Weekend Trip to Wrenhaven Woods - Trails & Sunsets

What a great great host and a camping experience. The location was very clean and comfortable. Plenty of privacy, but so close to the car only a third of a mile walk wasn’t bad at all. We also enjoyed many of the local activities and had a great time. Plan on making another trip back soon..

Great kind people with a clean property and camper, would highly recommend

1 night at Atomic camp ground

Perfect getaway spot to pitch a tent, burn a fire and relax! Was greeted when I arrived and shown the lay of the land. Potable water readily available, clean porta potty, access to a grill and lounge area but I cooked on the fire and set up my own lounge by my fire/tent. Looking forward to capitalizing on this beautiful property soon!

Weekend Trip to 2Chicks And A Farm

We absolutely loved staying in Lucy! My kids and I had the best time, and the experience by far exceeded our expectations. Julie made us feel so welcome and made sure we had everything we needed. My dog even enjoyed meeting all the other guests. We enjoyed the farm tour and visits by the cats. The food was amazing and the shower felt like I was at a home away from home. I can’t thank them enough!

Weekend Trip to 2Chicks And A Farm

We had such a lovely time campping at Julie's place! The teepees were cozy and the cots were an amazing addition that saved our old lady backs. My wife and I felt so welcomed and comfortable, as did the rest of the group we traveled with. The campground was clean, the animals were cute, the people were nice. What more can you ask for?

Weekend Trip to Wrenhaven Woods - Trails & Sunsets

Very friendly hosts, campsite was secluded and private but easy to access and provided everything we needed. Appreciate the last minute accommodations, would recommend!

Weekend Trip to Sunflower Farms

Loved the sunflower decor he has around the property, beautiful land, and very friendly host!

5 nights at Sunflower Farms

The set up is perfect for beginner campers (they offer everything you could possibly need) or any camper! I enjoyed the northern lights, fully unplugged, in silence/nature for the week. Unfortunately I wasn't able to leave it better than I found it. The host was kind, accommodating, and very understanding of the mess I didn't intend to leave behind. If you're looking, just book it, you won't regret it!

1 night at Pondor Lake Southwest Michigan

We loved Robin's site, the pond was awesome and good fishing. Will definitely go again.

Weekend Trip to Sunflower Farms

Very chill and relaxing environment. Was able to go Kayaking on Lake Michigan and Black River while staying at Sunflower farms (within 10 minutes). Frank was very accommodating with everything and we even ended up adding a day to our trip. Camp sites are fair distance away from eachother providing ample privacy. LOVE the small trail system and excited to stay here again in the future. Highly recommended.

Weekend Trip to Blooming Bus Farms

Excellent weekend spent at Blooming Bus Farms. Melissa is an excellent host. Sites are clean, well kept and amenities are all close by.

Weekend Trip to Backwoods Browns

This space was so great for my dog and i and our 23 ft rig during our first few days of full time bus life! It was incredibly peaceful (so many birds!) and very private. It is right off of a road but it doesn't feel like it and is super tucked away and safe. The hosts were so great and gave great recs that I asked for. Plus the location is prime for Saugatuck and Douglas and so many beautiful trails.

Weekend Trip to The Haven

Place was great with a great view of the river. Kat was very friendly and easy to communicate with. Would definitely go back again.

Weekend Trip to Perfect Camping Retreat

Very good experience! Communication was great with Debbie, and her husband came by our campsite shortly after we arrived to let us know about the hiking trails, firewood availability and the lookout tower. Will definitely go back!

Weekend Trip to The Haven

Great private location with excellent hosts. Will return!

Weekend Trip to Campit Outdoor Resort Saugatuck

Campit is a wonderful place for the LGBTQIA+ community and allies to relax and recreate with each other. The property is beautiful, and the people are genuine. Can’t wait for many more trips to come.

Weekend Trip to Perfect Camping Retreat

Tent camping was very peaceful and relaxing here! Hosts were very understanding of a personal family emergency we went through making us late for check-in. Firewood was plentiful and easy to break down to use. Fairly private. Could see other campers, but didn't feel cramped. Overall great experience.

Weekend Trip to 2Chicks And A Farm

We had a great time and really appreciate the chance for our children to interact with the animals!

Weekend Trip to Blooming Bus Farms

The place was pretty cool and nice. The amenities mentioned were exactly same and perfect. We booked a campsite with kitchen and restroom. The host was very friendly and responsive. The night stay was a great experience. We would love to visit again soon.

4 nights at Forest Haven RV Park and Campground

We enjoyed camping at Forest Haven RV Park. The hosts and staff were very friendly and helpful. The walking trails were great. We will definitely camp there again.

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.

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.

