cozy.! Will definitely be coming back!

Weekend Trip to DaltonTraders Base Camp-Grand Cabin

This was such a sweet little cabin. It had beautiful craftsmanship and had a great wood burning stove. We enjoyed cooking outside over the fit pit. They also had a Coleman inside where we made our coffee in the morning. Ed provided snow shoes to explore the property. The location is nice because it is quiet but close enough to Muskegon state park to have a nice adventure. I highly recommend Dalton cabin. Ed was very friendly and a great host.

1 night at DaltonTraders Base Camp-Grand Cabin

I’ve just stayed at the Dalton Grand Cabin hosted by Ed and Pat. I recommend this stay to anyone who enjoys a private and peaceful place in the woods. Surrounded by tall and majestic oaks and beech trees, this little cabin had everything I needed for my short stay. I would have definitely stayed longer, but it’s a high demand place, and for good reason! Ed met me upon arrival and showed me the cabin and grounds, and he showed me how to work the lovely efficient wood stove in the corner. Plenty of wood was provided as were some nice amenities. The location is also very convenient to the Muskegon/West Michigan area, and I had a great time checking out the Lakeshore and the winter recreation park nearby. So, thank you, Ed and I look forward to seeing you again when the weather warms up a bit! Carl Manchester, Michigan

Weekend Trip to DaltonTraders Base Camp-Grand Cabin

Ed & Pat are absolute gems. I thought I might be a bit earlier than planned & they were willing to work with me and communicated with me to make sure everything was on track. The cabin is cozy, clean, charming, warm, and honestly just perfect. My dog never wanted to come in though; he loved running around in the snow. Ed explained how everything worked and on my second day I was able to keep my fire alive in the wonderful wood burning stove. I watched a deer eat corn off a tree trunk right outside the cabin. There are plenty of stores, gas stations and food spots on the way and nearby, but not too close. You really do have privacy & plenty of woods and quiet to love. It’s a perfect place to unwind, read a book by oil lamp and fire, and feel human again! I will be back for sure!

Weekend Trip to DaltonTraders Base Camp-Grand Cabin

It was a cozy and overall amazing experience. Ed was very welcoming and helpful. Our dogs loved running around in the snow. It was a huge plus that Ed let us use their snowshoes! We are already thinking of our next trip here.

Wow! This is the kind of spot that hipcamp was made for. Delightful and cozy with plenty of land to walk on, plenty of wood for the stove to keep cozy, the most clean and welcoming portapotty you’ve ever seen in your life…near a cute little town to boot! I was even treated to some homemade peanut brittle that made me a big hit back home. I stopped here on my trip back to Minnesota for Christmas, and I’m so glad I did! The hosts were incredibly flexible and understanding and made sure I was properly settled when I got in. Absolutely worth the 2 hour detour for me and I hope to return sometime!

Excellent stay, a really wonderful space to escape for a weekend. Close enough to town if you need to make a run, but secluded and very private.

Weekend Trip to DaltonTraders Base Camp-Grand Cabin

Ed’s cabin really is a little paradise tucked away in the woods. From the cozy wood burning stove, to the sprawling trails it’s a perfect off the grid getaway if you want some peace and quiet. Ed himself was super nice, and greeted us on our way in, gave us a tour of the cabin and instructions on how to work everything, and saw us off on our way out! Couldn’t picture a better weekend, thanks Ed.

Tincan Camp

3 sites · Lodging, RVs7 acres · Bloomingdale, MI

This fun property is just under 7 acres - butted up to another 12 acres of public land (and boat launch) with trails, boardwalk and a dock on 51 acre Lake Eleven. The property is shared by (2) full-hook up RV sites and a cabin. If available, the cabin and sites may be rented together however the owners, Jim and Maria, use the cabin much of the summer leaving just the RV sites available. The property is at mile market 13 of the Kal-Haven Trail - the midpoint. The Kal-Haven Trail is a biking, cross-country skiing, walking, running, snowmobiling - you name it, the trail that goes 34 miles from Kalamazoo to South Haven. Literally steps from the property and you are on the trail. But you may not need to leave the property, with 6.3 acres of woods and field, with trail cut through PLUS the added public lands butted up to Tincan's property line, giving almost 20 acres to roam. Each RV site - far enough apart to be separate, close enough if you and friends/family want to camp together, has a fire pit and fireplace. Each RV site offers water, 30|50AMP electrical and septic. The dock may have availability for keeping you boat - please inquire. There are kayaks and some bikes (mostly teen and adult size) that may be used. These are shared amenities for the cabin and campsite guests and offered on a first come, first serve basis. There are surprises galore around the property; big foots to be found tucked around the property, games, and overall just a fun place to be. This was a run-down fishing cabin Jim and Maria lovingly brough back to life as a second home and they delight in sharing it. Jim often referred to it as "The Tincan" while working on it as it was - indeed, a tin shack and the name stuck. Kate, your booking coordinator, helps Jim and Maria tend to the administrative side of getting the property booked and keeping the details in order. Once booked you'll get contact info for Kate, who will take care of most communications and logistics, and Jim/Maria who will also be available to help as needed.

Have A Lake Of Your Own!

10 sites · Lodging, Tents150 acres · Lawrence, MI

The property was originally owned by a family name Nichols (thus the name of the lake). It was handed down to the sons who each owned half the property. The driveway down the middle of property that leads to the lake was originally a fence line that divided the two pieces of property. The brothers did not get along and their are several stories of their warring on how to maintain the property.My parents bought this piece of property in 1964 and created a camp called "Lakeside Farm Camp", a small all boys camp. The camp has gone through several changes since then but has always been owned by the Edwards family. In 1984 the name was changed to "Cedar Lodge" a coed camp that specializes in English horseback riding and offering high level general camp activities. Enjoy the peace and quiet of our totally private fresh water lake. Take your boat out for a day of fishing or just chill next to the fire. Sites are approximately 50 feet from each other. If you want privacy we suggest you book both.
