1 night at Dome Haven Campground

this is the cutest, calmest place we have ever stayed at. we will be back, In hopes that we can book other ones with our friends too! perfect for a quick get away, close to the beach but far enough away to feel like youre in the woods away from everything ! they were clean and equipped with everything you need.

Just outside of South Haven, this was a great spot to recoup. They have all the amenities so if you forgot anything (like we did), they’ve got you covered.

First off let me say, this was the most relaxing camping I've ever experienced! The beds were super comfy, a fridge w/freezer was so cute & roomy, cooking on the skillet over the fire with the well designed fire pit with adjustable racks made it incredibly easy to cook over., and having dish washing service was so nice! Having a pod coffee maker along with pods, creamer & suger made my morning! The private hot tub was so relaxing & everything being spotless made it welcoming. Thank U 😊🙏

Weekend Trip to Off Map Glamping

We loved our visit. It is so peaceful and serene. The firefly's were amazing outside our tent. The land is beautiful, tents are secluded for the most part. The communal barn and bathrooms are top notch. There are battery pack in each tent so you can have fans (provided) going and you can charge your phone if you wish. Lanterns are also in the tents. This was a fantastic we will be back.