One site, capable of taking a mid sized RV / Fifth Wheel, is located on the front of the property with easy access from the road. It backs up to some trails and and brush / wood area and has a corn field to the right. So, even though on the front on the property, you have a feeling of privacy.

A more secluded half open and half in light woods., and is located at the top of the pasture. Then another in the middle of the pasture, one for sun lovers and one for those who prefer more shade.

The Mellow Microcosm Group Camp

This is a group camp site only, 20 person minimum. I want this space to be a place of peace and relaxing where you can be free to be yourselves. I feel it’s great for groups that want privacy for their own group without having to worry about other campers who may not like the same activities. It’s a small farm that has different crops planted on it in different years, there are 3 small ponds, one we use for swimming and entertaining. There are other kinds of fruit and vegetable farms nearby. We are in the heart of winery country and we are only 15 minutes from Lake Michigan and only minutes from several small inland all sports lakes. We also own a Farm Market and Flower Greenhouses. There is a large area if you have a group of campers we can accommodate more. We are constantly trying to update all the time and we do use it for our own parties and entertainment.

Mulln-Heim Vineyards

3 sites · RVs, Tents40 acres · Baroda, MI

This is a 3rd generation "Family Farm" of a different sort I suppose. Seems there's a bit of everything here, and arguably not enough of anything. At least for conventional farming. So we've learned to do things a bit differently.Our main crop is wine and juice grapes since our topography, climate, and soil type makes it a premier location for that. But with 30+ acres of forested hillsides, low ground, and natural areas we've evolved into a mixed farm and forest enterprise. Our goal is to utilize the productivity of all our property while still retaining the basic character and usefulness of the wild areas. Letting each thing be what it wants to be and does best on it's own. Flow, not force.So our year starts early with tapping maple trees and making maple syrup. Plus there's grape trimming about this time as well. When the forest floor starts to green up a bit later, we start digging Ramps, or Wild Leeks in the woods. Most of these will go to the more trendy Chicago restaurants, but we also have some local sales. Next comes inoculating winter-cut logs with Shiitake spawn for next years mushroom production. This year we also conducted a few hands-on workshop seminars on mushroom growing as well. Then it's on to our raised bed herb & veggie gardens. (Fresh herbs are just so much fun to cook with!) We grow enough for our own yearly use, as well as some for direct sales. Summer keeps us busy tending all the different crops here and trying to keep up. But there's that steady progression of fresh veggies to eat. Yum !!! Fall brings our annual Grape U-Pick in September and October. And we try to time related crops like mums, pumpkins, and gourds for this same time frame. Makes the place a bit more interesting. Late fall is when we bring in firewood to heat the house and workshop. Stacks of wood everywhere. Hopefully before the 1st snow. In winter it's time to fire up the woodworking shop and be a bit creative. Build furniture, equipment maintenance, who knows what next years projects will include. I like to keep everybody guessing.So, that's what goes on here. You're welcome to check it out, lend a hand, relax back at camp, walk the vineyards and/or forest, or just breathe and relax. That's up to you. But I would recommend visiting a few of the fine local wineries. Seems there's a festival going on at one or another of them just about every weekend. Good music, good wine, good times. And there's the Lake Michigan beaches a few miles down the road.Yeah, this is a pretty casual place here, love meeting new people, very open to civil discussions of all sorts.However, rude, ill mannered people will probably enjoy staying elsewhere. Just say'n.

The Riding Stable and Resort

7 sites · Tents15 acres · Lakeville, IN

When we bought this property in 2013, it was a little run down. Many years ago, it housed sheep and cows. We revamped our little 15-acre farm and continue to improve its looks. Now it is our home and houses my riding stable. Many people have commented on how nice it is. I thought this would be a great opportunity to share its beauty and the animals with others. Learn more about this land: We have 3 spots to pitch a tent, but we're pretty flexible. If you see another area, please ask!. Site "Woods" is most secluded. We now have a cabin!! Our "Chalet". It will sleep 4 and has some great amenities. The others are around our grassy barnyard area where you're able to enjoy all of our different animals!. All sites are 2-5 mins from the main house. You will be staying on our horse farm. We have many chickens, bunnies, a potbelly pig, feeder pigs (depending on the time of year), and our 4 house dogs. We offer overnight equine amenities as well. There are 2 showering options and restroom available. You can enjoy a small fire (weather dependent) or listen to the crickets and frogs under the starry night. Actually, you can do it all. We offer trail rides on the horses as well, (extra charges). You can even book a trip to the state park to ride the horse trails, which is only 15 minutes away. There is a great fishing lake less than 1 mile from the farm, so bring your poles and kayaks. Or rent ours! There is a Dollar General, 2 gas stations, and a liquor store in our tiny little town if you forget anything. Walmart is 12 minutes North of us.
